CRE Interactive Public Docket Service
CRE has developed the Interactive Public Docket (IPD) as a way of
publicizing and obtaining feedback on a variety of important regulatory
issues. The goals of the IPD are to improve the federal regulatory process
and to encourage sound regulatory policy by increasing public participation
and analysis.
CRE Interactive Public Dockets allow for ongoing debate of regulatory
issues, even after the close of official public comment periods, and with
the click of a button, regulators can review the continuing policy
discussion. The IPD process works as follows.
- CRE develops background and other analytical materials and invites
responses from interested stakeholders, federal officials, and the public.
- CRE has the ability to publicize key issues through strategically placed
links on a wide range of relevant websites.
- IPD comments received are placed on the CRE Website and are ultimately
analyzed in a manner similar to those reported on in the Federal Register.
- The CRE "docket" on the issue in question can then be submitted to the
agency for review.
CRE welcomes suggestions for future topics for coverage through the
Interactive Public Docket.
