Description

Government agencies rely on guidance to clarify regulatory text or statutes, to respond to the questions of affected parties in a timely way, and to inform the public about complex policy implementation topics. Unlike regulations, guidance is not legally binding. This report examines guidance processes at four agencies: the Departments of Agriculture (USDA), Education, Health and Human Services (HHS), and Labor (DOL). It reviews how agencies (1) use guidance and decide to issue guidance rather than regulations; (2) follow applicable criteria and leading practices in their policies, procedures, and practices for producing guidance; and (3) disseminate guidance to ensure public access and feedback. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
