Retrospective Review of Existing Regulations; Request for Public Input

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, DHS.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (Department or DHS) is seeking comments from the public on specific existing significant DHS rules that the Department should consider as candidates for modification, streamlining, expansion, or repeal.  These efforts will help DHS ensure that its regulations contain necessary, properly tailored, and up-to-date requirements that effectively achieve regulatory objectives without imposing unwarranted costs.

DHS is seeking this input pursuant to the process identified in DHS’s Final Plan for the Retrospective Review of Existing Regulations. According to the Final Plan, DHS will initiate its retrospective review process, on a three-year cycle, by seeking input from the public. The most helpful input will identify specific regulations and include actionable data supporting the nomination of specific regulations for retrospective review.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number DHS– 2014–0006, through the Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov.   Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
