PART 110--OPM REGULATIONS AND INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart A--Posting Notices of New Regulations
 
Sec. 110.102  Agency responsibilities.

    (a) Making regulations available for review. Offices receiving the 
reprints of notices of rulemaking described in Sec. 110.101(a) will make 
them available for review upon request. Each office will complete the 
posting notice described in Sec. 110.101(b) to indicate where and how 
requests to review these materials should be made.
    (b) Posting locations and supplemental announcements. Once 
completed, posting notices will be displayed in a prominent place. 
Agencies should choose the posting location which best fits their 
physical layout. Agencies may, at their discretion, supplement these 
postings with announcements of new regulations in employee newsletters 
and use other communication methods to provide notice of regulatory 
changes. The basic requirement to post the notice continues, however, 
even if supplemental announcement methods are used.
    (c) Posting after the Federal Register comment date passes. The 
public comment period on proposed regulations begins when a notice of 
proposed rulemaking is published in the Federal Register, not with the 
posting of the notice described in Sec. 110.101(b). The purpose of the 
Sec. 110.101(b) notice is solely to inform managers and employees of 
changes. Agencies are required to post the Sec. 110.101(b) notice even 
if the formal deadline for comments shown in the preamble of the Federal 
Register notice of rulemaking has passed. Agencies should make every 
reasonable effort to minimize delays in distributing the special 
bulletins described in Sec. 110.101 to their field offices.
    (d) No fixed posting period. There are no minimum or maximum time 
limits on displaying the notice described in Sec. 110.101(b) of this 
section. Each office receiving a notice for posting should choose the 
posting period which provides the best opportunity to inform managers 
and employees of regulatory changes based upon office layout, geographic 
dispersion of employees and other local factors.
