Sec. 110.102  What are Agency responsibilities?

    (a) Agencies will make regulations available for review by 
employees, managers, and other interested parties. Federal agencies 
receiving the notices of rulemaking described in Sec. 110.101(b) will 
make those regulations available for review upon request. Each agency 
will complete the posting notice described in Sec. 110.101(a) 
indicating where and how requests to review these materials should be 
made.
    (b) Agencies will determine posting locations and, if desired, 
develop supplemental announcements. Agencies will display completed 
posting notices in a prominent place where the notices can be easily 
seen and read. Agencies will choose the posting location that best fits 
their physical layout. Agencies may supplement these postings with 
announcements in employee newsletters, agency Web sites, or other 
communication methods. The basic requirement to post the notice 
continues, however, even if supplemental announcement methods are used.
    (c) Agencies will post notices of the new regulations even if the 
Federal Register comment date has passed. 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(a). The purpose of posting notice is solely 
to inform agency personnel of changes. Agencies are required to post the 
posting 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 notice 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(a). 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.
