“Federal law generally requires that regulations, both major and minor, be opened for public comment, allowing interested parties to read the rules and remark on them, potentially enacting changes to the proposed rules. The GAO report notes that the majority of the regulations published without a notice-and-comment period were done so because the government claimed to have ‘good cause’ to do so. The federal government invokes ‘good cause’ when it believes a comment period or comments are contrary to the public interest or if public notice may be deemed unnecessary or impractical.”
