Midnight Regs: Skipping Public Comments, Pricey FOIAs and More
By admin on December 31, 2008
You may be sated on turkey, holiday cookies and eggnog, but we have another holiday treat for you: more pesky final rules from the Bush administration. ProPublica continues to track the midnight regulations and will do so through the final hours. There is less than a month left — with some exceptions, rules finalized now will not go into effect until after President-elect Barack Obama is sworn into office. Nevertheless the rules continue to trickle in.
To help distract you from your holiday hangover, we bring you six rules today. Our first rule comes from the Department of Homeland Security. On Dec. 17, the agency issued an interim final rule that eliminates expired forms of identification from the list of acceptable employment verification documents.
