Are there specific requirements for who should review the final draft chapter?
Yes. A. For some chapters, you must ask for public comment by publishing a notice of availability of the draft in the Federal Register. PDM can assist you. If the chapter meets one of the following four criteria, you must seek public comment: (1) Has clear and substantial impact on important public policies or private sector decisions, (2) Raises highly controversial issues related to interagency concerns or important Administration priorities, (3) Establishes initial interpretations of statutory or regulatory requirements, or (4) Is about innovative or complex scientific or technical issues. B. For some chapters (e.g., those with legal issues), you should seek the Solicitors surname before sending it to other offices. PDM can help you determine if the Solicitor should review the package. C. You should ask Washington Office Directorate members whose programs have significant responsibility to review and concur on the final draft chapter. 3.8 What happens if a reviewing official does no
