E-Rulemaking: Federal Times Article on DOT Pilot Project

An August 22 article in Federal Times reported on a pilot project that the Department of Transportation is running, in collaboration with the Cornell e-Rulemaking Institute, to increase public participation in the rulemaking process through electronic media. The project reportedly includes the creation of a website with the URL www.regulationroom.org, an online moderator to field comments from the public, and even a Facebook page.
