There were nine notices published by the Justice Department in week ending March 18, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993-Open Grid Alliance, Inc., was submitted on March 17, 2023.

The Justice Department published two the week before, marking a 350 percent increase.

The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
