DHS Seeks Comment on Regulations Needing Revisions

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested public input on "specific existing significant DHS rules that the Department should consider as candidates for modification, streamlining, expansion, or repeal," the agency said in a notice. DHS, which includes CBP and ICE, is working to "ensure that its regulations contain necessary, properly tailored, and up-to-date requirements that effectively achieve regulatory objectives without imposing unwarranted costs." Beginning in 2011, DHS seeks comment on the need for regulatory changes every three years. The agency also publishes a progress report twice a year giving status updates on regulations under retrospective review, it said. Comments are due March 28.
