As usual, you can blog this, delete this, move it to another page. I’d be boring for oil rather than just boring, if I could be.

This is NOT about the e-docket currently providing the world so much amusement.

Another Federal Register Comment Request may deserve attention. See FR page 57918 published October 2, 2006. The first main section says answers received by November 1 are more likely to receive attention. Then swine (between these pearls). Then the third main section of the notice is headed Animal Welfare Act, Part 3, and asks about new Federal law for mammals “used for research or exhibition purposes.”

“Circus” seems to be a word their typewriters just won’t type, but this extra notice implies they will go after circuses with the same broom they have aimed at zoos – only it allows less time for answers. If they wanted expert knowledge, it seems like they could list major associations they have officially notified at the same time they throw open the doors and windows to the public.

On the bright side, maybe the Oct. 2 notice is a test to see who responds when they ask for input through different portals. Doubt that, but wish for a constructive turn of events. I’m 100 percent in favor of public notices getting noticed, but responses that aren’t visible to the general public could include even worse lies than the ones we have seen repeated so many times. Responses allowed to influence law makers must be vetted.
