I'm really glad that @acusgov has tackled this important study and recommendation, which builds on Cary Coglianese (@TheRegReview)'s important prior ACUS study, from which ACUS recommended that operative agency guidance documents be publicly available.
The @ACUSgov assembly is considering Proposed Recommendation: Public Availability of Inoperative Agency Guidance Documents. Background materials can be found here: buff.ly/3DVYPZz
