But If You Try Sometimes, You Might Find You Get What You Need

JoiJoin us for a webinar on May 22 from 3-4 p.m. EST where Andrew Reamer, of the George Washington Institute of Public Policy and the Industry Studies Association, will discuss ways to engage in federal decision-making.

The U.S. government offers hundreds of open opportunities for members of the public to suggest changes in and improvements to public data collection, analysis, and dissemination. As the public is largely unaware of these opportunities. Andrew Reamer lists many of them in his weekly Industrial Policy Update prepared for members of the Industry Studies Association and a few thousand others. In this APDU webinar, Prof. Reamer will provide an overview of, and approaches to answering, five types of input opportunities on public data:

  • Information collection submissions to OMB
  • Requests for comments on draft plans, reports, and rules
  • Requests for information to aid future decision-making
  • Federal advisory committee meetings
  • Written outside witness testimony to congressional appropriation committees

Register here to join the conversation.
