28 CFR Part 35 Title II Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) - Preamble (published 2008)

Plain Language Instructions

The Department makes every effort to promote clarity and transparency in its rulemaking.  In any regulation, there is a tension between drafting language that is simple and straightforward that also gives full effect to issues of legal interpretation.  The Department operates a toll-free ADA Information Line (800-514-0301 (voice); 800-514-0383 (TTY)) that the public is welcome to call during normal business hours to obtain assistance in understanding anything in this rule.  If any commenter has suggestions for how the regulation could be written more clearly, please contact Janet L. Blizard, Deputy Chief, Disability Rights Section, whose contact information is provided in the introductory section of this rule, entitled, "For Further Information Contact."
