EDGI Public Comments Initiative

August 5, 2024

The Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI) launched their Public Comments Initiative to help people and organizations understand and more effectively engage in the public commenting process when new rules are proposed by federal agencies.

As part of this project, they developed four guides tailored to the EPA. They include:

  • How to Write Effective Public Comments
  • Research Recommendations for Writing Informed Public Comments 
  • What Happens to a Public Comment After It Is Submitted
  • Beyond Public Comments: Other Ways to Engage With and Influence Federal Agencies

EDGI has also written a policy brief and public comments on improving the government’s public participation facilitation. These include:

  • Expanding Public Participation Through Improved Sharing and Management of Public Information (July 2, 2024)
  • EDGI Comments on the Office of Management and Budget’s RFI on Advancing Public Participation and Community Engagement (May 17, 2024)
  • Comments by the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative on Broadening Public Engagement in the Federal Regulatory Process (March 10, 2023)
