Increase Information technology in Rule Making

3. Increase use of information technology. (4)

The application of information technology in rule evelopment and
implementation should be explored by agencies individually, through the
RCG, and in coordination with existing information resources management
groups. At a minimum, agencies should explore computerization of
rulemaking dockets. DOT found that the cost savings in storage space
would exceed the costs of implementing such a program. It would also
give the public easier and more meaningful access to rulemaking and
policy guidance documents.  Agencies also should consider establishing
computer bulletin boards or automated systems that could be accessed by
interested parties.
