▁the ▁Internet ▁Engineering ▁Task ▁Force , ▁Java ▁Community ▁Process , ▁and ▁other ▁technical ▁communities , ▁have ▁adopted ▁similar ▁principles ▁and ▁frameworks ▁to ▁ensure ▁fair ness , ▁trans par ency , ▁and ▁thorough ness . ▁While ▁the ▁mechan ics ▁vary , ▁these ▁efforts ▁follow ▁the ▁same ▁pattern ▁of ▁an ▁open ▁rule making ▁record , ▁public ▁publication ▁of ▁propos als , ▁and ▁an ▁opportunity ▁for ▁public ▁comment ▁on ▁those ▁propos als ▁before ▁they ▁are ▁final ized . ▁ ▁Rule making ▁appar atus ▁Public ▁participation ▁requires ▁some ▁official ▁methods ▁for ▁the ▁ag ency ▁to ▁communicate ▁with ▁the ▁public . ▁ ▁Gener ally , ▁ag encies ▁produce ▁an ▁official ▁gaz ette , ▁or ▁period ical ▁for ▁publishing ▁all ▁rule making ▁notice , ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁Federal ▁Register . ▁ ▁Once ▁a ▁rule ▁is ▁final , ▁the ▁language ▁of ▁the ▁rule ▁itself ▁( not ▁the ▁supporting ▁analysis ▁or ▁data ) ▁is ▁cod ified ▁in ▁the ▁official ▁body ▁of ▁reg ulations , ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁Code ▁of ▁Federal ▁Reg ulations ▁( CF R ). ▁ ▁In ▁ess ence , ▁the ▁account ability ▁of ▁the ▁rule making ▁system ▁assumes ▁that ▁the ▁public ▁does ▁take ▁note ▁of ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁not ices ▁in ▁the ▁Federal ▁Register , ▁which ▁can ▁run ▁over ▁a ▁hundred ▁pages ▁per ▁day . ▁ ▁In ▁practice , ▁many ▁industry ▁or ▁public ▁advoc acy ▁lo bb y ists ▁and ▁law y ers ▁monitor ▁the ▁Federal ▁Register ▁Table ▁of ▁Cont ents ▁every ▁day ▁by ▁email ▁on ▁beh alf ▁of ▁their ▁constitu ents ▁or ▁clients . ▁ ▁Public ▁comments ▁are
