SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents missed regulatory deadlines by helping you monitor open NPRM comment periods and by recording an attorney-reviewed decision about whether to file a comment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deadline surfacing for open NPRMs: Shows which NPRMs are in comment and how close each deadline is.
  • Decision logging with rationale: Records whether the organization will file, not file, or waive, including a short reasoning note.
  • Reminder and notification support: Issues escalation reminders based on time-to-deadline and can notify the decision owner (e.g., via Slack DM) when configured.
  • Safety gate for filings: Enforces a “who’s using this” role check so “filing” decisions and submission-ready drafts can’t proceed without an explicit attorney yes.

Quick Start

Use the comments skill to review the open NPRM comment tracker and then log your organization’s decision for a specific comment ID.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track NPRM comment deadlines and log our organization's filing decision?

To track NPRM comment deadlines, load your local YAML comment tracker to surface open comment periods, then log an attorney-approved decision to file, not file, or waive with a rationale note for auditable regulatory tracking.

What is the attorney review gate for regulatory comment filings?

The attorney review gate is a safety mechanism that prevents a filing decision or submission-ready draft from proceeding without an explicit attorney yes, ensuring regulatory compliance and auditable decision ownership.

Can I send Slack notifications for approaching NPRM comment deadlines?

Yes, you can send Slack notifications for NPRM comment deadlines. The skill issues escalation reminders based on time-to-deadline and can notify the configured decision owner via Slack DM when an NPRM comment window is active.

Do I need a YAML file to manage the rulemaking workflow for regulatory comments?

Yes, a local YAML comment tracker is required as input to manage the rulemaking workflow. You must also load a default decision owner profile to enforce the filing gate and emit deadline reminders for open NPRMs.

What's the best way to record decisions for NPRMs we choose not to file comments on?

The best way to record decisions for NPRMs you will not file is to log a not file or waive decision with a short reasoning note. This creates an auditable record of your regulatory decision tracking and deadline visibility.

Limitations of using a local YAML tracker for regulatory comments?

A limitation of using a local YAML tracker is that deadline tracking and decision logging require manual loading of the file and a default decision owner profile before the rulemaking workflow and filing gate can be enforced.
