SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

NPRMs have comment deadlines, and missing the decision log creates legal and operational risk for whether the company will participate or remain silent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comment Period Tracking: Surfaces open NPRM comment windows with deadlines, days-left, and decision status so teams can act before time runs out.
  • Decision Logging: Records filing, not-filing, or waived outcomes tied to a specific CMT-ID with attorney-style rationale capture.
  • Deadline Reminders & Notifications: Sends reminders at 14 days and escalates at 3 days before the deadline for still-undecided items, including optional Slack DM to the decision owner.
  • Consequential-Action Gate: Blocks logging a decision as "filing" and blocks producing submission-ready drafts unless the user explicitly confirms the required attorney-review gate for non-lawyer roles.

Quick Start

Use the comments skill to view the current open NPRM comment periods and then log your outcome for a specific CMT ID.

Frequently Asked Questions about comments

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track NPRM comment periods and filing deadlines?

Track NPRM comment periods using a YAML-backed tracker that surfaces open comment windows with deadlines, days-left, and decision status. This provides deadline visibility so teams can act before time runs out and avoid missing the decision log.

How do I log legal decisions for regulatory comment submissions?

Log regulatory comment submission decisions by recording filing, not-filing, or waived outcomes tied to a specific CMT-ID. The system captures attorney-style rationale for each decision, creating an auditable record of whether the company participates or remains silent.

Can I automate compliance reminders for upcoming regulatory deadlines?

Automate compliance reminders for regulatory deadlines with built-in notification triggers. The system sends reminders at 14 days and escalates at 3 days before the deadline for undecided items, including optional Slack DMs to the assigned decision owner.

Do I need attorney review to file an NPRM comment?

Non-lawyer roles must pass a consequential-action gate requiring explicit attorney-review confirmation before logging a filing decision or producing submission-ready drafts. This legal gatekeeping prevents unauthorized regulatory comment submissions.

When do I need to implement legal gatekeeping for NPRM comment tracking?

Implement legal gatekeeping for NPRM comment tracking during active comment windows when teams need deadline visibility and internal decision logging. It is required when non-lawyer users attempt to commit to a filing decision or generate submission-ready drafts.

What are the limitations of automated NPRM deadline tracking?

Automated NPRM deadline tracking requires loading a YAML-backed tracker and does not bypass the consequential-action gate for non-lawyers. Users cannot log a filing decision or produce submission-ready drafts without explicitly confirming the required attorney review.
