## Abstract

The Department of Health and Human Services finalizes its proposed regulations governing the agency's release and maintenance of guidance documents. These regulations will help to ensure that the public receives appropriate notice of new guidance and that the Department's guidance does not impose obligations on regulated parties that are not already reflected in duly enacted statutes or regulations lawfully promulgated under them.
