The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) has issued a proposed rule governing the agency's release and maintenance of guidance documents.
 
This rule was crafted to help 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, according to the rule summary.
 
HHS proposes to create an online electronic database containing or linking to guidance documents. It further proposes that the department's primary guidance repository can link to subsidiary guidance repositories.
