Agencies and their Regulations
In this simulation, students will learn about the federal agencies and their regulations. First, students will be randomly assigned a Federal Agency and they are tasked with visiting the agency's website to share what they found interesting. Next, students read a recent regulation issued by their federal agency and share what they found interesting, confusing, and how it directly or indirectly affects their current or future occupation. Then, students will do a deep dive of the Code of Federal Regulations that is primarily affected by the recent regulation and share what they find intriguing. Finally, students will explore the process of offering a Public Comment or reviewing past Public Comments on the regulation.
