ACTION:
Proposed rule; reopening of comment period.
SUMMARY:
The Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) reopens the public comment period on the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2008 (73 FR19708) to propose clarifications and new requirements to implement the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act of 2000). During the comment period there were instances when the electronic system was not available and individuals were having difficulties using the system. ADD is reopening the comment period of the NPRM to ensure that all individuals have an opportunity to comment on the proposed rule. Also, the submission of comments electronically will now be through the OMB regulations Web site, regulations.gov, rather than ACF's regulations Web site.

All comments and letters will be available for public inspection, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the address above, by calling (202) 690-5841 to set up an appointment and gain entry to the building.
