Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM)
Based on court decisions, if an agency makes significant substantive changes between the NPRM and the final rule, the public must be given an opportunity to comment on the revisions. In such a case, the agency issues an SNPRM and considers comments on that notice before proceeding to the final rule. What is meant by “significant substantive changes” is new requirements that go beyond the scope of the requirements proposed in the NPRM. The agency may proceed with a final rule on other parts of the proposal while comments on the SNPRM are being made.
