This one-day course is designed to help Federal agency employees navigate the vast world of Agency Guidance. Guidance is often used as a broad term which includes agency interpretations, policy statements, letters, and advisory materials by whatever name. Agency guidance is used to describe materials issued to supplement or explain regulations and statutes. This course will explain the differences between various types of guidance documents, what is meant by "binding" versus "non-binding guidance," the spectrum of procedural (APA) options agencies have for promulgating guidance, and levels of judicial deference or respect given to the resulting documents. This course will also address techniques for writing and organizing guidance documents. The cost for this one-day course is $415.00. Group rates are available for three or more registrants.
