Handbook for Developing Rulemaking Documents
Mr. Gessel has prepared a prototype Handbook that can be tailored for specific agency groups to provide instructions in “cookbook style” for developing rulemaking documents. Contact Mr. Gessel to learn about how the prototype handbook can be tailored to meet your agency needs.

For those involved in Federal rulemaking activities, Mr. Gessel conducts a two-day course captioned "Informal Rulemaking - How to Make It Work For You." It is the most effective tool on the market for improving skills and increasing productivity. Course topics include:
- Understanding the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act,
- Using the different types of rulemaking documents,
- Preparing rule text,
- Preparing the "basis and purpose" portion of the preamble, and
- Understanding when statutes and executive orders require the preparation of analyses.
Contact Mr. Gessel for times and places for open enrollment courses.
Also, contact Mr. Gessel if you are interested in having him present his rulemaking course to your agency group. He will be happy to include agency documents in the drafting exercises and otherwise tailor the course to meet specific agency needs.

Reg Map
Mr. Gessel drafted the original edition of the Reg Map which was used for many years by government officials, law schools students, and others to understand rulemaking requirements. A link to the Reg Map, which has been changed to include additional information, can be found on the GSA regulatory website at www.reginfo.gov.
