Tomorrow morning, the Federal Register will publish DOJ's legally-mandated call for public comments about the economic and manpower burdens associated with Section 2257 records creation and maintenance.
They think it takes six minutes.
They think it only applies to about 900 people
Read my take on it here.

I think this puts all the regs on the table for discussion. Obviously, DOJ can't just walk away and not regulate because there is a statute. But they have huge and tremendous discretion and most of the burden, and most of the confusing craziness is a product of how they have implemented the mandate of Congress in their bewildering regulations. If you decide to write on your own, at least read my Primer to get your ideas together.

This is a call to action. You have 30 days to comment, to create an administrative record that can later be used in court, and it's possible to do so anonymously.
