Excerpt
Excerpt: A. What is the Document Drafting Handbook (DDH)? The DDH provides Federal agencies with guidance and examples for complying with the Office of the Federal Register's format and editorial requirements for Federal Register documents. All the information you need to prepare a particular type of document (proposed rule, rule, or notice) is in one place. For example, to write a proposed rule, refer to “Chapter 1: How do I write a document for the proposed rules category?”
