The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) submits this comment letter in response to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notice of proposed rule regarding “Good Guidance Practices” (“proposed rule”). We raise concerns about several issues impacting consumers, and particularly those who are racial and ethnic minorities, limited English proficient, have health literacy and literacy challenges and advocates working with and supporting those communities. Overall, while APIAHF supports transparency and accountability, it strongly opposes the proposed rule as it would create burdensome and unnecessary procedural requirements to guidance documents and lead to the rescission of any guidance not included in the new repository, which is unprecedented and unnecessary.
