    An agency also must publish (1) the critical factual material relied on as part of the rulemaking or guidance development process, and (2) a citation to any other source used to inform the rulemaking or guidance development process.

    The guidelines must also require an agency to provide certain opportunities for the public to comment on the critical factual material upon which the agency relied.
