美国卫生秘书提议结束公众对HHS决定的评论,引起对透明度的担忧。 US Health Secretary proposes ending public comments on HHS decisions, sparking transparency concerns.

美国卫生与公众服务部长罗伯特·肯尼迪(Robert F. Kennedy Jr)建议结束一种长期做法,允许公众就卫生与健康调查的广泛决定发表评论,包括那些与机构管理、人事、公共财产和合同有关的决定。 US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is proposing to end a long-standing practice that allows public comments on a wide range of HHS decisions, including those related to agency management, personnel, public property, and contracts. 此举扭转了1971年称为Richardson Waiver的政策,旨在精简程序,但震惊了那些担心会减少公众参与和透明度的开放政府倡导者。 This move, reversing a 1971 policy known as the Richardson Waiver, aims to streamline processes but has alarmed open government advocates who fear it will reduce public participation and transparency. 政策变化定于3月3日在联邦登记册上公布。 The policy change is set to be published in the Federal Register on March 3.
