a. Publish a request for comment within the preamble of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) or Interim Final Rule (IFR). Such request must provide the appropriate information, as follows:

(1) When your agency is proposing to use a voluntary consensus standard, provide a statement which identifies such standard.

(2) When your agency is proposing to use a government-unique standard in lieu of a voluntary consensus standard, provide a statement which identifies such standards and provides a preliminary explanation for the proposed use of a government-unique standard in lieu of a voluntary consensus standard.

(3) When your agency is proposing to use a government-unique standard, and no voluntary consensus standard has been identified, a statement to that effect and an invitation to identify any such standard and to explain why such standard should be used.
