PUBLIC POLICY PARTICIPATION PROCEDURE Sample Clauses
The Public Policy Participation Procedure clause outlines the process by which parties can engage in or respond to matters involving public policy within the context of the agreement. Typically, this clause specifies the steps for notifying relevant parties, submitting comments or objections, and the timelines for such participation. For example, it may require a party to inform the other if they intend to participate in a regulatory hearing or public consultation that could affect the agreement. The core function of this clause is to ensure transparency and coordination between parties when public policy issues arise, thereby minimizing misunderstandings and protecting each party’s interests in regulatory or governmental proceedings.
