sadly the answer is yes.....
all a federal AGENCY has to do is publish in the Congressional Federal Record any propsed rule changes and allow a 90 response time. After the 90 days has passed the new regulation becomes law.
I belive this is how then Treas Secretary Lloyd Benson made the Street Sweeper and USAS 12 destructive devices. He published a rule change saying that those devices had no sporting purpose and in 90 days they became destructive devices.
The Congress is SUPPOSED to make law but since so many of them are too ignorant to make CHANGE from a dollar bill this is what they have allowed to occur.
Washington DC is in dire need of an enema...........
