To assist in achieving the purpose of the SAFETY Act, the Department of Homeland Security published an interim rule in the Federal Register Oct. 16, 2003, setting forth the regulations implementing the SAFETY Act. The same day, DHS made publicly available the SAFETY Act Application Kit. Together they seem to embody the DHS' regulatory guidance on meeting the purpose of the SAFETY ACT, but there is some debate as to whether these two documents sufficiently satisfy the purpose of the SAFETY Act.
