screen shot of the message about beta site at place where you comment about ESG and DOL ruleThursday, July 30, 2020 is the last day to comment on the DOL's proposed regulation on environmental, social, governance (ESG) investments in retirement plans. The DOL made the comment period shorter than is typical. They also added an interesting twist: A notice on the site, where you go to comment, says this:

"Regulations.gov will start redirecting users to the Beta at https://beta.regulations.gov on Thursday, July 30th, at 8 am ET to Friday, July 31st at 8 am ET. Please note that all comments that are submitted through the Beta, both during the redirect and regular operations are provided to agencies."

Why did they choose tomorrow, of all days, to test launch a beta site? Why not a soft launch on a weekend, or a Friday evening? Come on.
