HELP ASAP Over several decades, health advocacy and medical interests that wanted to slow or
stop the prevalence of tobacco smoking in the United States used a process
mandated under the Federal Administrative Procedure Act of 1947 to undercut the

Known as the notice-and-comment rule, the mandate allowed interest groups,

B. undertake grassroots lobbying campaigns with federal funding.

C. give money under the table to federal regulators.

D. publicize their views and participate in implementing legislation
