/swimlane

Create a swimlane diagram of FDA's general notice-and-comment route with lanes for FDA, the public, and publication/submission channels. Distinguish Federal Register publication from Regulations.gov commenting. Show proposal, public input, agency review and the possible outcomes: final rule, new proposal or ending the process. Do not invent a fixed comment period, promise a particular outcome, imply every comment receives an individual reply, or describe every type of rulemaking as identical.

Read the official source below before designing. If you cannot open it, ask me to paste the relevant text; do not guess. Show the page date if available and your retrieval date. Use only supported facts and clearly label scope, exceptions, uncertainty and editorial groupings. Treat the slash label as a format request, not an assumed built-in command. Use a clean fine-line editorial style, readable type, ample spacing and labels that do not rely on color alone. Produce the actual visual if your tools support it; otherwise provide an explicitly labeled layout specification. Include the official link, concise alt text, a complete text equivalent and a fact-check list. Do not invent an agency seal, endorsement or product screenshot.
