The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has opened a public comment period on a proposed revision to the "Specified Existing-Home Information Provider Group Registration Rules," according to a notice published on the e-Gov public comment portal [1]. The notice, dated November 2, 2026, concerns a draft measure titled "a matter to partially revise the Specified Existing-Home Information Provider Group Registration Rules," filed under case number 155260727 [1].

The public comment period runs from 0:00 on November 2, 2026, to 23:59 on December 3, 2026, and the procedure is being carried out under the Administrative Procedure Act [1]. The notice is categorized under "construction, housing" [1].

The notice does not specify what substantive changes the revision would make to the existing registration rules, only identifying the title of the measure and the comment procedure [1].

The notice instructs anyone submitting comments to first check both the "public comment guidelines (including where to submit)" and the full text of the draft measure before submitting an opinion, in order to avoid submission errors [1].

Readers who wish to review the draft revision or submit comments before the December 3, 2026 deadline should consult the official e-Gov listing and the linked PDF materials directly [1].
