What it returns
Every federal rule in the pipeline, one row per Regulation Identifier Number (RIN), joining three official sources:
| Source | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (reginfo.gov, each spring and fall edition since 2023) | agency, department, title, abstract, stage, priority, major, projected timetable (next action and month), CFR parts, legal authority and statutory deadlines, the edition that first listed it |
| OIRA review under Executive Order 12866 (reginfo.gov) | every White House review: received and concluded dates, decision, stage reviewed, economically significant |
| Federal Register (federalregister.gov) | proposed and final rules carrying the RIN: document number, date, comment close date, effective date, docket ids, link |
About 8,000 RINs. Refreshed weekly. The Federal Register document numbers match the Federal Register API, so a public-inspection copy, its published document and the rule's agenda entry can be joined.
