This site is an alternative interface to the federal government's Regulations.gov site. The aim is to present a simplified and easy-to-use index of federal register notices, including notices of proposed rulemaking. Offers an individual RSS feed for each federal agency.
Researchers can find federal proposed and final rules and submit comments through the Web site to the agencies on proposed rules that are open for public comment. Users can also find other types of documents open for public comment, such as agency significant guidance.
