The Federal Register is a daily journal of federal government activity that includes presidential documents, proposed and final rules, and public notices. It is a common measure of the overall regulatory activity of an administration, taking into account both regulatory and deregulation actions.

From September 13 to 17, the Federal Register has grown by 1,234 pages for a total of 52,070 pages since the beginning of the year.

The Federal Register reached an all-time high of 95,894 pages in 2016.

This week Federal Register presented the following 576 documents:

458 Reviews
13 presidential documents
46 proposed rules
59 final rules

Six proposed rules, including a US Fish and Wildlife Service call for papers regarding permission to accidentally catch eagles, and eight final rules, including a court-ordered deferral of a Food and Drug rule Administration regarding warnings on tobacco products, were considered important under EO 12866 – defined by the potential to have significant impacts on the economy, the environment, public health or state governments or local. Important actions can also conflict with presidential priorities or other agency rules. The Biden administration released 58 important proposed rules, 63 important final rules, and one important notice as of September 17.

Ballotpedia keeps the number of pages and other information about the Federal Register as part of its administrative state project. The project is a neutral, non-partisan encyclopedic resource that defines and analyzes the administrative state, including its philosophical origins, legal and judicial precedents, and scientific reviews of its consequences. The project also monitors and reports on measures of federal government activity.
