Unified Agenda and Regulatory Plan

The Unified Agenda (also known as the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda) is published twice a year in the Federal Register in accordance with Public Law 96-354, “The Regulatory Flexibility Act,” and Executive Order 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review.” Our portion of the Unified Agenda is a compilation of all rulemaking activities that we have recently completed action or have proposed or are considering action.

The Regulatory Plan is published as part of the fall edition of the Unified Agenda. Our Regulatory Plan contains information on some of our most important regulatory actions that we are considering issuing in proposed or final form during the coming Fiscal Year.
