Read the Federal Register on your Kindle

New rules and notices in your area, as a morning briefing instead of a website you keep meaning to check.

Set this up Free for 14 days.

Why on a schedule

Every rule, proposed rule and notice a US agency publishes lands in the Federal Register, and the people who need to read it are the people least able to sit refreshing a government website. Compliance officers, policy teams and the lawyers advising them mostly find out late, from someone else, about something that was published days ago.

A saved search delivered on a weekday morning turns that into a briefing: the documents that touch your area, with the agency, the docket and the summary, waiting before the day starts. It is the same reading either way — the difference is whether it reaches you or you have to go and get it.

What arrives

Title, publishing agency, document type and the official summary for each document, with a link to the full text on federalregister.gov.
