Active Regulatory Projects
The Unified Agenda (UA), is published every spring and fall and provides uniform reporting of data on regulatory and deregulatory activities under development throughout the Federal Government. The Unified Agenda covers approximately 60 departments, agencies, and commissions. Each edition of the Unified Agenda includes regulatory agendas from all Federal entities that currently have regulations under development or review. Below is a list of the Coast Guard's most current regulatory projects originating from the Fall 2011 Unified Agenda. To view the complete list of Coast Guard regulatory projects which include Long-term and Completed Action agenda information, Click Here and advance to page 6. To view a project's description, history and timetables click on the Regulatory Identifier Number (RIN) hyperlink corresponding to each title.
You can also find the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Agency Rule List by clicking here, which sends you to Reginfo.gov where you can find a dashboard of regulatory projects across the federal government; or you can visit the Coast Guard's Federal Register and GPOAccess websites.
