Federal Register Rules, Proposed Rules and more - http://regulations.justia.com

Hi all,

Here is another free information project with lots of RSS feeds, and 
this one has full text search. The URL is:

http://regulations.justia.com


FEDERAL REGISTER REGULATIONS AND NOTICES
We have setup a database of new Federal Register rules and notices. 
Every night/early morning the government issues a new Federal 
Register index containing a list of all of the Rules, Proposed Rules 
and Notices of the US Government Agencies, as well as Presidential 
Proclamations, Executive Orders and Administrative Orders. This is a 
great service. One thing that would be nice to change is to not have 
all of the agencies in one document  - eg. if you are an 
environmental lawyer, do you really want to see the Social Security 
Administration notices? From that came this project.


BROKEN DOWN BY AGENCY/SUBAGENCY
      & RULES/NOTICES - DOCUMENT TYPE
We have taken the daily Federal Register and broken it down by Agency 
and Sub Agency and then by the document type - Rules, Proposed Rules, 
Proclamations, Executive Orders, Administrative Orders and Notices. 
You can browse the pages by Agency and filter the listings by 
document type to see those that interest you.


RSS FEEDS
We then setup RSS feeds to allow one to subscribe by RSS to just 
documents for the agency they want to see.

For example, suppose you are interested in updates on the 
Environmental Protection Agency Rules, but do not really care to see 
the Notices and Proposed Rules, not to mention the rules and other 
notices of the 100+ other agencies that are included in the Federal 
Register. Well the way we have it setup, so you can subscribe to an 
RSS feed to just the EPA Rules.

It is pretty flexible on an agency basis. If you want EPA Rules and 
Proposed Rules, but not Notices, you can subscribe to both of those 
in one feed.

You can also view or subscribe to feeds for a larger Agency, such as 
the Department of Justice as a whole (which would inlcude the 
documents for all of its subagencies), or to just the subagencies of 
the department, such as the Antitrust Division of the DOJ.


FULL TEXT SEARCH - AND RSS
And it gets a little bit better. We have created a full text index of 
all of the Federal Register documents since January 1, 2005, and 
update that daily as well. You can search the full text of the 
registrar and have it limited to documents in a particular Agency or 
Sub Agency,  as well as limit by document type. Thus you could do a 
full text search of just the FCC documents or even just the FCC Rules.

You can also limit the date range of a full text search and searches 
can be ordered by both relevancy and date.

And you can add the full text search as a term in your RSS feed. So 
if you wanted, you could subscribe to just FCC Rules that also 
contain word Television in the full text of the document, you could 
do that.


TEXT & PDF DOCUMENTS
There are links to both a marked up text version and the PDF version 
(supplied by the government) of each regulation in the listings and 
search result pages.



MORE TO DO...
We still have more work to do, especially in integrating secondary 
materials and making some additional user interface changes. But it 
seems pretty good for an initial beta.

As always comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Peace,

Tim





And we have updated the dockets database (http://dockets.justia.com). 
It is much better, as we are now checking every Federal Court 
multiple times a day, and much much faster (see  -

the judges as well, possibly for beta 3.
