Federal Regulations: Dockets

FiscalNote's Federal Regulations gives you access to all dockets or docket folders published to the Federal Register since 1900. You can access them from a Document page or through our Search capabilities. You can also save Dockets to Issues to receive email notifications on any changes to the rule and its comment periods.

On the Docket page, you can:

• View basic information 
  • Title, description, agency, docket ID & RIN number 
  • Federalism implications, legal authorities, CRF citations and more!
  • Agency contact information
  • Links to authorizing legislation
• Read all published documents (both primary and supporting documents)
  • Link to comment on regulations.gov if the comment period is open
• Read all published comments and view analytics
• View a timeline of actions and deadlines
• Add actions and notes
• Add the Docket to a Watchlist
• Share the Docket

Access Dockets through Documents

If a published document is linked to a docket, you can access the docket from both the preview panel and the Documents tab on the docket page.
