ANNOUNCEMENT 4
Subject: ALL - PRs. Regulatory Information Service Center. Introduction to the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
[November 11, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 89)]
[Unified Agenda]
Introduction to the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 89 / Monday, May 11, 2009 / Unified
Agenda
REGULATORY INFORMATION SERVICE CENTER
Introduction to the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions
AGENCY: Regulatory Information Service Center.
ACTION: Introduction to the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions.
SUMMARY: The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that agencies publish
semiannual regulatory agendas in the Federal Register describing
regulatory actions they are developing that may have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C.
602). Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' signed
September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51735) and Office of Management and Budget
memoranda implementing section 4 of that Order establish minimum
standards for agencies' agendas, including specific types of
information for each entry.
The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
(Unified Agenda) helps agencies fulfill these requirements. All Federal
regulatory agencies have chosen to publish their regulatory agendas as
part of the Unified Agenda.
Editions of the Unified Agenda prior to fall 2007 were printed in
their entirety in the Federal Register. Beginning with the fall 2007
edition, the Internet is the basic means for conveying Regulatory
Agenda information to the maximum extent legally permissible. The
complete Unified Agenda for spring 2009, which contains the regulatory
agendas for 56 Federal agencies, is available to the public at http://
reginfo.gov.
The spring 2009 Unified Agenda publication appearing in the
Federal Register consists of agency regulatory flexibility agendas, in
accordance with the publication requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. Agency regulatory flexibility agendas contain only
those Agenda entries for rules which are likely to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities and entries
that have been selected for periodic review under section 610 of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
ADDRESSES: Regulatory Information Service Center (MI), General Services
Administration, 1800 F Street NW., Suite 3039, Washington, DC 20405.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information about specific
regulatory actions, please refer to the agency contact listed for each
entry.
