Federal Register Full Backfill — every published rule, proposed rule, notice, presidential document since 2020

Dataset · Office of the Federal Register (NARA / GPO) · primary source ↗

Every document published in the Federal Register from January 2020 onward — Rules, Proposed Rules, Notices, and Presidential Documents (including every Executive Order). Target ~360k records across 6 years. Per document: document number (e.g. '2024-12345'), type + subtype, title, abstract, publication date, effective date, signing date (for EOs), executive order number, agencies involved (JSON array of slugs), citation (e.g. '91 FR 12345'), volume + page range, PDF/HTML/JSON URLs, topics. The Federal Register is the definitive record of US federal rulemaking — this lets you ask 'what rules has EPA proposed in the last 30 days?' or 'every executive order on critical minerals' in one query.
