Who it is for
Why do compliance teams keep missing regulatory changes?
The problem is simple to describe and hard to live with.
Many compliance teams cope by checking by hand, forwarding links, or relying on whoever happens to notice.
FedRegTracker is built for that gap.
The problem is simple to describe and hard to live with. The Federal Register is where federal agencies publish new rules, proposed rules and notices. It is a steady stream, and the item that matters to your work may be one entry among many on a given day.
Many compliance teams cope by checking by hand, forwarding links, or relying on whoever happens to notice. That works until a busy week arrives. A proposed rule goes by, the comment period closes, and the first time anyone hears about it is when it is already final.
FedRegTracker is built for that gap. It is a free tracker for people who need to know when the Federal Register publishes something on their subject: compliance officers, in-house counsel, policy staff, consultants and small business owners who handle their own paperwork. You pick the topics, and the alert comes to you instead of you hunting for it.
One boundary matters. FedRegTracker reports what was published. It does not tell you what a rule means for your company, and it does not offer legal advice. That judgment stays with you and your advisers.
Use cases
4 ways people use How compliance teams can watch for changes.
- Comment deadlinesComment deadlines
1. Catching a proposed rule before the comment window closes
Situation: your team works on environmental reporting. An agency publishes a proposed rule on your topic, and the public comment period is short. Nobody on the team reads the Register daily.
What the alert tells you: a new proposed rule has appeared on your topic, when comments close, and where to read it. For example, the alert might say the EPA has published a proposed rule and comments close Dec 15, with a summary and a Federal Register link.
What you do next: open the link, read the proposal, and decide whether to file a comment. Because you heard early, you have time to ask for input from your colleagues instead of scrambling at the deadline.
- New rulesNew rules
2. Spotting a new final rule that changes your obligations
Situation: a rule on a topic you follow is published in final form. Your policies may need a review, and you want the whole team to see the same source.
What the alert tells you: that a new rule has been published on your topic, with a short summary and the Federal Register link. For example, a rule on recordkeeping could show up the day it is published.
What you do next: open the link, read the actual text, and share it with the person who owns the policy. The alert gets you to the source quickly. Reading it and deciding what to change is still your team's work.
- Quiet noticesQuiet notices
3. Keeping an eye on notices that are easy to overlook
Situation: not everything important is a headline rule. Notices can matter too, and they are the kind of entry people skim past when the day is busy.
What the alert tells you: when a notice appears on a topic you chose, you get it with a summary and a link, whether or not anyone else on your team spotted it.
What you do next: skim the summary, decide if it is relevant, and either file it for reference or pass it to the right colleague. A short alert on your phone is a lighter habit than a daily manual search.
- Ask your AIAsk your AI
4. Asking your own AI about what was published
Situation: you already use a personal AI, such as Instinct or Muse, and would rather keep regulatory updates in the same place as everything else.
FedRegTracker also offers an MCP connection for AI assistants, described on its own site. Once connected, your assistant can receive the alerts and you can ask follow-up questions in plain language, like which items are most recent.
What you do next: use the answer as a pointer to the source. Always check the linked Federal Register entry before relying on any summary.
