Who it is for
Why do rules that affect my industry keep catching me by surprise?
Here is the problem.
So people find out late.
FedRegTracker is built for that gap.
Here is the problem. The Federal Register is where federal agencies publish new rules, proposed rules and notices. It is public, but it is large, and the entries are written for lawyers and agency staff. If you run a small business, work in compliance, or manage a trade group, nobody sends you a heads-up when something relevant appears.
So people find out late. A customer mentions it, a trade newsletter covers it weeks later, or you notice that the window to comment has already closed. A proposed rule is the moment you can still weigh in, and it is also the moment most easily missed.
FedRegTracker is built for that gap. It follows new Federal Register rules, proposed rules and notices on the topics you pick, and it alerts you when one shows up. It suits owners, compliance staff, advocates, students and anyone who needs to stay informed about a field without reading the Register every morning.
Use cases

1. You want to comment on a proposed rule before it closes
Situation: you run a small business and a federal agency is proposing a change that could touch how you operate. Proposed rules usually come with a comment period, and that period is short.
What the alert tells you: a new proposed rule matched your topic, which agency issued it, and when comments close, with a summary and a link to the Federal Register entry.
What you do next: open the link, read the actual text, and decide whether to submit a comment, forward it to your team, or ask an adviser what it means for you.
- Compliance watchCompliance watch
2. You are the person who has to flag changes at work
Situation: you are responsible for compliance, and your manager expects you to know when the rules in your area change. Checking the Register by hand is easy to put off.
What the alert tells you: a new rule or notice was published on a topic you chose, with a short summary and a source link.
What you do next: skim the summary, open the entry if it looks relevant, and pass it to the right people. FedRegTracker reports what was published. It does not tell you what the rule means legally, so that part stays with you or your counsel.
- Advocacy trackingAdvocacy tracking
3. You track a field for a group or a cause
Situation: you represent members of a trade association, a nonprofit or a community group, and they rely on you to spot proposals that affect them.
What the alert tells you: a new notice appeared on your topic, with the agency, a summary and the Federal Register link.
What you do next: decide whether to share it with members, draft a response, or watch for follow-up notices. Having the link in the alert means you can cite the primary source.

4. You want your AI to keep an eye on this for you
