Every day, the US federal government enacts impactful policy changes through the executive branch and its agencies. The Brookings Center on Regulation and Markets Regulatory Tracker (Reg Tracker) provides background information and status updates on a curated selection of particularly important regulatory changes.

This tracker enables users to learn more about the background of different rules, discover the impact of potential regulations, and monitor a regulation’s progress through rulemaking. Included are standard rules as well as guidance documents, executive orders, and other actions across ten key policy areas.

While the relaunched Reg Tracker focuses on regulatory changes enacted under President Biden, previous entries tracking regulatory changes during the Trump administration can be accessed through the Trump archives checkbox.
