The Regulatory Plan and Semi-Annual Unified Agenda
The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory
Actions (also known as the semi-annual regulatory agenda) is
published in the spring and fall of each year. Since 1978,
Federal agencies have been required by Executive orders (Executive Order (EO) 12866 "Regulatory Planning and
Review" (58 FR 51735; Oct 4, 1993) to publish
agendas of regulatory and deregulatory activities. The
Regulatory Plan, which is published as part of the fall
edition of the Agenda, identifies regulatory priorities and
contains additional detail about the most important
significant regulatory actions that agencies expect to take
in the coming year.
