Federal rulemaking, both ends

A proposed rule names the day its comment period closes. The public writes in. Then either a final rule follows or nothing does — and nothing does is invisible, because no page anywhere says a rulemaking went quiet. This page holds both ends: 406 dated commitments that have not come due yet, and 976 older proposals whose comment period closed and produced nothing.

406 still ahead976 went quiet4,943 proposals joined

Still open 16

Comment periods still running on rules the Federal Register itself marked significant, read on 2026-09-19. Significance is the government’s own flag, not this desk’s judgement: the other 169 open periods are mostly state implementation plans and routine approvals, and all of them are still in the artifact. Each row below carries the agency’s own submission link, so the countdown ends somewhere a reader can actually write.

A count here is the number of comments regulations.gov held against that Federal Register document when the Register last asked — not a live figure, and not the whole docket. A notice that reopens an older rulemaking carries only its own comments, and the readings are not all from the same day, so each row prints how old its count is.

The spread is the finding. 219,262 comments have been filed on Special Areas; Roadless Area Conservation. 2 have been filed on Employment in the Excepted Service. Both counts were read on the same day, both rules are open, both are significant by the same standard, and only one of them has anyone in the room.

Across all 185 open periods, 20 carry no submission link in the Register at all. Those are invitations with no address on them, and this desk will not guess a URL to fill the gap.

What this counts

Proposed rules published between 2023-01-01 and 2025-08-27, joined to final rules by regulation identifier or docket, with final rules searched through 2026-09-19 — past the end of the proposal window, because a rule proposed late may be finalised afterwards and counting it as abandoned would be an artefact of the arithmetic.

  1. Proposed rules in window4,943
  2. Comment period has closed4,375
  3. Closed, and no final rule followed976

    173 proposals carry neither a regulation identifier nor a docket, and are excluded rather than assumed either way.

What has not come due yet 406

Read from the Federal Register on 2026-09-19: 185 proposed rules whose comment period is still open, and 221 final rules that are published and do not bind yet — across 84 agencies. These are not predictions. Each one is a date an agency has already published, and each is checkable on the day by re-reading one document.

5 of them carry neither a regulation identifier nor a docket. Those are the ones this desk will not be able to follow up on, and they are counted here rather than discovered missing a year from now.

By the term the proposal was published in

Raw per-term counts are not comparable: a rule proposed in 2025 has had one year to reach a final rule and one proposed in 2021 has had five, so a later term will always look worse. The figure below is the matched one — of proposals whose comment period closed at least 365 days ago, the share that never produced a final rule. It is a fact about publication dates, not an attribution: a rulemaking proposed under one administration is usually finished, or abandoned, under the next.

  1. Term beginning 2021-01-2022.4%

    777 of 3462 proposals whose comment period closed at least a year ago never produced a final rule. 3980 proposals fall in this term overall.

  2. Term beginning 2025-01-2021.6%

    160 of 742 proposals whose comment period closed at least a year ago never produced a final rule. 963 proposals fall in this term overall.

How this was measured

Source
The Federal Register API, the government’s own publication of record. No secondary reporting is used.
Last run
What it cannot show
A rulemaking finalised under a different identifier reads here as silence. And silence is not itself wrongdoing — agencies drop proposals for good reasons, and the Federal Register does not publish the reason. This counts the gap; it does not explain it.
Whether it can fail
Yes. If every proposal in the window had been finalised or withdrawn, this page would print zero rows, and that would be the finding.

The provider deadline board applies the same instrument to vendors.
