The 2026 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, which lists regulatory actions that federal agencies expect to undertake in the next 12 months, has been published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2026. It was previously posted on the Office of Management and Budget and U.S. General Services Administration’s website on July 3, 2026. The Federal Register version includes agencies’ regulatory flexibility agendas, which identify rules expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, as required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (see, for example, HHS’s regulatory flexibility agenda). It also contains an introduction highlighting selected rulemakings that reflect agency regulatory priorities.

For the most comprehensive and user-friendly listing of planned regulatory actions, we recommend using the 2026 Regulatory Plan and Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions that is posted online at Reginfo.gov. This version is searchable by agency and encompasses the full set of planned regulatory actions for each agency, as opposed to the Federal Register publication which is limited to just a subset of those rulemakings.
