The Regulatory Plan and Semi-Annual Unified Agenda
The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions 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.
