The eRulemaking Program has launched a significant upgrade
to the EPA's website that provides public access to information related to
current and forthcoming regulations issued by the federal government.
Enhancements to regulations.gov include improved search capabilities, new
navigation tools, and easier access to areas for the public to provide comments
on proposed regulations, the agency announced Monday, Aug. 3, 2009. The EPA is
the managing partner of the inter-agency eRulemaking Program, which operates
regulations.gov.
Visitors to regulations.gov can now streamline search results with date ranges, select specific U.S. government departments or agencies, and view results by docket or file folder. Other changes include interactive icons and links to common user tasks that pre-populate search fields to help users find regulations and comments. The website also provides quick access, simplified navigation and additional information sharing, such as social bookmarking and RSS feeds by specific government departments or agencies.
These enhancements were previewed publicly on Regulations.gov Exchange, an online forum featured in the White House Open Government Initiative. From May 21 to July 21, 2009, the public was able to explore proposed new designs and features, provide comments, and engage with other site visitors and the eRulemaking Program staff.
