An organization of public government data, not an official U.S. government site. Counts and amounts are over collected data.

What the data shows
Agencies that issue more Federal Register documents tend to regulate industry and daily life more granularly. Viewing rulemaking activity alongside contract spending shows how each agency moves on both rules and budget.
