In the current release of Regulations.gov, we've included a preview of summary statistics and a graphic of site content for 2009. This is the first of many forthcoming dashboard and graphic tools intended to make information from Regulations.gov more accessible and useful. So, here’s our plan:
- Include more types of summary data
- Dynamically generate summary data and display in real-time
- Highlight effective dates and impacted industries
- Display geographic areas identified or affected by regulatory actions
There are various challenges to expanding these types of tools particularly in the completeness of the source data, but we think there are benefits.
What other types of summary data would you find useful? Tell us what you think.

Translation tools?
We're currently exploring language translation tools for our site. Because we have not yet added this feature, you should consider using such tools provided by other sites, requiring the user to identify the desired language, and then copy and paste the text to be translated. Of course, the translation accuracy will vary across these sites.
Sample
Kindly give us other samples of summary data.

Everything at a glance!
I like this layout. Makes it very easy to get a quick overview. Thanks for making it better.
demos
I personally believe that any demographic related information is always going to be the most helpful. Any improvements based on that will keep me happy
New Data Format
As a business owner, the real time data format will be very helpful. The graphs make for quick reading, especially if you're in a hurry, like most of us are.
Thanks.

Dashboard Graphics
I think this works well.
New release is easier and faster
Thank you for the updates, it is definitely easier to browse through now. The graphs are faster to understand than percentage layouts.
informative
Thanks to share such a nice graphics
geographic
I think the geographical areas affected by regulatory actions is a GREAT idea. Also if there was an interactive map of the US for each state with "mouseover" function that would include the details for each state, then click for full details, etc.
Interesting
Congragulations as this well laid out graphics definitely make it easier to understand the flow of data being represented especially in real-time
Graph layout
The format and layout of the graph is just as user-friendly as it should be; Nothing worse than complex, eye candy that takes the viewer away from the intended message.
great graphs
I really love the charts and graphs. Though i would like to see them a little clearer.
great work
thanks for all the information. great stuff.
I'm A Fan
I like this format- easy to get the info at a glance. I wish Congress got info this readable.

I'm a Fan +1
Yes, definitely easier to browse through now. The graphs are much clearer now than before .
Sign me up!
This is a good way to get information. Perhaps Congress should get things this plain and simple.

Dashboards
Graphically, users may see the high-level processes and then drill down into low level data. This level of detail is often buried deep within the corporate enterprise and otherwise unavailable to the senior executives.
Thanks

Appreciative
Thanks for all the updating info. The recent changes have made the site much more user friendly and the graphs, in particular, are really great!
informative
Great work! The dashboards are really helpful. It's so much easier and quicker to process data with graphical representations.
Looks Great!
Very nice layout and color scheme. Just the right balance of graphics and text.
Very Clean!
This is a great example of a well rounded site. It's very clean and non-flashy which makes it easy on the eyes.
Looks great
This looks great, the pie chart is the right size and adds a nice 'visual' touch to the page.
Great comments
Engaging discussion. I think the site looks great too and appreciate the forthcoming improvements.
Visual is best
As research shows that the majority of people receive information best in visual form, presentation of info in graphic form would communicate best to the largest number of people.
Graphics VS. Text
I'm more of a visual person, but I think you should have a mixture of even graphics and text over the layout of the dashboards and site.
Amazing Job!
You have made a very good job on this but I agree with aarona.
I Like the New Site
I like the graphics and the organization. It is much better to understand - of course I am more of a visual person. I also like the RSS feeds.
Ineresting Site Enhancement
Dashboards are excellent tools to provide summary reports and help users quickly observe site content.
Interesting
Well, I think showing trends is important. Other than that I would like to just see more detail.
Thanks,
New presentation
Congratulations and kudos on the new site format. The well laid out graphics definitely make it easier to understand the flow of data being represented especially in real-time.
Thankful
Thanks for keeping us up to date on all of your new changes. I also think that it is wonderful that you want recommendations from actual people.
Editable PDF's
I think this site has all the best elements of web 2.0 downloadable (editable this is a pain with most pdf's) forms would be great.
Kind Regards

PDF's
I think printable PDF's would be great. Maybe even an RSS feed directory with useful information for businesses like my business.
RSS feeds would be a very good idea!
Hi,
I agree with this - RSS would be great feature to allow us to keep up dated within our own mail clients / readers whatever.
I had no idea that there were so many changes in regulations every year!
really love the graphs
I really love the graphs. A visual representation of things is always the best way to go. People always seem more comfortable with graphs.
Great looking and accessible
Looks great. Hopefully one can drill down from the graph to the relevant regulations.
Regulations
Regulations are only good if they are good for all of the people and businesses that are affected by them.
Sports
Thank u for info..
Very Nice
The graph is really nice. Really like the dashboards in combination with the graphics. As a small business owner I look forward to using this site. Thanks for your hard work.
analytics
I really like the analytics data, it looks very snazzy!
Analytics
I always appreciate the analytics the more details the better for me and my small business.
Visual Is Better
Visual in pdf for me is much better so as I ever prefer visualization to remember more information. Thanks!
Well organized.
The graphs are certainly one of the better features. Thanks for the work you've put into it. I too am curious about how to find the regional.
Graphs are great but...
I like the graphs but...more is better.
Thanks,

•Display geographic areas affected by regulatory authority.
Different regulations over different boundaries. This new feature will save a lot of confusion.
