Regulations.govOMB Control No. 2025-0008Exchange HomeContact UsHelp

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.

PDF Download

PDF Readers

Submitted by t3st on Thu, 06/17/2010 - 11:09am.

The default reader is Adobe Acrobat reader, but it's a little large. Foxit reader is lighter weight. Just general FYI, if you haven't heard of Foxit, try it out.

statistics are also important for monitoring and updating purposes only.

Visual Person

Submitted by anthonya01 on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 7:48pm.

I am also a very visual person, so seeing information put into graphs really helps me understand the data more clearly.

Hope to see more soon

Submitted by stephiely on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 6:27pm.

It is a great idea that regulations.gov has taken the inititive to improve their site and dashboard. The currect interface is user friendly and quite appealing already. It would be interesting to see what the coming months will bring.

Screen shot

Submitted by lyndas9254 on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 4:30pm.

The page/screenshot is very easy to understand and read. I tend to like more info so more than 5 items for each would be nice. It definately needs the dates and industries would be nice. Overall, works well.

Hi

Submitted by anokhi on Fri, 04/30/2010 - 3:53pm.

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.

Organized

Intutive Navigation

Submitted by 180beats on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 9:36am.

No question, intuitive navigation and "drill down" with the ability to access the information you are after in two, or three, clicks tops is what makes most commercial websites successful. Creating things that are intuitive is a tremendous amount of work - if it is easy to use than it was hard to create.

Great Info!

Submitted by hotboy18 on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 9:30am.

The charts and visual maps are great!

Content Suggestion

Submitted by richewd on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 8:24am.

Showing the amount of comments is great, but maybe you could show which regulations get viewed the most and break it down by month.

John,

Dashboards on Regulations.gov

Submitted by bobsmith on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 4:23am.

I think good presentation of quality data is key for the masses of non-technical people to really understand what is going on. Doing it this way really enhances the usability of any given data.

Maps and Charts

Submitted by atatum on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 4:19am.

Statistics of any form are best presented graphically and would like to see more samples before passing jugdgement but this is certainly a step in the ring direction.

Top 10 instead of top 5

Submitted by leroyb on Tue, 04/06/2010 - 3:19pm.

I would like to see more than just the top 5. It would be nice if the tool allowed you to choose a top 10.

Thanks,

Updates

Submitted by bndr on Tue, 04/06/2010 - 2:53pm.

Hello!

The plan provided above is practically all that there must be, but I think something should be done with the update time.My personal opinion is to update the data weekly if possible, or if that is not possible,then monthly.

Thank you.
