The Unified Agenda, which is generally published twice a year, is a government-wide publication of rulemaking actions that agencies expect to take in the coming 12 months. The Unified Agenda lists upcoming regulatory actions (i.e., new proposed and final regulations) and deregulatory actions (i.e., reductions in or elimination of current regulations). The Unified Agenda provides Congress and the public transparency into federal agencies' upcoming rulemaking activities-which can be particularly useful given that most regulatory activities are not made public until they are published in the Federal Register. In addition, the Unified Agenda may be especially informative during presidential election years in the context of the Congressional Review Act (CRA). As discussed briefly below, the CRA contains a lookback mechanism that allows a new Congress and administration to overturn rules issued in the final months of an outgoing administration. The Unified Agenda's list of upcoming rules and projected completion dates can provide some information about upcoming rules that could potentially be subject to this lookback mechanism in 2021. Overview of the Unified Agenda The Unified Agenda lists upcoming regulatory activities, by agency, in three separate categories: * active actions, including rules in the prerule stage (which includes advance notices of proposed rulemaking and some reviews of existing regulations that agencies may take action on in the next 12 months), proposed rule stage (i.e., notices of proposed rulemaking that are expected to be issued in the next 12 months or for which the closing date of the comment period is the next step), andfinal rule stage (i.e., final rules or other final actions such as interim final rules that are expected to be issued in the next 12 months); * completed actions (i.e., final rules or other actions that have been withdrawn since the last edition of the Unified Agenda); and Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN11451 CF'S NStGHT Prepai-ed for Mernbei-s and Committees o.i C- --q .. . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . ..-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
