Rules that are published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress after the lookback day are made available for review in the subsequent session of Congress.
Due to the retrospective calculation of the window, lookback window dates prior to Congress adjourning are inherently estimates.
The lookback date could fall as early as [August 1, 2024](https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12408). Lookback dates for recent Congresses have fallen in mid-August.
This dashboard allows users to explore how different lookback window dates would affect the set of rules available for congressional review.
"Section 3(f)(1) significant" rules are regulations that meet the criteria in Section 3(f)(1) of [Executive Order 12866](https://www.archives.gov/files/federal-register/executive-orders/pdf/12866.pdf), as amended by [Executive Order 14094](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-04-11/pdf/2023-07760.pdf), referring to those with an estimated annual effect on the economy of $200 million or more.
"Other significant" rules are regulations that meet the other criteria in Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094, such as those creating inconsistency with other agencies' actions, altering certain budgetary impacts, or raising legal or policy issues pertaining to the president's priorities.
Rule data are retrieved daily from the [Federal Register API](https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/documentation/api/v1), which publishes new editions of the Federal Register each business day.
