RIN A Regulatory Information Number (RIN) must be requested for each new regulation under development. RISC uses this number to track regulations in the Unified Agenda. The same RIN is used at every stage of the rulemaking proceeding. Tip: Enter a full or partial RIN. RINs are formatted NNNN-AANN, where the NNNN is the agency/subagency code, and AANN is a combination of letters and numbers uniquely identifying the RIN within the agency/subagency's rulemakings.

Stage of Rulemaking There are five Agenda stages of rulemaking (i.e., Prerule, Proposed Rule, Final Rule, Long-Term Actions, Completed Actions). Prerule Stage -- actions agencies will undertake to determine whether or how to initiate rulemaking. Such actions occur prior to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and may include an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) or a review of existing regulations. Proposed Rule Stage -- actions for which agencies plan to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking as the next step in their rulemaking process or for which the closing date of the NPRM Comment Period is the next step. Final Rule Stage -- actions for which agencies plan to publish a final rule or an interim final rule or to take other final action as the next step. Long-Term Actions -- items under development but for which the agency does not expect to have a regulatory action within the 12 months after publication of this edition of the Unified Agenda. Completed Actions -- actions or reviews the agency has completed or withdrawn since publishing its last agenda.

Major ROCIS allows you to search for rules considered "Major" under 5 U.S.C. 801 (Pub. L. 104-121). Select "Yes" to include rules considered Major. Select "No" for rules that are not Major. Yes No
Federalism Implications This term refers to actions "that have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government." The selection "Undetermined" is permissible if the action is at the prerule or proposed rule stage. By the final rule stage, the agency should have made a determination. If the agency is reporting that it has completed an entry by taking some regulatory action (i.e., not withdrawing it), then a determination must be indicated. (Independent regulatory agencies are not required to answer this question.) Yes No Undetermined
Related To Homeland Security Yes No Undetermined
