The regulatory desk your GC doesn’t have

Hundreds of notices hit the Federal Register every week. Somewhere in there are the three that affect your business. Miss the comment period on the wrong one and you’re arguing with a final rule instead of a proposal.

This watches for you.

What it does

Watches the Federal Register and the agency dockets you care about (EPA, FDA, FCC, OSHA, FTC, HHS — name them).
Reads every notice, NPRM, and final rule as it publishes.
Filters by CFR section, agency, or keyword — the taxonomy your compliance team already works in.
Writes a short brief on each hit: what’s being proposed, what changes, when comments close, and the section of the rule to read first.
Calendars the comment deadlines for your team automatically.

The reveal

Thursday morning: your compliance lead opens their inbox to find three briefs — two NPRMs in your CFR sections, one guidance withdrawal — with comment deadlines already flagged on their calendar. Last week’s “did we miss anything?” meeting doesn’t need to happen.

What it doesn’t do

No legal advice. No position on whether your team should comment. No auto-filing anything. It tells you what’s published and what changed; your team decides what to do about it.

Configuration

Agencies and dockets: which regulators and docket numbers matter.
CFR sections: the parts of the code your work touches.
Keyword triggers: terms that should always flag regardless of section.
Delivery: which team members get the brief and how often.
