Every active federal rulemaking docket where public comments are accepted at regulations.gov — the official portal for citizen, corporate, and NGO participation in federal regulation development. Each docket aggregates the proposed rule, supporting documents, and ALL public comments submitted during the comment period. Coverage spans FAA (airworthiness directives, airspace), EPA (environmental rules), USCG (vessel safety), NOAA (fisheries), FMCSA/PHMSA/NHTSA (transportation), CMS (Medicare/Medicaid), FDA (drug/device), IRS (tax), NRC (nuclear), ATF (firearms), OSHA (workplace safety), NCUA (credit union), and 40+ more agencies. This is the most valuable source for tracking corporate lobbying via public-comment submissions — pharmaceutical companies, defense contractors, environmental groups, trade associations all file comments here on rules that affect them.
