A staple of the American Action Forum (AAF) has been its commitment to tracking and analyzing the federal regulatory state. This effort includes annual analyses of the spring and fall Unified Agendas, specific analyses of topics such as the Trump Administration’s approach to regulatory budgets, and a regular update of all topics in the Week in Regulation.

At the core of these efforts is the Regulation Rodeo (aka RegRodeo) database, launched in 2015, which provides information on federal regulations going back to 2005. It tracks every proposed and final rule published in the Federal Register that includes a quantified economic impact or paperwork burden estimate.

Over time, however, the original database and interface have become dated and the functionality limited, especially when compared to more modern software. Thus, AAF is proud to present a new and updated RegRodeo featuring clearer graphics and an improved layout. These improvements, along with an updated, more intuitive user interface, make it much easier to navigate the site and explore the data.

In this day and age, a lot of research is shared not via white paper, but via Instagram post, X post, and the like. Accordingly, RegRodeo now has enhanced ability to share findings across social media platforms. Should you want to do a more detailed statistical or other analysis, you can now export selected sets of regulatory cost/savings data.

Finally, there are direct links to additional AAF material on regulatory policy matters such as the Congressional Review Act.

Welcome to the new RegRodeo. Take it for a spin!
