Method
Source: the Federal Register API (Office of the Federal Register, National Archives), every document since January 2024 with its type, agencies, publication date, effective date, comment deadline, dockets and CFR parts. One record per agency and publication day holds that day's documents; a document listed under two agencies counts for both, as the Register itself lists it. Counts are of documents, not pages. Links go to the official document on federalregister.gov. Updated daily after publication.
