D.C. Circuit Court changes the clock on regulations

Published: July 26, 2022, 9:30 a.m.

On Friday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that regulations become \u201cfinal\u201d actions once they are made available for \u201cpublic inspection\u201d in the Federal Register \u2013 not the date of actual publication. That decision could impact future rulemakings from presidents and agencies, and put progressives in the unusual position of agreeing with former President Donald Trump\u2019s regulation czar.
