Federal Register Intelligence Normalizer

Search, normalize, and categorize US Federal Register documents — rules, proposed rules, notices, and executive orders. Built for compliance teams, law firms, policy analysts, and regulatory affairs professionals.

What it does

Pulls structured data from the Federal Register API (free, no key required) and normalizes it into clean, categorized records with:

• Agency normalization — consistent title-case agency names
• Auto-categorization — classifies documents into regulatory categories (Environmental, Healthcare, Financial, Technology, Labor, Energy, Transportation, Agriculture)
• Keyword extraction — identifies compliance-relevant terms (reporting, enforcement, certification, etc.)
• Structured URLs — HTML, PDF, and public inspection links for every document
• Date filtering — search by date range (last 30/90/365 days or custom range)

Use cases

• Compliance monitoring — track new rules and proposed changes in your industry
• Regulatory research — search historical Federal Register actions by keyword, agency, or type
• Legal intelligence — identify upcoming regulatory changes before they take effect
• Policy analysis — categorize and trend regulatory activity across agencies
