Sometime yesterday the OMB’s RegInfo.gov web site started having problems similar to the one I reported on August 19th and then reported as corrected on Tuesday. Once again, the site’s search function is not reporting rulemaking or information collection requests submitted to OMBs Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), or OIRA final action on such submissions, after August 1st, 2025; older data appears to be fine. Other functions of the site appear to be functioning normally. There is currently no indication on the site that OIRA is aware of, or is taking action to fix, the problem.
I use this site almost daily to report on the behind-the-scenes processing of rulemakings, and to help identify problematic ICRs that may be covered in this blog.
I am beginning to wonder if there are OMB IT staffing issues (or other DOGE related issues) at play here. Beyond the periodic shutdowns of the site (typically on weekends) for routine maintenance, I do not recall this type of problem occurring in the years that I have been following the site.UPDATE 22:00 EDT 9-4-25
RegInfo.com is once again working as advertised. Ten new
rulemakings were submitted, 2 rulemakings were approved, and 26 ICRs were
approved since last Friday. None of these were of specific interest here.
