Unified Agenda

This list includes regulations SSA would like to propose. Before they can be published in the Federal Register, they need to be cleared by the Office of Management and Budget. Some rules appear on the Unified Agenda for many years before a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is published and the comment period begins. The list also includes regulations that have gone through notice and comment and need OMB clearance before the final rule can be published in the Federal Register. Like the rules awaiting proposal, rules awaiting finalization can be at OMB for months or years; some are never finalized at all.
