This log records every data change detected between scrape runs (four times per day). Each row is one field that changed on one rule — showing when it was detected, which rule was affected, what data field changed, and the before/after values. For date fields the Days Shifted column shows how many days the date moved: positive = pushed out, negative = moved earlier.

About This Tool
The NRC Rulemaking Tracker was created to help the public, industry stakeholders, and policymakers stay informed as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission considers a large volume of active rulemakings. The tracker reflects the full list of NRC active rulemakings, including each rule's current phase, next expected action date, and a plain-language description of its scope — updated automatically multiple times per day. Visitors can filter by phase or keyword, sort by upcoming deadlines, and click through to the NRC's official rulemaking page for detailed dockets. Opportunities to submit public comments are highlighted and linked to the docket and supporting documents. Snapshots of the tracker can be downloaded.
How change detection works
Every scrape compares the newly fetched data for each rule to the previous snapshot. Any field that changes is recorded in the Changes log. For date fields, a shift indicator in the Next Expected Action column shows how many days the date moved: positive = pushed out (red); negative = moved earlier (green).
