Background
This Report provides a summary and the status for all significant regulations at the Department of Transportation (DOT). DOT intends to update the Report at least once a month. The Report contains information on all significant regulations that DOT currently plans to develop or has issued recently. This information is not intended to commit DOT to specific conclusions or actions. For example, after further analysis, DOT may decide the effects of the rule would be different or it may decide to terminate the rulemaking.

DOT is providing this information as way to inform members of the public regarding its regulatory activities. This information can be used in conjunction with a number of tools already available to the public. For instance, DOT's Docket Management System electronically stores all DOT issued documents and public comments regarding a articular rulemaking. Using the RINs provided in the Report, you can locate the docket for a particular rulemaking, if one has been opened. In addition, the RIN will also allow you to sign up for DOT's List Serve. The List Serve will provide email notice to users whenever a substantive DOT document is placed in a particular docket and you can subscribe to the List Serve by using the RIN even if a public docket has not been created yet.

Questions
If you have substantive questions regarding a particular rulemaking (or you want to review information on DOT's nonsignificant rulemakings), you may contact the responsible office directly by looking up the regulation in the DOT regulatory agenda and obtaining the contact information for the responsible office.
