1102tools for Regulations.gov

by 1102tools

Overview

Search federal rulemaking on Regulations.gov: dockets, documents (proposed rules, final rules, notices, and supporting materials), and public comments by agency, keyword, docket, and date. Open a docket, document, or comment for its details and attachment links; list documents open for comment now, soonest deadline first; and trace a FAR or DFARS case from a docket summary through its documents, through nine read-only tools. Agency codes such as FAR, DARS, and GSA are first-class, results report the true match count, and long lists come back a page at a time with the document, docket, and comment IDs to cite and links to the public Regulations.gov pages. Data is public; material withheld from the public docket, such as confidential business information, is not available, and results may be up to 15 minutes old. The service cannot submit comments. This independent 1102tools integration is not a federal agency service and does not alter government records.

Tools

far_case_history

Claude

Get the lifecycle of a FAR/DFARS rulemaking case, summary first. Returns the docket metadata (title, abstract, RIN linking to the Unified Agenda), the docket's total document count, counts by document type and of documents open for comment across the whole docket, and one page of its documents, most recent first, with types, dates, and URLs. When the docket has more documents, truncated=true and next_page_number gives the page that continues the list. page_size: 5-100 documents per page (default 25). page_number: 1-40. docket_id examples: FAR-2023-0008, DARS-2025-0071

get_access_status

Claude

Check Regulations.gov credential presence without returning or validating it.

get_comment_detail

Claude

Get full details for a single comment. Returns the comment text field, organization, submitter info (if public), tracking number, and duplicate comment count. Many comments put their substance in attachments and the text field only says "See attached"; include_attachments=True returns the attachment download URLs. Some fields (firstName, lastName, organization) are agency-configurable and may be hidden.

get_docket_detail

Claude

Get full details for a single docket. Returns title, abstract, RIN (links to Unified Agenda), agency, keywords, and modification date. docket_id format: FAR-2023-0008, DARS-2025-0071, SBA-2024-0002

get_document_detail

Claude

Get full details for a single Regulations.gov document. Returns fileFormats (download URLs), cfrPart, displayProperties, and other detail fields not available in search results. Set include_attachments=True to get attachment objects with download URLs. document_id format: FAR-2023-0008-0023

open_comment_periods

Claude

Find documents with currently open comment periods. Searches for documents where withinCommentPeriod=true, sorted by soonest closing deadline (ascending commentEndDate), so page 1 holds the deadlines you can still act on. Returns document IDs, titles, agencies, comment end dates, docket IDs, and the API-true total_open. When more documents exist, truncated=true and next_page_number gives the page that continues the list (later pages close later). page_size: 5-100 documents per page (default 25). page_number: 1-40. Default searches FAR, DARS, GSA, SBA, OFPP, DOD, NASA, VA in a single comma-joined query. Pass agency_ids to narrow or expand the scope. An empty list is rejected; pass None to use the defaults.

search_comments

Claude

Search public comments on Regulations.gov. To find comments on a specific document, use comment_on_id with the hex objectId from document detail/search results (attributes.objectId, e.g. '0900006486531e6b'). The human-readable documentId is REJECTED here because the API silently returns 0 comments for it. docket_id filters comments to all documents in a docket. Page size: 5-100; page_number 1-40. Comments sorted by '-postedDate' by default. For larger result sets, split the query into posted_date_ge/le windows. Most comment text is in attachments; get_comment_detail with include_attachments=True returns their download URLs.

search_dockets

Claude

Search Regulations.gov dockets. Dockets are containers for related regulatory documents (proposed rules, comments, supporting materials). FAR cases, DFARS cases, and agency rulemaking actions each have a docket. docket_type is CASE-SENSITIVE: 'Rulemaking' or 'Nonrulemaking'. lastModifiedDate format: 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' (space-separated, NOT ISO). This is a Regulations.gov quirk; ISO 8601 is rejected. Limited filters: only searchTerm, agencyId, docketType, lastModifiedDate. Page size: 5-100; page_number 1-40. For larger result sets, split the query into last_modified_date_ge/le windows.

search_documents

Claude

Search Regulations.gov documents (proposed rules, final rules, notices). Filter values are CASE-SENSITIVE. Use exact casing: - document_type: 'Proposed Rule', 'Rule', 'Notice', 'Supporting & Related Material', 'Other' - Lowercase values silently return 0 results (no error) Key parameters: - agency_id: FAR, DARS, GSA, SBA, OFPP, DOD, NASA, VA, etc. Comma-separate for multiple agencies ('FAR,GSA'). Empty string is rejected. - docket_id: e.g., 'FAR-2023-0008' for a specific FAR case - within_comment_period: True to find documents currently accepting comments. False is NOT supported by the API (it 400s); omit the parameter instead to search regardless of comment status. - posted_date_ge/le: YYYY-MM-DD format (calendar-checked) - comment_end_date_ge/le: YYYY-MM-DD format Response meta.facets gives the top counts by document type, agency, and comment period status; meta.totalElements is the full match count. Page size: 5-100. page_number: 1-40. For larger result sets, split the query into posted_date_ge/le windows. sort: '-postedDate' (newest first, default), 'postedDate', '-commentEndDate', 'lastModifiedDate', 'title', 'documentId'. Comma-separate for multi-field sorts ('lastModifiedDate,documentId').
