I live and work inside the Beltway, which skews my perspective on many matters. I am always interested to read the Federal Government’s semi-annual regulatory agenda or unified agenda. The Semiannual Regulatory Agenda is, of course, published twice a year (usually in April and October) in the Federal Register, and it summarizes the rules and proposed rules that each Federal agency expects to issue during the next six months.

The most recent sem-annual regulatory agenda was published on Monday April 24, 2006. The agenda included no noteworthy FEHBP or Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) developments. The agenda did disclose that OPM is developing an interim rule for the new Federal Employees Supplemental Dental and Vision Benefits Program. OPM expects to issue the interim rule this December when the Program kicks off.
