Stay on top of the latest developments with REG•WATCH, OMB Watch's regulatory policy weblog.
OMB Watch manages a coalition called Citizens for Sensible Safeguards (CSS) which consists of almost 300 public interest organizations.

OMB Watch has been tracking the Bush administration's "midnight regulations" and has prepared a list of many of the more controversial rules worth watching. The list includes rules that could impact civil liberties, traffic safety, the environment, worker rights and safety, health and human services, and gun control. We're updating our list regularly.
