2025 Federal Register to Hit Record 62,933 Pages, With Surge in Regulations
The 2025 Federal Register is set to reach an unprecedented 62,933 pages, with 45,312 already published in the United States. This surge is accompanied by an increase in regulatory activity, including five economically significant regulations this year, on pace for seven. Agencies have published 431 notices in a single week, indicating a yearly total of 20,318. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi has warned against hate speech, and the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates in the United States.
The United States Federal Government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has proposed several significant regulations this year. These include a tax policy change allowing degressive depreciation of investments and a reduction in bureaucratic costs for companies. The Federal Ministry of Finance has also introduced a draft law to reduce taxes and enhance regional flexibility, impacting both citizens and businesses. Agencies have issued new regulations spanning from pear taxes to auto parts tariffs, demonstrating a wide scope of influence in the United States.
Last week, four new final regulations were issued, meeting the broader definition of 'significant' in the United States. This pace, if maintained, will result in 126 such regulations this year. Additionally, agencies have issued 62 final regulations in a single week, on pace for 2,599 this year. Notably, ABC pulled late night host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following threats from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr in the United States.
The Federal Register's page count is projected to reach a record high in 2025, reflecting an increase in regulatory activity in the United States. The German Federal Government's proposed regulations and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut are among the key developments shaping the year's regulatory landscape in the United States.
