Our Product Vision and the path to getting there!
On December, 2015, ProQuest Regulatory Insight database launched as a new product on the ProQuest Government platform. Access URL:
http://regulatoryinsight.proquest.com/regulatoryinsight
At launch, Regulatory Insight included histories associated with public laws enacted between 2001-2015. When complete, Regulatory Insight will also include histories associated with executive orders and tools to facilitate administrative law research with a focus on Federal agencies, and will be applicable for libraries at all institutions with strong research programs. Users will be able to search and browse the Code of Federal Regulations and the Federal Register. Functionality similar to Legislative History functionality make it easy for users to work with the content to solve a variety of multi-disciplinary research tasks.

Recent Updates: New!
Regulatory Insight now includes three new features:
Regulatory Histories Related to Executive Orders- “An Executive Order is issued—what happens next?” Similar to existing feature providing histories associated with public laws
- Each history compiles notices, proposed rules, and rules related to an Executive Order
- Provides top of the page filters
- Use the Search by Number page to retrieve this example of a History Related to an Executive Orders: 13559. Notice how the proposed and final rules indicate that the rulemaking process for the executive orders works the same way it does for public laws. Just like public laws, executive orders do not always have rules, and, in fact, there are far fewer executive orders than laws generating any rules
- Use the Advanced form content type options to search Regulatory Histories Related to Executive Orders alone or with other content
Agency View
- Compiles final rules for CFR Parts over which an Agency has current or historic jurisdiction. Facilitates understanding of agency jurisdiction and changes in rulemaking over time. Default is organized by CFR Part with Part names displayed to help users quickly grasp the scope of agency jurisdiction
- Provides top of the page filters, including search within, CFR Part, subject, and date
- Provides links to other agencies within the same department
- Provides a link to a list of proposed and final rules promulgated in the most recent two years
- Provides the date of the most recent rule on the page so users can quickly discern whether the agency view covers on agency that is currently issuing rules, or whether it is historic. For example, look at the Agency View of Immigration and Naturalization Service. Towards the top of the summary you will see that the last rule published was on March 07, 2003. This is an historic agency that no longer exists and no longer promulgates rules.
- Facilitates understanding of jurisdictional changes through
- Predecessor/Successor links, which create links between
- Agencies that moved from f department to another
- Agencies that were independent and became part of a department or vice versa
- Agencies that changed names throughout the years
- An example of Predecessor/Successor links are the links between Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Department of Homeland Security, and United States Customs Service, Department of Treasury
- Predecessor/Successor links, which create links between
- Agencies with Related Jurisdiction links, which create links between
- Agencies with current or historic jurisdiction over a CFR Part in cases where the jurisdiction has moved from one agency to another
- Agencies with current or historic jurisdiction over a CFR Part in cases where jurisdiction over a CFR Part is shared by more than one agency
- An example of Agencies with Related Jurisdiction links are the links between Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Federal Reserve System, and Federal Trade Commission
Enhanced Subject Indexing:
- Subject indexing related to the CFR Part has been added throughout to in order to facilitate the ability of users to retrieve similar content in a single search
- Note that Regulatory Histories Related to a Public Law continue to also offer P.L.-based subject indexing
Additional Features releasing later this year include:
- Comments Archive with comments for dockets open at the beginning of 2016 going forward
