|
|
| ## Method and limits
|
|
|
| Two Federal Register API queries (comment_date >= today, effective_date >= today), every page, fields as listed. Issuing agencies are matched to LDA government-entity names on their distinctive words (Transportation Department = Transportation, Dept of (DOT)); every 2026 LD-2 client that named the agency is counted.
|
|
|
| Not legal advice and not a docket-monitoring service for any client. The lobbying join shows who lobbies the agency, not who lobbied on this specific rule. Not individual lobbyist data: only client organizations are named.
