Edition by edition
The VA Unified Agenda Archive: where projected dates go on the record.
Twice a year, VA publishes its rulemaking plan in the Unified Agenda, including a projected date for each rule's next step. Each new edition overwrites the last, so slipped dates normally vanish. We archive every edition and compare them, so a projection made in 2019 is still here to be checked against what actually happened.
