WASHINGTON  The meeting in the back room may not be over, but at least the public can peek inside.

After passage of the law overhauling the nation’s financial regulations, the federal agencies responsible for writing the rules are striving for transparency to avoid the appearance of improper coziness with lobbyists, bankers and executives in the financial services industry.

The Federal Reserve, which was given expanded responsibilities to protect the financial system, plans to require all staff members, not just senior officials, to keep track of every meeting with private sector representatives about the rule-writing required under the new law, including who was present and what was discussed. Summaries of the meetings will be routinely released on the Fed’s Web site.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which will be responsible for seizing and dismantling failing financial institutions, announced Thursday that every two weeks it would publish the names of lobbyists and other industry officials who met with its senior officials to discuss how to carry out the legislation.

Two other agencies, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, which have vast new duties involving financial instruments like swaps and credit ratings, have announced similar measures. They also opened special e-mail accounts to take in an anticipated flood of public comments. All the e-mail messages and attachments  from PowerPoint presentations to spreadsheets  are being posted on their Web sites.
