As the Federal Register climbed above 87,000 pages for the first time in its 81-year history, agencies issued new rules ranging from landfills to movie theaters.

On to the data:

Last week, 65 new final regulations were published in the Federal Register, after 85 the previous week.

That’s the equivalent of a new regulation every two hours and 35 minutes.

With 3,454 final regulations published so far in 2016, the federal government is on pace to issue 3,722 regulations in 2016. Last year’s total was 3,406 regulations.

Last week, 2,006 new pages were added to the Federal Register, after 2,292 pages the previous week.

Currently at 87,297 pages, the 2016 Federal Register is on pace for 94,071 pages. This would exceed the 2010 Federal Register’s previous all-time record adjusted page count of 81,405.

Rules are called “economically significant” if they have costs of $100 million or more in a given year. 30 such rules have been published so far in 2016, one in the last week.

The running compliance cost tally for 2016’s economically significant regulations ranges from $23.5 billion to $36.2 billion.

277 final rules meeting the broader definition of “significant” have been published this year.

So far in 2016, 580 new rules affect small businesses; 99 of them are classified as significant.
