Final rule · Not yet effective

What changed: PHMSA removed the redundant hazardous-substances and RQ tables in Appendix A to 49 CFR §172.101 and now directs users to EPA's list at 40 CFR §302.4. The rule changes where the list is referenced, not the underlying hazardous-substance classification or RQ values.

What this prototype does and does not prove

Working: Source-grounded page references, before/after recommendations, impact explanations, no-update examples, JSON export, and optional live Federal Register metadata retrieval.

Not implemented: AI-generated edits, autonomous regulatory discovery, automated comparison of historical and current eCFR text, PDF upload in the browser, and ongoing monitoring. The findings are intentionally a transparent benchmark for testing those capabilities next.
