Holding

The June 30, 2026 Federal Register is the lowest-scoring issue in this series, dominated by banking regulatory expansion and routine administrative activity. The FDIC published three major proposed rules imposing new requirements on depository institutions — resolution submissions, disclosure obligations, and assessment threshold changes — representing significant regulatory expansion under Article III. The CDFI Fund published three grant funding opportunities representing federal capital allocation programs. An FCC rule on network disruption reporting and DHS's signature standardization rule for immigration benefit requests round out the issue. The issue scores Mixed because it neither advances America First priorities nor contains Automatic Fail content — it is primarily the maintenance and expansion of the administrative state.
