What did Donald Trump claim about the economy on 15 Sep 2016?
Donald Trump, Republican presidential nominee ·
In 2015 alone, federal agencies issued over 3,300 final rules and regulations, up from 2,400 from the prior year.
Final rules fell, not rose: 3,554 rule documents were published in 2014 and 3,410 in 2015. The 2,400 figure matches 2014's proposed rules, 2,383.
The Office of the Federal Register counted 3,554 rule documents published in 2014 and 3,410 in 2015, so final rules fell rather than rose; 2,383 was the number of proposed-rule documents in 2014 (Office of the Federal Register, Federal Register Documents Published 1976-2015).
