# HHS Federal Register Final Rules (~10k docs: FDA + CMS + CDC + HHS Dept)

Every HHS Final Rule 1994-2026 across the Department + FDA + CMS + CDC sub-agencies. FDA drug approvals (NDA, ANDA, tentative approvals), medical device classifications (510(k), premarket), food/color additives, tobacco product regulations. CMS Medicare physician fee schedule, IPPS hospital prospective payment, skilled nursing facility rules, Medicaid coverage decisions. CDC public health emergency declarations, quarantine rules, vaccination guidance, communicable disease responses. HHS Dept HIPAA privacy rules, hospital facility standards, hospice rules. Source: federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents.json (4 HHS sub-agency slugs queried together, paginated year-by-year). Complements existing hhs_oig_exclusions (LEIE excluded providers), hhs_oig_enforcement (Medicaid fraud), cms_nursing_homes (abuse-flagged facilities), fda_recalls, fda_warning_letters — this is the rulemaking driver layer.
