What the data contains

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System publishes press releases on banking and consumer regulatory policy (proposed and final rules, comment period announcements, interagency guidance and statements, stress test scenarios and results, and supervisory policy changes) on federalreserve.gov and as an RSS feed of the 15 most recent releases. This source reads the feed daily and makes one record per release, keyed by its link, with the headline, category and publication time. A monitor reports each new release. Release pages and the rules they announce are not fetched. Headlines describe regulatory actions affecting institutions, not individuals; enforcement actions, which can concern named individuals, are a separate feed and are not read. A release leaving the 15-item window is not a withdrawal. SourceFinch is independent of the Federal Reserve.

Fields and types

Every record has these fields. The key field url identifies a record across runs, so changes are reported field by field.

Sample output

The first 5 of 15 records from SourceFinch's own run on October 12, 2026, exactly as delivered.

Evidence behind every value

• Each run keeps the publisher's exact response, hashed with SHA-256. This sample came from a response with hash d445c9d91bbad284dba22b51fc6c8884c1cf5c2819a21408cd353e7414cc419d.
• Every value records where it came from in that response: a CSS path into the retained capture.
• Each run gets a signed manifest (Ed25519) timestamped by an RFC 3161 authority: this run's manifest hash is 84cd484636b39ea8e2ce281668cf3bed82ad73a77f34cce0147c84e7d8f396ca, timestamped October 12, 2026.
• The compliance state at capture is recorded with the evidence: robots.txt hash and verdict, AI-preference signals, crawler identity and the usage rights below.
• Download any run as an evidence bundle (WACZ) and check it offline, without trusting SourceFinch: sourcefinch verify-bundle run.wacz.

Terms posture and usage rights

The Federal Reserve Board's website policies state that, unless otherwise indicated, information on the Board's website is in the public domain and may be copied and distributed without permission, citing the Board as the source; material identified as belonging to a non-Board source, and the Board's seals and logos, are excluded. www.federalreserve.gov serves no robots.txt (HTTP 404), which RFC 9309 treats as allowing access. The feeds begin with a UTF-8 byte-order mark, which the worker records as a decoding step.

Source: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. SourceFinch is independent of and not endorsed by the Federal Reserve.

Usage rights travel with every record SourceFinch delivers (API, exports, webhooks and evidence bundles). They are our documented understanding of the publisher's stated terms, not legal advice.
