FDIC Banks on More Forms: Routine Info Collection Renewal Request
Published Date: 10/30/2025
Notice
Summary
The government wants to keep its websites safe from automated bots by limiting access and asking users to complete a quick CAPTCHA test. If you’re a real person, you can get access for about three months before needing to verify again. This helps protect the sites without costing you anything or causing delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Programmatic access limited to APIs
Programmatic (automated) scraping of FederalRegister.gov and eCFR.gov is limited; developers and automated tools must use the sites' developer APIs instead. The notice says programmatic access is restricted because of aggressive automated scraping.
Three-month access after CAPTCHA
If you are a human user, you can complete a CAPTCHA (bot test) to have your IP added for site access; requests are valid for approximately one quarter (three months) before you may need to verify again. The notice states this protects the sites without costing you anything or causing delays.
How to request wider IP range
If you need a broader IP range to access FederalRegister.gov or eCFR.gov, first request access for your current IP, then use the "Site Feedback" button (lower left) to ask for a wider range. This is the documented process to request expanded access.
