Genius Act Implementation request for comments (www.federalregister.gov)

I attempted to fetch the Federal Register “Genius Act Implementation” notice but the page is gated: FederalRegister.gov and eCFR.gov have restricted programmatic scraping and require use of their developer APIs or a manual “Request Access” flow. Human users can complete a CAPTCHA to add a single IP to an allowlist; that access lasts roughly one quarter (≈3 months). If you need a broader IP range, you must first register the current IP and then use the site’s “Site Feedback” to request expanded coverage. This matters for AI/ML practitioners because automated crawlers and dataset-builders can no longer freely scrape these primary U.S. regulatory texts. The practical technical implications are: rely on the official developer APIs (which likely include rate limits, authentication, and structured outputs) for bulk or programmatic ingestion; use explicit access workflows for any IP-based scraping; and plan for periodic reauthorization every few months. Researchers should also consider provenance and compliance impacts—loss of simple scraping can affect reproducibility, dataset freshness, and training pipelines, so budget for API access, throttling, and potential legal/terms constraints when using federal regulatory data.
