Model-written orientation

The Federal Reserve's Board of Governors conducts monetary policy and regulates bank holding companies; this feed carries press releases on FOMC statements, policy actions, and banking regulation.

The Federal Reserve System is the nation's central banking system, with the Board of Governors serving as its primary policymaking body based in Washington, D.C. The Board's main responsibilities are conducting monetary policy through the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and supervising bank holding companies. The FOMC meets regularly to set interest-rate targets and determine strategies to influence the money supply and economic activity.

This feed publishes all press releases from the Board of Governors, making it the official channel for announcing monetary-policy decisions, supervisory actions, and regulatory guidance. FOMC statements—the most prominent releases—explain the Committee's interest-rate decisions, economic assessments, and future policy intentions. The feed also includes announcements on banking supervision, regulatory changes, enforcement actions against regulated institutions, and compliance guidance for banks.

Feed items consist of a title and brief description (typically about 110 characters), with full-text articles averaging around 10,000 characters. The feed displays the 20 most recent releases. Publication frequency varies with the FOMC schedule and regulatory developments, typically resulting in a few releases per week, though frequency can increase during policy shifts or financial-market conditions.

Readers will find FOMC policy statements, supervisory guidance and rule changes affecting regulated institutions, enforcement actions, statements on banking-system conditions, and other official Board communications. All releases represent official Board positions and carry institutional authority. The feed serves as the authoritative source for the Board's monetary-policy announcements and supervisory decisions.

How we ingest it

Channel
RSS feed
Method
RSS poll via AgencyClient (pending content evaluation)
Poll cadence
about every 60 minutes while the collector runs
Request budget
the agency class: at most 3,000 requests per day shared across every agency web source, counted from the fetch log (failed requests count too)
Politeness
robots.txt is honored as observed — including each host's crawl-delay, exactly — and every request identifies itself as fapd/0.1 (Free Agentic Publication Digester; +https://fapd.info/bot.html; contact: hustleyourcity@gmail.com); a refusal is recorded, never evaded
Capture and hash
captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md)

Ingestion health

Ingestion health: delivering 8 item(s) in the last 14 days; most recent 2026-09-25; 20 of 361 request(s) to www.federalreserve.gov returned no content.

This label has held since 2026-09-04T15:32:05Z (UTC) and was last re-checked 2026-09-29T09:47:01Z (UTC).

Counts are of our own requests, retries included. A 4xx or 5xx is the server declining to return content — that may be load, maintenance, on-demand generation, or a limit the publisher sets, and we cannot tell which from outside. Nothing here is a measurement of the publisher.
