The record in numbers

Every number here is measured from the record as it stands; none is typed. A filing or decision is counted once by the Board’s own identifier, even when it is entered under a parent and a sub-docket, and an environmental comment once by the Board’s number and row — the same units the coverage page reports. The chart below is filings and decisions only; comments arrive on their own walk and are not yet drawn. Months are by the Board’s own dates — filed or served — so a month’s number is what this record holds dated in that month, whichever wave observed it; every month back to 1996-01 has been walked, so the small numbers of the early years are the Board’s own table, not months still to come (coverage gives them by year). Nothing on this page is about who reads or follows.

Over time

Filings and decisions, by the Board’s own dates. The current year and month are drawn lighter because they are unfinished. Hover a bar for its numbers; the table beneath is the same data.
