The Federal Register is published every business-day and includes proposed rules and regulations, as well as important notices from the U.S. Government. Everyone is encouraged to read it. Important changes in things that are important to you as a U.S. resident, whether a citizen, LPR, nonimmigrant visitor or even an illegal alien may be there.
Government Agencies make rules about applying for immigration and naturalization benefits and publish them here first. Usually they are open for public comment. Changes to existing rules and application forms are announced in the FR.
I submitted comments on the N-600, I-290B and N-470. Those can be found at: http://www.regulations.gov/search/R...84+1&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchall&Ntt=uscis&No=0

You can sign up for e-mail delivery of the FR table of contents somewhere on that site in order to monitor changes as they occur.
The Immigration Agencies (including State Department) may publish something of interest to the immigrant community at any time.
Many times there are deadlines involved. A program that is "sunsetting" (or ending) may be published to inform those eligible that they MUST file by a certain date or lose eligibility. This may be important for legalization, TPS (Temporary Protected Status), work authorization (very often there are automatic extension that some may need to prove to an employer when their EAD has expired).
Forms are updated periodically, and these afford an opportunity to voice complaints and offer suggestions in the form, form instructions, and processing isues for that form AND the particular benefits it is used to apply for.
This country is based on "We the People..." Here is your chance to be part of the People.
