Legal Status
The following documents are on file at the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) and will be published in the Federal Register on the dates listed.
Regular Filing documents are routinely placed on file at 8:45 a.m. Eastern Time, for publication in the next day’s Federal Register.
Special Filing documents are filed at other times and/or dates prior to publication.
See About Public Inspection for more information.
Although we make a concerted effort to reproduce the original document in full on our Public Inspection pages, in some cases graphics may not be displayed, and non-substantive markup language may appear alongside substantive text. If you are using public inspection listings for legal research, you should verify the contents of documents against a final, official edition of the Federal Register. Only official editions of the Federal Register provide legal notice to the public and judicial notice to the courts under 44 U.S.C. 1503 & 1507.
Please note that most of the original documents filed with the Office of the Federal Register contain calculated effective dates, comment dates, and other applicable dates. We calculate and insert those dates after the documents go on file. You can consult the Table of Effective Dates & Time Periods to determine the calendar date of a calculated date contained in a Public Inspection document.
