This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

The Office of the Federal Register hosted a meeting of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) on Tuesday, July 8th in our conference room to discuss and vote on resolutions affecting the modus operandi of our agency. The three committee members of the ACFR, dictated by the Federal Register Act, include the Archivist of the United States (David Ferriero), the Public Printer (Davita Vance-Cooks), and a representative from the Department of Justice (Rosemary Hart). The Director of OFR (Charley Barth) serves as secretary of the committee.
During the meeting, the committee heard status updates from the Government Printing Office and the OFR, and was especially pleased with the technical innovations by both agencies. After agency updates, the committee discussed resolutions bolstering OFR’s digital initiatives and improving customer experience when an agency is working with the OFR to get a document published. Adopted resolutions will go into effect immediately, and our office applauds the ACFR for their commitment to progress at the Office of the Federal Register.
