CIRCULAR LETTER NO. 472

October 24, 2000

TO: Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government

SUBJECT: Rider Orders for the Spanish Language Version of the Emergency Response Guidebook 2000

The Government Printing Office (GPO) is now accepting rider orders for the Spanish language version of the Department of Transportation (DOT) publication entitled Emergency Response Guidebook 2000 (ERG2000). ERG2000 was developed jointly by DOT and the Canadian and Mexican governments for use by firefighters, police, and other emergency services personnel who may be the first to arrive at the scene of a transportation accident involving hazardous materials. It is primarily a guide to aid first responders in quickly identifying the specific or generic classification of the materials involved and protecting themselves and the general public during the initial response phase.

Although the rider rate has not yet been determined, your requisition prior to production allows the printing of these copies during the regular press run. This results in substantial savings, which we are then able to pass along to you. (Please note that the rider rate applies to single destination, local delivery orders only. Mailing costs, if incurred, will comprise an additional charge.)

To take advantage of the rider rate, please forward your requisitions (Standard Form 1) to GPO by November 13, 2000. Please specify DOT requisition number 1-43880 and GPO jacket number 471-385 on your requisition.

If you have any questions, or require additional information, please contact your GPO Account Representative.

Sincerely,

JIM BRADLEY
Director, Customer Services
