The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) established guidelines federal agencies should follow when creating and disseminating important guidance (Bulletin No. 07-02).  Part of these guidelines state that agencies must provide easy access to a list of all of an agency's significant guidance documents in electronic form on its Web site.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides guidance products to the public and the federal community in fulfilling its mission.  CDC is currently compiling a list of these documents and will shortly add these to this Web site.  CDC will add any new significant guidance documents that it issues to this Web site within 30 days of their publication.
