TO: Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government
SUBJECT: Changes in the Cost to Publish in the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations
This is to inform you of changes in the page rates charged for publishing in the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations that are effective April 1, 2006. These new rates are necessitated by wage increases in both the administrative and craft areas of the Government Printing Office (GPO). Please note that the rates for the Federal Register prior to this increase were in effect since March 2002. The last significant page rate change for the Code of Federal Regulations was January 1, 1999.
