Modification to Circular Letter No. 412

September 19, 1996

TO:	Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government
SUBJECT:	Changes in the Cost to Publish in the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations

This is to inform you of a change to Circular Letter No. 412, concerning the rates to publish in the Federal Register, effective January 1, 1997. Because of the elimination of most of the pre-press work in the submission of documents which are fully coded, as input to Microcomp, and validated, we will offer a special rate which will be in effect until we are fully operational with SGML-coded documents (late 1997). At that time, the higher rate will be put into effect because of the conversions that will be required. The rates and codes are as follows:

The conversion to SGML is expected to result in standardized input to GPO's publishing systems, thus permitting programmatic generation of documents via (1) conventional print products, (2) demand-print products, (3) online products, and (4) CD-ROM products, which employ the same user interface to effect enhanced contextual searches whether disseminated online or via CD-ROM media. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact your GPO Account Representative.

Sincerely,

ROBERT G. COX
Superintendent,
Departmental Account Representative Division
