Frequently Asked Questions
Why should my Federal Agency open a GPO Deposit Account?
Open a GPO P&B Deposit Account if you want to:
- Increase your productive
time
- Maintain better control
of your funds
- Reduce or eliminate invoices
from GPO
- Save money
Are GPO
Deposit Accounts Legal?
Yes - Advanced payment to GPO for printing and binding is
authorized by 44 USC §310, which reads in part, "Adjustments
on the basis of the actual cost of delivered work paid for
in advance shall be made monthly or quarterly and as may
be agreed by the Public Printer and the department or establishment
concerned."
Do Appropriated Funds lose their
Fiscal Year identity?
If you have concerns about maintaining fiscal year integrity
of funds placed on deposit with GPO, you can address this
issue easily by opening a new deposit account at the
beginning of the next fiscal year and include the new account
number on orders placed in the new year.
After all your orders have cleared through the prior year's
deposit account, you may request a refund of any unused funds.
