The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) was directed by the Joint Committee on Printing (JCP) to determine the extent to which public access via the FDLP may be impaired by current or projected organizational, financial, technological, or other conditions affecting regional depository libraries. The study was delivered to the JCP and per their request GPO identified the report as "draft" and posted it on the FDLP Desktop for comment. The final report to the JCP was transmitted on January 6, 2009. Below you will find links to the final and draft reports as well as related working documents.

GPO thanks the depository library community for participating in the study process and for providing valuable information, comments, and supportive letters.
