How do I use these indexes to find a document?
- Daily Tables of Contents
- GPO Access' daily contents link directly to Federal Register documents. When you find the entry for the document you want, click the associated link to retrieve it as a text file or Adobe PDF file.
- Cumulative and Annual Indexes
- Cumulative and Annual Indexes do not provide links, but they do give Federal Register page numbers for each document. You can use a document's page number to retrieve it from GPO Access' online Federal Register.
- When you know a document's page number
- Go to GPO Access' Federal Register Search Page, Advanced Search.
- Under "Select a Volume," check the box for the year that the document was printed.
- In the box that follows "Search," enter the page number in quotes, for example: "page 12345"
- Click "Submit"
How are Federal Register indexes arranged?
- Entries are arranged first by the agency that issued the document. For example, to find a document from Department of Agriculture about wheat, look under "A" for Agriculture Department rather then "W" for wheat.
- Within each agency, the documents are grouped by category. Entries for Rules documents are first, followed by Proposed Rules, then Notices. Entries in each category appear in alphabetical order.
