Federal Register: About
 Published
by the Office
of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA), the Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules,
proposed rules, and notices of Federal agencies and organizations, as
well as executive orders and other presidential documents. It is
updated daily by 6 a.m. and is published Monday through Friday, except
Federal holidays. GPO Access contains Federal Register volumes
from 59 (1994) to the present.
Documents are available in Summary, PDF, ASCII text, or HTML format.
HTML documents are available from 2000 forward and provide hypertext links
to Web sites mentioned in the FR document. The active HTTP-link feature
will be added to previous Federal Register databases in the near future.
The HTML documents can be saved as text files with no loss or change in
data.
The Unified Agenda, which appears twice a year in the printed
version of the Federal Register, is maintained as a separate application
on GPO Access.
