       Federal Regulations.
 
 WHO:  Sponsored by the Office of the Federal Register.
 
 WHAT: Free public briefings (approximately 3 hours) to
       present:
 
       1. The regulatory process, with a focus on the
          Federal Register system and the public's role in
          the development of regulations.
 
       2. The relationship between the Federal Register and
          Code of Federal Regulations.

 
 WHY:  To provide the public with access to information
       necessary to research Federal agency regulations

       discussion of specific agency regulations.

issue.

  
_______________________________________________________________________



New Feature in the Reader Aids!

Beginning with the issue of December 4, 1995, a new listing will appear 
each day in the Reader Aids section of the Federal Register called 
``Reminders''. The Reminders will have two sections: ``Rules Going Into 
Effect Today'' and ``Comments Due Next Week''. Rules Going Into Effect 
Today will remind readers about Rules documents published in the past which 
go into effect ``today''. Comments Due Next Week will remind readers about 
impending closing dates for comments on Proposed Rules documents published 
in past issues. Only those documents published in the Rules and Proposed 
Rules sections of the Federal Register will be eligible for inclusion in 
the Reminders.

The Reminders feature is intended as a reader aid only. Neither inclusion 
nor exclusion in the listing has any legal significance.

The Office of the Federal Register has been compiling data for the 
Reminders since the issue of November 1, 1995. No documents published prior 
to November 1, 1995 will be listed in Reminders.
