                    FEDERAL REGISTER WORKSHOP

           THE FEDERAL REGISTER: WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO USE IT

  FOR:   Any person who uses the Federal Register and Code of 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.
         3. The important elements of typical Federal Register 
            documents.
         4. An introduction to the finding aids of the FR/CFR 
            system.
  WHY:   To provide the public with access to information necessary to 
            research Federal agency regulations which directly affect

            regulations.
