of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (1 CFR Ch. I).
The Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,

Orders, Federal agency documents having general applicability and
legal effect, documents required to be published by act of Congress,
and other Federal agency documents of public interest.
Documents are on file for public inspection in the Office of the
Federal Register the day before they are published, unless the issuing
agency requests earlier filing. For a list of documents currently on
file for public inspection, see http://www.nara.gov/fedreg.
The seal of the National Archives and Records Administration
authenticates the Federal Register as the official serial publication
established under the Federal Register Act. Under 44 U.S.C. 1507, the
contents of the Federal Register shall be judicially noticed.
The Federal Register is published in paper and on 24x microfiche. It
