    The FEDERAL REGISTER is published daily, Monday through Friday, 
  except official holidays, by the Office of the Federal Register, 
  National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, DC 20408, 
  under the Federal Register Act (44 U.S.C. Ch. 15) and the regulations 
  of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (1 CFR Ch. I). 
  The Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
  Washington, DC 20402 is the exclusive distributor of the official 
  edition.

    The Federal Register provides a uniform system for making available 
  to the public regulations and legal notices issued by Federal 
  agencies. These include Presidential proclamations and Executive 
  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 
  is also available online at no charge as one of the databases on GPO 
  Access, a service of the U.S. Government Printing Office.

    The online edition of the Federal Register is issued under the 
  authority of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register as 
  the official legal equivalent of the paper and microfiche editions (44 
  U.S.C. 4101 and 1 CFR 5.10). It is updated by 6 a.m. each day the 
  Federal Register is published and it includes both text and graphics 
  from Volume 59, Number 1 (January 2, 1994) forward.

    GPO Access users can choose to retrieve online Federal Register 
  documents as TEXT (ASCII text, graphics omitted), PDF (Adobe Portable 
  Document Format, including full text and all graphics), or SUMMARY 
  (abbreviated text) files. Users should carefully check retrieved 
  material to ensure that documents were properly downloaded.
