Opportunity To ``Ride'' Printing Order for Volume IV of GAO's 
Principles of Federal Appropriations Law

AGENCY: General Accounting Office.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: GAO is publishing Volume IV of Principles of Federal 
Appropriations Law, second edition--known as ``The Red Book.'' Agencies 
may now place advance (rider) orders for copies of this volume with 
GPO.

DATES: Rider orders must be received by GPO no later than June 6, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The General Accounting Office (GAO) will 
shortly publish Volume IV of Principles of Federal Appropriations Law, 
second edition--also known as ``The Red Book.'' Volume IV will consist 
of three chapters covering goods and services, real property, boards 
and commissions, nonappropriated fund instrumentalities, corporations, 
and trust funds. Later this year, GAO will publish Volume V of the Red 
Book which will consist of a comprehensive index and tables of 
authority covering all of the preceding four volumes. Volumes IV and V 
complete the second edition of GAO's Principles of Federal 
Appropriations Law.
    GAO will provide one copy of each of these volumes to the heads of 
federal agencies. Agencies may place advance (rider) orders for 
additional copies of these volumes with their account representatives 
at the Government Printing Office (GPO). At the present time, agencies 
may only place rider orders for Volume IV. A separate announcement will 
be issued later this year when rider orders may be placed for Volume V.
    This notice is not intended to solicit orders from the general 
public for single copies or small orders of these volumes. GPO will 
offer volumes IV and V for sale to the general public at a later time.
    Rider orders for Volume IV should be placed on a Standard Form 1 
and should specify GAO Requisition No. 1-00050. Agency orders for 
Volume IV must be received by GPO no later than June 6, 2001. Rider 
requisitions for Volume IV will not be accepted after this date, and 
additional copies will have to be purchased from the Superintendent of 
Documents. All rider requisitions must be submitted to GPO through each 
agency's Washington, DC headquarters printing procurement office. We 
are advised that GPO will return all requisitions sent directly from 
field or regional offices.
    In compiling your agency's total order, GAO suggests that you take 
into consideration the needs of legal offices, finance offices, 
contracting offices, libraries, Inspector General offices, field and 
regional offices, and any other elements of your agency that might use 
this publication.
    As with the previous three volumes of this series, Volume IV of 
Principles of Federal Appropriations Law is designed to fit in a red 3-
ring binder imprinted with the title and other identification data. A 
binder and chapter tabs are included with each volume ordered. Volume V 
will be published in the ``perfect-bound'' format. Consequently, it 
will not require a binder.
