    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.

  Federal Register the day before they are published, unless the issuing 
  agency requests earlier filing. For a list of documents currently on

  Access, a service of the U.S. Government Printing Office.
