Final Draft 7 Update: A Step Closer to Official Status

The table of contents, a vital navigational tool, has been processed from the daily Federal Register. This milestone marks a significant step towards official status for the XML-based Federal Register. As the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) grants it official legal status, researchers can now verify their findings against an authentic edition.

The material on this site is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version available on 'www.gpo.gov'(http://www.gpo.gov). While every effort has been made to ensure that regulatory information is presented reliably and accurately, it is essential to note that this prototype edition remains unofficial until the ACFR issues a regulation granting it official legal status.

The partnership between the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) and the Government Publishing Office (GPO) is committed to providing accurate and reliable access to our official publications. This includes information about and access to our official documents, which are available on 'www.federalregister.gov'(http://www.federalregister.gov).

Each document posted on this site includes a link to its corresponding official PDF file on 'www.gpo.gov'(http://www.gpo.gov). The documents themselves are XML renditions of published Federal Register materials, but they do not replace the official print version or the official SGML-based PDF version.

In summary, this site showcases a prototype of a 'Web 2.0' version of the daily Federal Register, which will remain an unofficial informational resource until the ACFR grants it official legal status. As we move closer to achieving this goal, researchers can rely on this site for accurate and reliable access to regulatory information.
