 The Office of the Federal Register has created an Electronic Public Inspection Desk to provide free worldwide electronic access to public documents. For the first time in the 72-year existence of the daily Federal Register, the documents on file are available for viewing anytime, anywhere. Every federal business day, anyone with access to a computer now can read critical documents governing federal regulations relating to business, health, and safety as soon as the documents are placed on file.
To view these documents, go to www.federalregister.gov. See “View Documents on Public Inspection” on the left hand side. This new desk grants the public access to documents that will be published in the next day's Federal Register as early at 8:45 a.m. EST. Previously, such documents could only be seen by viewing the documents physically located at the Office of the Federal Register in Washington, D.C.
