| Federal Register | The Federal Register ("FR") contains most routine publications and public notices of United States government agencies. The FR is published daily, and provides notice to the public of a federal government agency's proposed new rules, or changes to existing rules. The published notice, called a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (or "NPRM") typically requests public comment on a proposed rule, and provides notice of any public meetings where a proposed rule will be discussed. The public comments are considered by the issuing government agency, and the text of a final rule is published in the FR. The FR also contains executive orders and other presidential documents. In essence, the FR is a way for the government to think aloud to the people. The notice and comment process outlined in the FR gives the people a chance to participate in agency rulemaking. The FR is compiled by the National Archives and Records Administration and is printed by the Government Printing Office. The FR system of publication was created in 1935 under the Federal Register Act (44 U.S.C. Ch. 15) and was further enlarged and amended by the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 (5 U.S.C. Sec. 551). (references) | ||

| Federal register (FR) | Environment | The daily publication containing all federal government actions. The Federal Register is the formal method of communication for any Notice, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), or Final Rulemaking (FRM) issued by the US government. Once published in the FR, rules are collected in the Code of Federal Regulations. The FR is available at many libraries. FR cites areas similar in form to 11 FR 12345, where 11 is a number corresponding to the year (e.g., 62 is 1997) and 12345 represents the page number (pages are numbered continuously through the year; the first page published in each year is page number 1). Thus, a Notice whose cite is 62 FR 10700 was published beginning at page 10700 in 1997. It is usually helpful to obtain the date as well, since it is difficult to guess the date solely on the page number. (references) | |
