An update to my last post: The proposed rule to implement the May OMB initiative on government printing has now been published in the Federal Register. The official site is 67 F.R. 68914 (Nov. 13, 2002). The proposed rule contains a lengthy summary at the beginning discussing the separation of powers issue. I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet, but I understand that while there's language bemoaning "fugitive documents" and encouraging agencies to submit documents to the Superintendent of Documents, but with no express mechanism for how agencies should do this and, apparently, no penalty if they don't.
Comments must be sent in by Dec. 13, 2002. The address is General Services Administration, FAR Secretariat (MVA), 1800 F Street, NW., Room 4035, ATTN: Laurie Duarte, Washington, DC 20405. You can e-mail comments to farcase.2002-011@gsa.gov. If you do send comments, refer to FAR case 2002-011. Please read this rule and send in comments if you think it's important that citizens continue to have access to government documents through the Federal Depository Library Program.
