Increasing Efficiency At the Office of the Federal Register

The order directs the Archivist of the United States, through the Office of the Federal Register, to collaborate with the Director of the Government Publishing Office to reduce publication delays and modernize systems. The Archivist is also required to review and adjust the fee schedules for publication in the Federal Register, ensuring that fees reflect the actual costs of publication. The order specifies that agencies are currently charged between $151-$174 per column of text to publish each rule in the Federal Register.
