Executive and Independent

Agency Publications:

Where to Get Official Documents

Introduction

The Congressional Research Service receives numerous congressional inquiries

asking, “Where is the best place to get copies of government documents?” “Where

do we call to get published material for constituents?” “How can you tell what’s

available for giveaway?” This manual will help answer these kinds of questions.

Government publications needed by congressional offices may be conveniently

divided between those published by Congress itself and those prepared by the various

executive and independent agencies. Many of these publications are now available

electronically on computer databases and a growing number of Internet Web sites,

for both Congress and executive branch agencies. These sources vary in reliability

and ease of use, and often change their addresses without warning. Internet and

computer database information is included below. Specific Web sites, where

available, are included in the listings for the specific agencies.1

Printed congressional publications are sometimes supplied to the offices

automatically. Numbered congressional reports and documents are usually available

from the House Legislative Resource Center (LRC)/House Document Room and the

Senate Document Room; committee prints and hearings can be obtained from the

issuing committees. These are not generally available from the Congressional

Research Service, except on a loan basis. Both the LRC/House Library (ext. 6-5200)

and Senate Library (ext. 4-7106) or the Law Library of the Library of Congress (ext.

7-2700) will also supply copies of hearings and committee prints to Members on

loan.

The publications from the executive and independent agencies are more difficult

to obtain because of the multiplicity of sources involved. It is with these that this

manual is concerned. Federal government agencies change their telephone numbers

and other contact information from time to time. Therefore, the information is

subject to change. If the number has been changed, there may be a recording

referring to the new number. If this is not the case, the caller may have to telephone

the appropriate congressional liaison office, government operator, or area code plus

555-1212 to obtain the agency’s correct number. The most appropriate places to call

are listed below, and we recommend consulting them in the listed sequence.

The Executive or Independent Agency That Issued

the Publication

A few agencies in the federal government conduct general publication programs,

preparing and distributing pamphlets to the public. These agencies receive

appropriations for this purpose, and the resulting publications are stocked and

distributed by the information offices within the agencies themselves.

Many of the agencies, however, do not distribute their own publications, but

prepare them with the expectation that they will be placed on sale and distributed by

the Superintendent of Documents. These agencies do not receive appropriations to

stock their publications in any quantity and, as a rule, must refer public requests for

them to the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). These agencies retain a limited

number of their publications for official use within the agency, and it is their usual

practice to share this supply with Members of Congress. This source is addressed in

the directory that follows.

In this publication, we have compiled information from over a hundred of the

larger executive branch bureaus and departments, as well as the independent

agencies. In each case, the agency was asked to furnish us with the address,

telephone number, fax number, and Internet e-mail and Web addresses, if available,

of the proper unit from which to request publications. Information on publications

of particular interest to Members of Congress is sometimes included in the notes.

Without exception, every agency indicated its willingness to serve congressional

offices to the limit of its ability. In every case, we were assured that any publications

they had available could be sent to a Member for personal use, and the majority of

the offices indicated their desire to assist the Member with constituent requests.

Limitations based on security classifications, scarcity, or unusual expense are

occasionally encountered.

All agencies are limited in the number of publications they can distribute by

Paragraph 39 of the February 1990 Government Printing and Binding Regulations

published by the Joint Committee on Printing, S.Pub. 101-9, 101st Congress, second

session, 21 (1990):

Departments shall not make free distribution of any publication to any private

individual or private organization in quantities exceeding 50 copies without prior

approval of the Joint Committee on Printing. This quantity limitation shall not

apply when the production cost of the publications to be distributed is less than

$100.

In the ensuing pages, the organizations are listed alphabetically within the

following major categories:

! Executive Office of the President

! Executive departments

! Independent agencies and commissions.

CRS-3

The table of contents lists the agencies as they appear within this categorical

structure. The index lists all agencies alphabetically, using variant names and key

words where useful.

Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office

The Superintendent of Documents maintains a constantly changing stock of

approximately 21,000 different titles, which are distributed for sale to the general

public. Rather than attempting constant revision of a single catalog of these titles,

the Superintendent prepares a variety of lists which identify government publications

currently in print by subject. These printed Subject Bibliographies are frequently

revised and are available for free distribution to a Member’s office on request, by

telephone (202) 512-1808 or by writing to the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.

Government Printing Office, Document Sales Service, Washington, D.C. 20401.

(Note: Members may also wish to refer their constituents to one of the 24 GPO

bookstores located in major cities in the United States. A list of these with addresses

may be found in the United States Government Manual.) Offices that are unable to

secure titles requested by a constituent may wish to send instead the appropriate

Subject Bibliography. This will either identify the title required or list similar

material which the constituent can secure by sending the order blank included in the

Subject Bibliography and a remittance directly to the Superintendent of Documents.

If an office has been unable to secure a publication it needs from the issuing

agency and wishes to purchase it, a copy can be bought from the Superintendent of

Documents in the same manner as the general public. In some cases, a book

exchange arrangement carried on by the Documents Control Branch of the

Superintendent of Documents may be helpful. Under this agreement it is sometimes

possible for a Member to exchange publications he has received by allotment for

other publications of equal value which may be needed. An office wishing further

details on this program should call the Government Printing Office at (202) 5121808.

The Government Printing Office also provides access on the Internet to a wide

variety of government publications, from both the legislative and executive branches

of government, at its Web site [http://www.access.gpo.gov].

When a Publication Is Out of Print and Unavailable

Occasionally a needed publication is no longer available at either the executive

or independent agency or the Government Printing Office. Here are a few

suggestions for such cases:

! If the title is required for office use by the Member or his/her staff, it can be

borrowed from the Library of Congress, if it is available, for a limited period

of time. A staff member with loan privileges may request the publication by

telephoning ext. 7-5445.

! If the publication is needed for a constituent, he or she can be referred to the

nearest federal depository library. This will be one of more than 1,300

CRS-4

libraries throughout the country in which certain government publications are

preserved and made available for public use. A listing of these depository

libraries appears in Federal Depository Libraries Directory (1999) and may

be obtained by calling Library Programs Services (GPO) at (202) 512-1119.

Those with Internet access can also locate depository libraries by state or

telephone area code by searching the Federal Depository Library Program

Web page at [http://www.gpoaccess.gov/libraries.html]. Although many

depository libraries will have copies of the Congressional Record and the

serial documents of the Congress, there will be occasions when the title

requested is not a depository item. To determine whether a needed

publication is likely to be available, the office may wish to call (202) 5121119 and ask about its depository status. In addition, Members of Congress

can obtain information concerning the designation of libraries as federal

depositories by calling (202) 512-1119. Designation Handbook for Federal

Depository Libraries is available upon request.

! If the requesting constituent appears to be a scholar engaged in serious

research, the office may wish to recommend pursuing the publication through

an interlibrary loan. To secure such service the constituent should ask a local

librarian to borrow the publication either from the nearest depository library

(if there is none available in the community), from the state library, or through

the extension service of the state college or university. If the title is of such

a specialized nature that it cannot be secured from one of these, the local

librarian can request “location information” from the nearest regional union

catalog center. This will identify the most convenient copy to borrow.

agencies are becoming increasingly available on the Internet as these agencies have

created their own home pages on the Web. Many government agencies now make

the full text of their documents available on the Internet before the printed text is

obtainable from the agency or through GPO. This report includes Internet addresses,

provided by the agencies or obtained from other sources, available at the time of

writing.

Internet Links to Executive and Independent Agencies

The following Web sites provide additional access to a large number of federal

government Web pages. These are excellent sources for the most current listing of

Web sites added since the publication of this report.

“Official US Executive Branch Web Sites” is the title of an Internet Resource

subsidiary agency publications.

The Review Commission is the independent federal agency that resolves legal disputes

between private employers and another agency, the U.S. Department of Labor’s

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), over allegations that work place

safety or health violations exist. The Review Commission frequently receives requests from

congressional staffers with constituent complaints about working conditions. These types

of requests usually require information from the agency that inspects work places and

promulgates the regulations covering job safety and health conditions. That agency is

OSHA. As an adjudicatory agency, the Review Commission’s involvement in work place

issues begins after an inspection has been contested by an employer or employees’ group.

Three publications that OSHRC produces are A Guide to Procedures, Rules of

Procedure of the OSHRC, and Guide to E-Z Trial Procedures.
