It was less that a month ago when we posted that the GPO was now printing the Congressional Record on 100% recycled paper.
Today, we can add the Federal Register to the list of documents printed on 100% recycled paper.
The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) and the National Archives’ Office of the Federal Register (OFR) made history by printing the Federal Register on 100% recycled paper. By using 100% recycled paper, GPO and OFR will reduce paper landfill waste across the country. GPO tested the 100% recycled paper in its plant throughout the past year. Those tests showed no difference in printability or run-ability as compared to the 40% post consumer waste recycled paper GPO has been using for years.

The Office of the Federal Register, within the National Archives and Records Administration publishes seven major publications containing the official text of Federal laws, Presidential documents, administrative regulations, public notices, and the descriptions of Federal organizations, programs and activities. Its premier publications are the daily Federal Register and the 226-volume Code of Federal Regulations.

See Also: Of course, electronic versions of the Federal Register are available. The GPO makes a browsable version available back to 1994 as well as a searchable version via FDsys. You can also still find a version of the publication on GPO Access.
Another version, that we like a lot and and was also a winner in the Apps for America II contest and is named GovPulse. Its archive also dates back to 1994 and has numerous access points. Make sure to have a look.
