It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov. </p> <p> The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to <a href="https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/the-federal-register/about.html" title="About the Federal Register"> About the Federal Register </a> on NARA's archives.gov. </p> <p> The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts. </p> </div><div class="fr-seal-block fr-seal-block-footer"><span class="h6">Legal Status</span></div></div> </div> <div class="main-title-bar "><div class="bar left-extender"></div><div class="bar left"></div><h1 class=""> <span class="icon-fr2 icon-fr2-notice "></span> Notice </h1><div class="bar right"></div></div> <div> <div id="suggestions" class="" data-controller="suggestions autocomplete" data-autocomplete-url-value="/suggestions" data-autocomplete-delay-value="300"> <div class="modal hidden" data-controller="modal" data-action="keyup@document->modal#escClose" data-suggestions-target="modal"> <button class="backdrop" type="button" tabindex="-1" data-action="modal#close"></button> <div class="content"> <div class="panel panel-default panel-info" data-suggestions-target="help"> <div class="panel-heading"> <span class="icon-fr2 icon-fr2-badge_x" style="float: right;" data-action="click->modal#forceClose"></span> <p> Enter a search term or FR citation e.g. <span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info">88 FR 382</span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info desktop-only">30 FR 7878</span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info">2024-13208</span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info">USDA</span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info desktop-only">09/05/24</span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info">RULE</span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info desktop-only">0503-AA39</span> <span data-action="click->suggestions#fillExample" class="example badge badge-info desktop-only">SORN</span> </span> </p> <p class="desktop-only"> Choosing an item from <span class="suggestion-header-example">full text search results</span> will bring you to those results.
