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.

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 reader-aids"><div class="bar left-extender"></div><div class="bar left"></div><h1 class=""> <span class="icon-fr2 icon-fr2-pc "></span> Recent Site Updates </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.

This exciting feature will now appear when you use the search bar in the main navigation at the top of every page, as well as the primary search box on our home and agency pages.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why We Built It</h4> <p>For years, we’ve provided search suggestions, like detecting document numbers (e.g., 2022-14631) or agency acronyms (e.g., USDA), and offering links to those documents or suggesting agency filters. While useful, these suggestions only appeared <em>after</em> a search was performed, which sometimes made them easy to overlook and required an extra click to make use of.</p> <p>Additionally, users aren’t always searching for documents—they may be looking for specific parts of FederalRegister.gov, such as the current issue table of contents, that search doesn’t support. That’s where the <strong>omni box</strong> comes in, making search and navigation easier than ever.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">The New Omni Box: Search and Navigate Seamlessly</h4> <p>The new <strong>omni box</strong> combines search and navigation in one convenient place. When you use the search bar in the main navigation (or on the home and agency pages), you’ll now see a modal window containing the omni box.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="967" height="327" src="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194326/Initial-omni-box-state.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10821" srcset="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194326/Initial-omni-box-state.png 967w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194326/Initial-omni-box-state-300x101.png 300w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194326/Initial-omni-box-state-768x260.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 967px) 100vw, 967px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Initial omni box state</figcaption></figure> <h5 class="wp-block-heading">Examples:</h5> <p><strong>Search a Document Number</strong> (e.g., 2022-14631)<strong>:</strong></p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li></li> </ol> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>You’ll see options like performing a full-text search for the ‘2022-14631’ (useful for finding documents that reference that document) or navigating directly to the document itself.</li> </ul> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="962" height="496" src="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194433/Document-number-omni-box-response.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10822" srcset="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194433/Document-number-omni-box-response.png 962w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194433/Document-number-omni-box-response-300x155.png 300w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194433/Document-number-omni-box-response-768x396.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Document number omni box response</figcaption></figure> <p><strong>Search with Keywords and Agencies </strong>(e.g., “corn USDA”)<strong>:</strong></p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li></li> </ol> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>You’ll be able to perform a full-text search for ‘corn USDA’, filter results to documents from USDA and containing ‘corn’, or even go directly to the agency’s page on FederalRegister.gov.</li> </ul> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="962" height="534" src="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194533/Agency-filter-omni-box-response.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10823" srcset="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194533/Agency-filter-omni-box-response.png 962w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194533/Agency-filter-omni-box-response-300x167.png 300w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194533/Agency-filter-omni-box-response-768x426.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Agency filter omni box response</figcaption></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Current Omni Box Capabilities</h4> <p>We currently support detection of the following search filters and reference types:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Document types (e.g., rules, notices)</li> <li>RIN numbers (e.g., 0503-AA39)</li> <li>Agency acronyms (e.g., USDA, NOAA)</li> <li>Dates (e.g., 9/05/24)</li> <li>FR document numbers (e.g., 2022-14631)</li> <li>FR citations (e.g., 88 FR 382)</li> </ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">What’s Next</h4> <p>We’re continuously working to add more search filters and navigation options, and we’ll this announcement when these improvements are available.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Ready to try it out?</h4> <p>Check out the clickable examples in the blue description text at the top of the omni modal, and experience faster, easier access to the documents and sections you need.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="967" height="327" src="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194711/Omni-box-clickable-examples.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10824" srcset="https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194711/Omni-box-clickable-examples.png 967w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194711/Omni-box-clickable-examples-300x101.png 300w, https://uploads.federalregister.gov/uploads/2024/10/11194711/Omni-box-clickable-examples-768x260.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 967px) 100vw, 967px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Omni box clickable examples</figcaption></figure> <p>We’re excited to bring you this enhanced search experience and look forward to your feedback!
