Federal Register

The Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of Federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and other presidential documents. Documents are available in Summary, PDF, ASCII text, or HTML format.

Many state education agencies, local education agencies, and national associations rely on information disseminated in the Federal Register to inform their planning. The following guidance for using the Federal Register was shared by the NESAC Action Plan Team at the Winter 2006 Meeting.
