This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. 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.
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 About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
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.
We’re thrilled to announce the release of our new combined search and navigation “omni” box! 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.
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 after a search was performed, which sometimes made them easy to overlook and required an extra click to make use of.
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 omni box comes in, making search and navigation easier than ever.
The new omni box 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.
Search a Document Number (e.g., 2022-14631):
Search with Keywords and Agencies (e.g., “corn USDA”):
We currently support detection of the following search filters and reference types:
We’re continuously working to add more search filters and navigation options, and we’ll this announcement when these improvements are available.
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.
We’re excited to bring you this enhanced search experience and look forward to your feedback! Let us know how we can improve this feature or what filters you’d like to see next by using the Site Feedback button in the lower right corner of any page.
Happy searching and navigating!
