Get your regs before they appear in the Federal Register
The Public Inspection Desk at the Office of the Federal Register lists documents (in PDF format) that will be published in the Federal Register. From their website:
In some instances, agencies may request that documents appear on file several days prior to publication. This enables the official version of an important or complex document to be available to the public well before publication in the final typeset editions of the Federal Register.

New Copier/Microforms Setup
The configuration on the replacement copiers (due week of January 5) will be: two on the third floor and one on the fourth floor. There will be a card dispenser on the third floor (in the copier alcove with the copiers).
The public pc printer and one of the microform reader/printers will also send print jobs to the copiers via a “print release station” with attached card reader near the public terminals (about where the print station is now, but without the printer).
This means the microform reader will build a print job on an attached PC, then send it to the print release station for payment, which will then send it to the copiers for printing. This is kind of involved, but the best set-up we can get. (The current reader that is attached to a networked PC will stay the same—with PDF files saved to disk/or drive, or emailed. We will convert one of the older readers to the print system, and probably D&D the other one).
The three copiers will all be networked. One or both of the third floor copiers will receive print jobs from the public terminals and reader/printers. All will be set up to work as scanners as well as copiers, with an option to email the scans—thus the need for the network connection for all three. The card dispenser will either be networked or connected to a phone line via modem (the company is looking into the options), and will ONLY take credit and debit cards. We will not have a cash option on the copy cards.
