As we pointed out two weeks ago, the Federal Register 2.0 would debut today. The site is now live.
After just a quick look it’s hard to believe that it’s the same type of content that looked so different 48 hours ago. We will have more to say after being able to spend some time using it.
Access FederalRegister 2.0
It may be approved as an “official edition” sometime next year.
Here’s the Official Announcement from the Government Printing Office (GPO) and National Archives (NARA) (PDF)
This daily journal of government has provided the public with access to government information and federal regulations for the past 75 years. Federal Register 2.0 features a new layout that organizes the content by topics similar to a newspaper Web site. The site displays individual sections for Money, Environment, World, Science and Technology, Business and Industry, and Health and Public Welfare. The Web site has improved search and navigation tools to guide readers to the most popular topics and relevant documents. Users can submit comments and stay connected through social media.
GPO coordinated the development aspects of the new Web site in collaboration with [NARA's] OFR [Office of the Federal Register]. GPO’s Federal Digital System (FDsys), a content management system and preservation repository, feeds content into Federal Register 2.0 and acts as the holder of the official content and archived information.
