Plan ahead

The Federal Register has deadlines — and sticks to them. You should too.

  • It’s published Monday through Friday, except on federal holidays.
  • There’s a regular schedule of filing for public inspection and publication, and documents are processed accordingly.
  • Documents received after 2 p.m. will be assigned to the next workday’s schedule.
  • For more information about the Federal Register’s scheduling procedures, see 1 C.F.R. 17.2.

Ensure the timely publication of your documents by including the Federal Register’s scheduling procedures in your plans.

And that’s smart business!
