Executive and Independent
Agency Publications:
Where to Get Official Documents
Introduction
The Congressional Research Service receives numerous congressional inquiries
asking, “Where is the best place to get copies of government documents?” “Where
do we call to get published material for constituents?” “How can you tell what’s
available for giveaway?” This manual will help answer these kinds of questions.
Government publications needed by congressional offices may be conveniently
divided between those published by Congress itself and those prepared by the various
executive and independent agencies. Many of these publications are now available
electronically on computer databases and a growing number of Internet Web sites,
for both Congress and executive branch agencies. These sources vary in reliability
and ease of use, and often change their addresses without warning. Internet and
computer database information is included below. Specific Web sites, where
available, are included in the listings for the specific agencies.1
Printed congressional publications are sometimes supplied to the offices
automatically. Numbered congressional reports and documents are usually available
from the House Legislative Resource Center (LRC)/House Document Room and the
Senate Document Room; committee prints and hearings can be obtained from the
issuing committees. These are not generally available from the Congressional
Research Service, except on a loan basis. Both the LRC/House Library (ext. 6-5200)
and Senate Library (ext. 4-7106) or the Law Library of the Library of Congress (ext.
7-2700) will also supply copies of hearings and committee prints to Members on
loan.
The publications from the executive and independent agencies are more difficult
to obtain because of the multiplicity of sources involved. It is with these that this
manual is concerned. Federal government agencies change their telephone numbers
and other contact information from time to time. Therefore, the information is
subject to change. If the number has been changed, there may be a recording
referring to the new number. If this is not the case, the caller may have to telephone
the appropriate congressional liaison office, government operator, or area code plus
555-1212 to obtain the agency’s correct number. The most appropriate places to call
are listed below, and we recommend consulting them in the listed sequence.

CRS-2
The Executive or Independent Agency That Issued
the Publication
A few agencies in the federal government conduct general publication programs,
preparing and distributing pamphlets to the public. These agencies receive
appropriations for this purpose, and the resulting publications are stocked and
distributed by the information offices within the agencies themselves.
Many of the agencies, however, do not distribute their own publications, but
prepare them with the expectation that they will be placed on sale and distributed by
the Superintendent of Documents. These agencies do not receive appropriations to
stock their publications in any quantity and, as a rule, must refer public requests for
them to the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). These agencies retain a limited
number of their publications for official use within the agency, and it is their usual
practice to share this supply with Members of Congress. This source is addressed in
the directory that follows.
In this publication, we have compiled information from over a hundred of the
larger executive branch bureaus and departments, as well as the independent
agencies. In each case, the agency was asked to furnish us with the address,
telephone number, fax number, and Internet e-mail and Web addresses, if available,
of the proper unit from which to request publications. Information on publications
of particular interest to Members of Congress is sometimes included in the notes.
Without exception, every agency indicated its willingness to serve congressional
offices to the limit of its ability. In every case, we were assured that any publications
they had available could be sent to a Member for personal use, and the majority of
the offices indicated their desire to assist the Member with constituent requests.
Limitations based on security classifications, scarcity, or unusual expense are
occasionally encountered.
All agencies are limited in the number of publications they can distribute by
Paragraph 39 of the February 1990 Government Printing and Binding Regulations
published by the Joint Committee on Printing, S.Pub. 101-9, 101st Congress, second
session, 21 (1990):
Departments shall not make free distribution of any publication to any private
individual or private organization in quantities exceeding 50 copies without prior
approval of the Joint Committee on Printing. This quantity limitation shall not
apply when the production cost of the publications to be distributed is less than
$100.
In the ensuing pages, the organizations are listed alphabetically within the
following major categories:
! Executive Office of the President
! Executive departments
! Independent agencies and commissions.

CRS-3
The table of contents lists the agencies as they appear within this categorical
structure. The index lists all agencies alphabetically, using variant names and key
words where useful.
Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office
The Superintendent of Documents maintains a constantly changing stock of
approximately 21,000 different titles, which are distributed for sale to the general
public. Rather than attempting constant revision of a single catalog of these titles,
the Superintendent prepares a variety of lists which identify government publications
currently in print by subject. These printed Subject Bibliographies are frequently
revised and are available for free distribution to a Member’s office on request, by
telephone (202) 512-1808 or by writing to the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Document Sales Service, Washington, D.C. 20401.
(Note: Members may also wish to refer their constituents to one of the 24 GPO
bookstores located in major cities in the United States. A list of these with addresses
may be found in the United States Government Manual.) Offices that are unable to
secure titles requested by a constituent may wish to send instead the appropriate
Subject Bibliography. This will either identify the title required or list similar
material which the constituent can secure by sending the order blank included in the
Subject Bibliography and a remittance directly to the Superintendent of Documents.
If an office has been unable to secure a publication it needs from the issuing
agency and wishes to purchase it, a copy can be bought from the Superintendent of
Documents in the same manner as the general public. In some cases, a book
exchange arrangement carried on by the Documents Control Branch of the
Superintendent of Documents may be helpful. Under this agreement it is sometimes
possible for a Member to exchange publications he has received by allotment for
other publications of equal value which may be needed. An office wishing further
details on this program should call the Government Printing Office at (202) 512-
1808.
The Government Printing Office also provides access on the Internet to a wide
variety of government publications, from both the legislative and executive branches
of government, at its Web site [http://www.access.gpo.gov].
When a Publication Is Out of Print and Unavailable
Occasionally a needed publication is no longer available at either the executive
or independent agency or the Government Printing Office. Here are a few
suggestions for such cases:
! If the title is required for office use by the Member or his/her staff, it can be
borrowed from the Library of Congress, if it is available, for a limited period
of time. A staff member with loan privileges may request the publication by
telephoning ext. 7-5445.
! If the publication is needed for a constituent, he or she can be referred to the
nearest federal depository library. This will be one of more than 1,300

CRS-4
libraries throughout the country in which certain government publications are
preserved and made available for public use. A listing of these depository
libraries appears in Federal Depository Libraries Directory (1999) and may
be obtained by calling Library Programs Services (GPO) at (202) 512-1119.
Those with Internet access can also locate depository libraries by state or
telephone area code by searching the Federal Depository Library Program
Web page at [http://www.gpoaccess.gov/libraries.html]. Although many
depository libraries will have copies of the Congressional Record and the
serial documents of the Congress, there will be occasions when the title
requested is not a depository item. To determine whether a needed
publication is likely to be available, the office may wish to call (202) 512-
1119 and ask about its depository status. In addition, Members of Congress
can obtain information concerning the designation of libraries as federal
depositories by calling (202) 512-1119. Designation Handbook for Federal
Depository Libraries is available upon request.
! If the requesting constituent appears to be a scholar engaged in serious
research, the office may wish to recommend pursuing the publication through
an interlibrary loan. To secure such service the constituent should ask a local
librarian to borrow the publication either from the nearest depository library
(if there is none available in the community), from the state library, or through
the extension service of the state college or university. If the title is of such
a specialized nature that it cannot be secured from one of these, the local
librarian can request “location information” from the nearest regional union
catalog center. This will identify the most convenient copy to borrow.

The publications of executive branch departments and other government
agencies are becoming increasingly available on the Internet as these agencies have
created their own home pages on the Web. Many government agencies now make
the full text of their documents available on the Internet before the printed text is
obtainable from the agency or through GPO. This report includes Internet addresses,
provided by the agencies or obtained from other sources, available at the time of
writing.
Internet Links to Executive and Independent Agencies
The following Web sites provide additional access to a large number of federal
government Web pages. These are excellent sources for the most current listing of
Web sites added since the publication of this report.

The Review Commission is the independent federal agency that resolves legal disputes
between private employers and another agency, the U.S. Department of Labor’s
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), over allegations that work place
safety or health violations exist. The Review Commission frequently receives requests from
congressional staffers with constituent complaints about working conditions. These types
of requests usually require information from the agency that inspects work places and
promulgates the regulations covering job safety and health conditions. That agency is
OSHA. As an adjudicatory agency, the Review Commission’s involvement in work place
issues begins after an inspection has been contested by an employer or employees’ group.
Three publications that OSHRC produces are A Guide to Procedures, Rules of
Procedure of the OSHRC, and Guide to E-Z Trial Procedures.
