Guidance for Federal Depository Libraries 

Relinquishing Regional Designation 

Background 

Since 1970 only eight libraries have 

relinquished their regional depository library 

designation. Of these, seven remained in the 

Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) 

as selective depository libraries. Three of the 

relinquishments have come in the last two 

years. 

During April and May 2008, a survey was 

conducted of directors of regional depository 

libraries. With a 100% response, it was 

learned that ten of 52, or 19.6%, agreed or 

strongly agreed that they were considering 

relinquishing their regional depository status 

and considering becoming a selective 

depository library. Another 5.9% were 

neutral on the issue but indicated that if there 

was a negative impact on their current state, 

they would also consider becoming a 

selective depository library. Of the ten, nine 

remain as regionals today. 

At its October 2008 meeting, Regional 

Government Information Librarians (REGIL) 

discussed this issue and asked the 

Government Printing Office (GPO) to 

provide guidance for libraries investigating 

the possibility of giving up their regional 

designation yet wishing to remain in the 

FDLP as a selective. While GPO hopes this is 

not a trend, this document offers such 

guidance. 

Prior to Relinquishment 

The decision to relinquish one’s regional 

designation should not be made quickly or in 

a vacuum. It is important that GPO is 

informed at the earliest possible time of your 

thinking about a change in designation. If 

there is another regional in your state, they 

should be informed at the same time. Six 

months notice is appropriate. Additionally 

the following actions must be taken: 

 State library agency must be informed; 

 Selective depository libraries served by 

the regional must be informed; 

 Discussions of the ramifications of the 

potential change must take place with 

the impacted selectives, GPO, and, if 

applicable, the other regional in the 

state; and 

 Both of the state’s Senators must be 

informed of the potential status change, 

as all regional libraries are designated 

by senators. 

When the Decision is Final 

Once the decision is made to relinquish your 

regional designation, the following steps must 

be taken before final approval is granted by 

the Superintendent of Documents: 

 Submit a letter to the Superintendent 

of Documents requesting the change in 

your designation from regional to 

selective; 

 Provide GPO with a plan that includes a 

timeline for the change, the effective 

date, and any strategies for extensive 

weeding or change in collection focus; 

 Copy the documentation sent to GPO to 

the state’s other regional depository 

library (if there is one); 

 Notify all selective libraries currently 

served by your library of the intent to 

change designations and inform them of 

the associated timelines; and 

2 
AN-v29-#11-12-12/15/08 

 Notify the offices of your state’s U.S. 

Senators of the final decision. 

Once your request is approved, you will 

receive an official letter from the 

Superintendent of Documents indicating this 

and the letter will include directions for 

moving forward. 

What’s Required after Relinquishment 

The letter from the Superintendent of 

Documents will include instructions and a 

point of contact with whom you will work 

through this process. This person may be 

from GPO, from a selective in the state acting 

as an agent of GPO, or from the remaining 

regional in the state, if there is one. Effective 

the date of the change in designation, these 

actions must be taken: 

 Deselect publications that are 

distributed only to regional depository 

libraries; and 

 Review current item selections and 

deselect at least one of the item 

numbers for materials received in dual 

tangible formats – selectives are 

allowed to receive only one tangible 

format. 

Disposition of Materials 

As publications distributed through the FDLP 

remain the property of the U.S. Government, 

GPO has the authority to require libraries to 

return materials to the GPO. If the 

publications are needed for other purposes, 

e.g., digitization or transfer to another 

depository library, this authority will be 

exercised. If invoked, this will be coordinated 

between GPO, your point of contact, and 

your library. 

Regional depository libraries are not required 

to dispose of any materials when they 

relinquish their regional designation. If, 

however, the library wishes to do so, the 

disposal requirements will be established 

collaboratively between the appropriate 

parties using the regional’s existing 

procedures as a basis. The requirements may 

include, but are not limited to: 

 Time frames; 

 Responsibility for the transfer of 

materials, e.g., costs, mode of 

transporting; 

 Listing publications; and 

 Offering materials to other depositories 

or libraries in the state or nation. 

Per 44 USC §1911, “Depository libraries not 

served by a regional depository, or that are 

regional depositories themselves, shall retain 

Government publications permanently ...” 

No regional, no discards.

Beta Authenticated Congressional Bills 

Application Released 

GPO has released a Beta Authenticated 

Congressional Bills application on GPO 

Access at 

<http://fdlpdev.gpo.gov/bills/index.html>. 

GPO's Authentication initiative focuses on 

establishing GPO as the trusted information 

disseminator and providing the assurance that 

an electronic document has not been altered 

since GPO disseminated it. 

The Beta Authenticated Congressional Bills 

application provides authenticated PDF files 

for a sample set of Congressional Bills from 

the 110th Congress. GPO has signed and 

certified the House and Senate bills (PDF 

files) within this application as part of GPO's 

initiative to reassure users that the online 

documents are official and authentic. For 

more information on GPO's authentication 

initiative, visit 

<http://www.gpoaccess.gov/authentication>. 

GPO and GAO Announce New Partnership 

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) 

and the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO) have entered a new partnership to 

provide permanent public access to the GAO 

Reports and GAO Comptroller General 

Decisions databases that are available on the 

GAO Web site. 

The GAO Reports database, available at 

<http://www.gao.gov/docsearch/repandtest.ht

ml>, contains reports on audits, surveys, 

investigations, and evaluations of Federal 

programs conducted by GAO. The content in 

this database dates back to 1970 and earlier. 

The Comptroller General Decisions database, 

available at 

<http://www.gao.gov/legal/decisions.html>, 

contains decisions and opinions issued by the 

Comptroller General in areas of Federal law 

such as appropriations, bid protests, and 

Federal agency rulemaking. It also contains 

historic material dating back to 1970. GAO is 

actively working on digitizing its legacy 

collection so historic material will continue to 

be added to the two databases. 

The content contained in the GAO Reports 

and Comptroller General Decisions databases 

is currently duplicated on GPO Access. With 

a partnership to ensure permanent public 

access to the content on the GAO Web site, 

this duplication is no longer necessary. GPO 

will maintain archives of both databases as 

they were at the time the agreement was 

signed, but no new content will be added to 

the GPO Access versions of these databases. 

This agreement will eliminate duplication of 

effort on these databases, as well as 

minimizing version control issues. Under the 

partnership agreement, if for any reason GAO 

is not able to provide access to these 

materials, GPO will resume the 

responsibility. 

GPO and GAO have a long history of 

collaborating to provide the Federal 

depository library community and the public 

with access to GAO materials. GPO looks 

forward to continuing this productive 

relationship with the new partnership.

AN-v29-#11-12-12/15/08 

FDLP Emblem or Signage Is Required for 

Depositories

The FDLP emblem or signage on or near 

depository library buildings is used to 

demonstrate that Federal depository libraries 

provide free, public access to U.S. 

Government information resources. GPO’s 

ongoing review of the 2007 Biennial Survey 

of Depository Libraries indicates that dozens 

of libraries and selective housing sites do not 

have the emblem or signage posted on or near 

their library buildings. 

GPO would like to remind Federal depository 

libraries of the following: 

It is important that all depository libraries 

“post signage or the depository emblem in a 

prominent location, preferably visible from 

the exterior of the library, indicating the 

library is a Federal depository and 

government information resources are 

available for use by the general public 

without charge.” Federal Depository Library 

Handbook, pages 4-8 and 4-15. 

Also, for depositories with any selective 

housing agreements, it is important that all 

selective housing sites “post the depository 

emblem in a prominent location, preferably 

visible from the exterior of the library, 

indicating that government information 

products can be used by the general public 

without charge. Your depository library 

should provide the selective housing site with 

the free decals.” Federal Depository Library 

Handbook, pages 9-12 and 9-14. 

This information is also repeated in the 

Federal Depository Library Handbook 

Appendix B: Important for Library 

Administrators. 

Please contact GPO if you have any 

questions. We are always happy to discuss 

your individual library situation so that we 

may help you identify ways to fulfill FDLP 

requirements. 

Free decals and other promotional materials 

are available from GPO and may be ordered 

online at <http://www.fdlp.gov/order/index23.html>. The Depository Library Decal is 

available with a sticky side on the front or 

back so that you may place the decal inside or 

outside a window. You may also affix the 

decal to an information stand or other nonglass surface outside of the library. If you 

develop your own signage, it should include 

the emblem and statutory language that 

appears on the Depository Library Decals. 

If you have questions or comments, please 

use the askGPO help service at: 

<http://www.gpoaccess.gov/help>. When 

submitting a question, please choose the 

category "Federal Depository Libraries" and 

the subcategory “Public Access Issues” in 

order to ensure that your question is routed to 

the correct area.

International Scholar Studies 

Federal Depository Library Program 

at GPO 

A research scholar from Japan will spend a year 

at the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) 

and the Library of Congress to learn how the 

U.S. government makes the documents of its 

democracy available to the public. Professor 

Nobuhiro Igawa hopes to take what he learns at 

GPO and propose a similar program for the 

citizens of Japan. Professor Igawa is from the 

International University of Kagoshima, Japan 

and will study the Federal Depository Library 

Program (FDLP). The FDLP is made up of 

approximately 1,250 depository libraries 

throughout the country. GPO works with the 

library community to provide free, open and 

permanent access to government documents. 

Public Printer Robert C. Tapella, Professor Nobuhiro Igawa 

and Acting Superintendent of Documents Ric Davis 

“I am honored to study and learn how the 

United States disseminates government 

information to its citizens,” said Professor 

Nobuhiro Igawa. “If I could introduce a system 

similar to the Federal Depository Library 

Program in Japan, it would benefit all citizens 

who want to learn more about government 

information.” 

Professor Igawa's visit is being facilitated by 

the Library of Congress, where he has already 

performed some analysis on production, 

dissemination and use of federal public 

information in the Library’s Government 

Documents Section. Following his studies at 

GPO, he will return for further research at the 

Library. GPO's Library Services and Content 

Management staff will provide introductory 

and advanced topics for his research. In 

addition to conducting his own research, 

Professor Igawa will also study the many 

challenges facing the FDLP and provide a 

fresh analysis. 

"I am thrilled that Professor Igawa is spending 

a year with GPO studying how the agency 

keeps America informed through the FDLP,” 

said Acting Superintendent of Documents Ric 

Davis. “The GPO staff looks forward to a year 

of information sharing, collaboration, and 

learning. We are excited to help Professor 

Igawa learn about the FDLP's strong tradition 

of safeguarding the public's right to free access 

to Government information."

AN-v29-#11-12-12/15/08 

Federal Depository Library Directory Display 

Enhanced with Additional Fields 

As of December 1, 2008, in response to 

requests from the depository community, 

more fields will display in the FDLD. These 

will include the Library Director's title and 

name and the Depository Coordinator's name 

and telephone number. These fields will be 

available to view, print, and export for both 

depository library users and for public users. 

OPAL for Everyone: Share Your Knowledge 

Depository library staff are encouraged to 

present educational and training sessions for 

the benefit of the depository community 

through OPAL, a Web conferencing service. 

GPO welcomes proposals on any aspect of 

U.S. Government information, Federal 

Depository Library Program issues, or 

depository library operations and 

management. 

Most GPO OPAL sessions are recorded and 

archived at <http://www.opalonline.org/archiveGPO.htm>, allowing 

depository staff who cannot travel to 

depository conferences the opportunity to 

share their expertise with a large group of 

their peers. 

Two of the most popular OPAL presentations 

to date include “The Conservation Kitchen: 

Basic Tools for Any Preservation Recipe,” 

presented on May 20, 2008 by Diane 

Hutchins and Marcea Horst from the 

Washington State Library and “Cooking with 

Content - Creating Successful OPAL 

Presentations,” presented in October 2008 by 

Diane Hutchins from the Washington State 

Library. Both of these presentations can be 

viewed in the archive.

So if you are already doing training at your 

library, or if you have an idea for an 

educational session, let us know! Just fill out 

the Online Educational Program Proposal 

Form at

AN-v29-#11-12-12/15/08 

New Item Number Procedure Implemented for 

Selected Congressional Publications 

GPO has begun to create separate item 

numbers for the online only (EL) format of 

U.S. Congressional Committee publications 

known as "Y 4s", or those listed as "Hearings, 

Prints, Miscellaneous Publications" in the 

List of Classes. This does not apply to 

Committee Rules or Calendars or other 

Congressional publications. Separate item 

numbers are already available for paper (P) 

and microfiche (MF). These changes to the 

item numbers do not affect SuDocs 

classification stems. All changes will be 

announced in WebTech Notes and 

Administrative Notes Technical Supplement. 

For example: 

Select Committee on Intelligence (Senate) 

Y 4.IN 8/19: Hearings, Prints, and 

Miscellaneous Publications 

(P) ESSENTIAL TITLE 1009-B-07 

Y 4.IN 8/19: Hearings, Prints, and 

Miscellaneous Publications 

(MF) ESSENTIAL TITLE 1009-C-07 

Will now include: 

Y 4.IN 8/19: Hearings, Prints, and 

Miscellaneous Publications 

(EL) ESSENTIAL TITLE 1009-D07 

GPO sees two significant potential impacts 

on libraries from this procedure: 

1. Selective libraries may opt to drop from 

their item selection profile tangible 

Hearings, Prints, & Miscellaneous 

Publications. This may affect a state or 

region's access to these types of 

publications in the future. 

Libraries are reminded that they may 

not claim a print or microfiche format if 

they do not select it. Alternatively, 

libraries that do not normally select 

these publications may choose to 

acquire them for their electronic 

collection. 

2. Selective libraries may opt to assess 

their existing tangible Hearings, Prints, 

& Miscellaneous Publications 

collections and request official 

substitution to withdraw tangible 

versions in favor of providing access 

through the electronic versions. This 

will also affect a state or region's access 

to these publications. 

New cataloging policy and impact: 

• It is the policy of GPO to create 

separate cataloging records for each 

individual format of a publication. The 

single record approach is no longer 

being used. 

• As a result, libraries getting their 

catalog records directly from GPO that 

do not select the new EL formats of the 

Hearings, Prints, & Miscellaneous 

Publications will no longer receive the 

PURL or URL in their catalog records. 

If a library wishes to have PURLs in 

their catalog records, they will likely 

need to modify their tangible format 

records by adding an 856/PURL field to 

the record. For more information, see 

the article entitled "Separate Record 

Cataloging Policy" at 

<http://www.fdlp.gov/catalogingnews/new-cataloging-p.html>. 

8 
AN-v29-#11-12-12/15/08 

• GPO continues to distribute hearings 

and prints from earlier Congresses as 

they become available and will process 

these incoming publications using the 

separate record cataloging approach and 

assign new item numbers. 

What it means for item selection profiles: 

• If your library currently selects either a 

P or MF format (or both P and MF if a 

regional depository library), a new item 

number for the EL format will 

automatically be added to your item 

selection profile. If you do not want to 

select the EL format, you must deselect 

those item numbers. 

• Selectives may select one tangible 

format in addition to the electronic 

format. 

• You may deselect any unwanted item 

numbers at any time. Drops become 

effective within 2 or 3 business days. 

• Additions to your item selection profile 

may be made during the next Item 

Selection Update Cycle in mid-year 

2009. Adds will take effect on October 

1, 2009. 

• If your library wants to rely only on the 

electronic format, it may drop the P or 

MF format, however it should have 

copy cataloging procedures for the EL 

format in place prior to the drop, and/or 

have commercial vendor services 

arranged for EL records, if applicable. 

Otherwise a gap may occur in 

collections between when tangible 

distribution ceases and electronic access 

begins. (Note: regional depository 

libraries must select at least one 

tangible format.) 

• Libraries that purchase cataloging 

records from commercial vendors may 

wish to contact their vendor to arrange 

for the addition or deselection of these 

new EL item numbers from their batch 

loads. 

• It is not sufficient to just select an EL 

item number and not provide access to 

individual publications through your 

catalog or Web site. 

Libraries that choose to provide 

electronic only access to Hearings, 

Prints, & Miscellaneous publications 

should plan on promoting the electronic 

collection through their catalogs and/or 

Web pages. 

Caveats on dropping a tangible format 

item number in favor of an online only 

(EL) format: 

• Some Committees do not issue 

electronic equivalents of their 

Hearings, Prints, & Miscellaneous 

Publications. A separate item number 

for the online only format will not be 

created for these publications. 

• Some Hearings, Prints, & 

Miscellaneous Publications are 

incomplete online. The Congressional 

Committee determines if the 

publication is disseminated online. 

Online and tangible formats do not 

necessarily have a one to one 

correlation; there are tangible versions 

of Hearings, Prints, & Miscellaneous 

Publications that have no online 

equivalent. If a library needs to 

provide access to all Hearings, Prints, 

& Miscellaneous Publications for a 

particular Congressional Committee, 

selecting the EL item number will 

9 
AN-v29-#11-12-12/15/08 

merely supplement existing 

collections, but cannot replace it. 

• If you choose to deselect an item 

number associated with the paper 

format, deselection takes 

approximately 2-3 days. Deselection 

of microfiche typically takes a bit 

longer, approximately 1-2 weeks, as 

we work to notify the microfiche 

contractors and they make changes to 

their records. 

Substitution considerations: 

• Selective depository libraries may 

officially substitute publications when 

the EL version is complete, official, 

and permanently accessible. 

• Because online electronic Hearings, 

Prints, Miscellaneous Publications is 

not a complete "series", libraries must 

verify the completeness of each 

individual Hearing, Print, & 

Miscellaneous Publication in the 

electronic format before substituting 

them. GPO suggests you compare the 

full-text of each publication you have 

identified for potential substitution by 

identifying them on GPO Access or in 

the Catalog of U.S. Government 

Publications. Compare the pagination 

of PDF versions and examine the 

electronic file to determine if all 

images, tables, and other graphics are 

included. If the electronic version is 

incomplete, it cannot be used for 

official substitution. 

• The superseding instructions must be 

followed. Libraries must ask for 

permission from their regional library 

to substitute Hearings, Prints, and 

Miscellaneous Publications that have 

not been superseded per the 

Superseded List (very few are ever 

updated, revised or corrected). 

• Regionals may not substitute P or MF 

with EL formats. 

• Depository libraries should consider 

patron characteristics, usage patterns, 

community needs, research 

requirements, and the library's 

collection development policy when 

determining which format of these 

Congressional publications best meets 

the U.S. Government information 

needs of the library users. Libraries 

may select one tangible format in 

addition to the electronic format if 

they so choose. 

If changes are made to the House and/or 

Senate committee structures with the 111th 

Congress, GPO will make corresponding 

revisions in the List of Classes.
