Each Catalog lists more than 200 free and low-cost federal publications on a variety of consumer topics. Before publishing each quarterly Catalog , FCIC reviews the booklets listed for timeliness and relevance. When new issues arise, or old information needs to be updated, FCIC helps the appropriate federal agency revise current publications or develop new ones to offer the public. Although the majority of booklets listed in the Consumer Information Catalog are developed solely by federal agencies, the Catalog also includes unbiased, objective consumer information produced jointly by government and private industry. The Catalog is free.
