Learn More📜Special Publication Procedures During Funding Hiatus
During an appropriations lapse, the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) publishes documents directly related to the performance of governmental functions necessary to address imminent threats to the safety of human life or protection of property and may publish documents related to funded programs if delaying publication until the end of the appropriations lapse would prevent or significantly damage the execution of funded functions at the agency.
