UPDATE: Public Inspection – January 16

UPDATE: January 27

The official Public Inspection site, www.ofr.gov was fixed in the early evening on January 16 and has been working without issue since. We want to thank everyone for their patience as we addressed the matter.

You can keep up with Public Inspection updates by subscribing to them on www.federalregister.gov or following us on Twitter.

Our official site, www.ofr.gov, is still down due to technical difficulties. We have been able to update the Public Inspection list at https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection. We are working with the Government Publishing Office to resolve the issues with www.ofr.gov as quickly as possible. The Public Inspection desk is still available at our office at 800 North Capitol Street, NW, Washington, DC 20002.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will post notifications here, on our Facebook and Twitter accounts when it has been posted online.
