Contents

In essence, the Government Gazette is a way for the government to announce changes to government requirements, policies and guidance to the public. Publication of documents in the Federal Register also constitutes constructive notice, and its contents are judicially noticed.

  • Final rules

Format

Each weekly issue of the printed Government Gazette is organized into categories:

  • Presidential Documents (
    proclamations
    )
  • Rules and Regulations (including policy statements and interpretations of rules by federal agencies)
