Introduction

Please note the following information is provided by GPO. To get learn more, please visit New Limited Printed Distribution page. As GPO moves to a digital Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), GPO will reduce tangible distribution to Federal depository libraries (FDLs). The number of titles and copies available for print distribution will decrease as GPO works to deliver permanent no-fee public access to digital content for people seeking U.S. Government information. This new, limited print distribution model acknowledges the different print needs and requirements of the National Collection Service Areas (NCSAs). Cost savings on printing, postage, and processing will allow GPO’s Library Services & Content Management (LSCM) to increase investment in digital content management initiatives that serve FDLs and patrons’ Government information needs.

Criteria

Titles on this list were selected based on a mix of criteria including statutory requirements for the title to be printed, popularly selected serial titles, non-ephemeral maps where the online version lacks sufficient resolution, time-series statistical data, titles of a reference nature, and where the print version is the legally controlling version in some jurisdictions.

Titles on the list are distributed in varying quantities, including an unlimited quantity, 50 copies, and 20 copies.

The PDT List is not static and may change over time. An example of this is if a publishing Federal agency discontinues a title or determines a title is only to be available as a digital publication.

In order to be eligible to receive print, your federal depository library must meet these minimum requirements:

• Follow 44 U.S.C. § 1911 requirement to retain for the first five years, but also agree not to supersede or electronically substitute during that time. 
• Commit to offer nationally in FDLP eXchange, if weeding after the five-year retention commitment has been met.
• Commit to catalog and make all print receipts discoverable via the library’s integrated library system (ILS) to support interlibrary loan or in-library access to the print format.
