Publication Procedures for Federal Register Documents During a Funding Hiatus

During an appropriations lapse, the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) publishes documents that meet an exception under the Antideficiency Act (ADA). It is the responsibility of the agency submitting a document for publication during an appropriations lapse to provide an exception letter with the document that includes a justification and a certification that the document is authorized under an exception to the Antideficiency Act.
