Subject: GPO Circular Letter 436
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 11:11:41 -0500



Yesterday, GPO issued its first Circular Letter electronically.  We sent an
e-mail message with Circular Letter 436 as a PDF file because some offices
desired a copy that looked like an original with the GPO seal, etc., and
they didn't have access to the Internet to print a copy from GPO's Web site.
In an attempt to be helpful, since this was our first Circular Letter sent
electronically, we also attached a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader for those
who didn't have it installed.  These e-mail messages were only sent to those
people who had e-mailed or  telephoned  (in response to Circular Letter 435)
requesting to be put on our e-mail list to receive these letters.
Apparently the size of our file caused problems for some of our customers'
computer systems and many messages were returned as  "undeliverable due to
file size."  We sincerely regret any problems this may have caused you or
your Systems Administrators.  In the event you did not receive our e-mail,
or could not retrieve the letter, a copy follows below.
 
If you have access to the Internet, you can access this circular letter at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/customer-service/cir436.html

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
Washington, DC 20401
 
TO:  Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government

SUBJECT:  Changes in the Cost to Publish in the Federal Register and the
Code of Federal Regulations

This is to inform you of changes in the page rates charged for publishing in
the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations effective January
1, 1999.  Most of the Government Printing Office's (GPO) pre-press work is
eliminated when processing agency submissions of fully coded and validated
documents that meet requirements for input to GPO's MicroComp composition
software.  Because of this, we will offer a special rate which will be in
effect until GPO becomes fully operational with SGML-structured documents.
At that time, the higher rate* for files not SGML-structured will be placed
in effect due to the conversions that will be required to arrive at
SGML-compliant documents.  A circular letter will be issued in advance of
implementation of the higher rates.  Effective January 1, 1999, the
following rates will be implemented:
    
Billing         Description       Page Rate   Column Rate   
Code
     
M   Manuscript...................... $456        $152
C   Camera Copy.....................  456         152
D   Magnetic Tape...................  426         142
U   Unformatted, ASCII..............  426         142     
P   Word Perfect, diskette..........  426         142
W   Word Perfect from templates.....  426         142
F   Fully coded and validated
      January 1, 1999...............  321         107
      When SGML implemented*........  393         131
S   SGML-coded and validated........  300         100
      CFRs............................ 71         n/a
 
If you require assistance in making the conversion to more economical
formats, or have any other technical questions, please contact the Graphic
Systems Development Division on 202-512-0676. For other questions, please
contact your GPO Account Representative.

Sincerely,


ROBERT G. COX
Superintendent, Departmental
  Account Representative Division
