Speed Up Federal Register Publication
The Office of the Federal Register must work to reduce publication delays by modernizing computer systems and eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy so final, signed regulatory documents publish faster. The order notes publication can currently take days or weeks and sets reporting deadlines (within 15 days and by August 22, 2025) to track improvements.
Review and Adjust Publication Fees
The order directs a review of Federal Register fee schedules within 45 days to ensure fees reflect actual publication costs and account for efficiencies; the Archivist and GPO must file a report calculating the percentage difference between any proposed new fee schedule and the prior one. The document states agencies are currently charged $151–$174 per column of text to publish each rule.
