Summary

Sets who pays for printing and binding costs for reports from federal executive departments, independent agencies, or establishments that, before March 30, 1906, were paid from congressional or other appropriations. The agency that made the report must pay for getting it ready to print, like pictures, layout, and making printing plates.

Copies given out outside Congress or federal agencies are charged under other rules.
