Transmitting documents and IBR requests
Documents for publication
We must have a valid, original signature that we can authenticate before we can accept a document for publication. The only digitally-signed document that meets that criteria is an electronically-signed Word file sent through the webportal (opton 1). If you (or your agency) can't electronically-sign documents or use the webportal, contact ofrtechgroup@gpo.gov. We may have a solution that will allow for electronic signature or use of the webportal. If we cannot work out a solution, you must send the paper package (option 2).
Option 1 (preferred method)
Submit document through the webportal
- Request an account
- Learn how to sign documents
- Learn how to submit documents
- Read more about the process (DDH, Appendix B)
Option 2 ( if option 1 not possible)
Send physical document to our office. Include:
- 3 originals or 1 original and 2 certified copies
- CD with Word file (.docx) of the document
- Letter certifying that the document on the disc matches the original
IBR Requests
We cannot accept paper materials for IBR approval under OMB Memorandum M-19-21.Release 1-2022 to the IBR Handbook contains the procedures for transmitting requests for IBR approval. See How Do I Request Approval for an IBR? or release section VIII for more information.
