I'm not sure which is more newsworthy--the establishment of an online-only replacement for Weekly Compilation of Presidential documents or GPO neglecting to provide RSS access to it.

Availability and Official Status of the Compilation of Presidential Documents

"This final rule establishes a new official updated daily online-only publication entitled the "Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents." The paper edition of the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents will no longer be issued. The annual edition of the Public Papers of the President will be based on the text of the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents. The price for subscription to the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents has also been removed from the regulations, as this publication will no longer exist and the online Daily Compilation is available free of charge on the Internet. This rule also revises the regulatory text to make it more readable and consistent with plain language principles."

* "The Office of the Federal Register (OFR), which is part of the National Archives, has created a new publication, to be called the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents. The Daily Compilation will appear on the Government Printing Office's (GPO) new Federal Digital System (FDsys) January 20, 2009, to coincide with the incoming President's term of office. The web site will be accessible via http://www.presidentialdocuments.gov by January 20. The online Daily Compilation will replace the printed Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents."
