The Government Printing Office has flipped the "on" switch for its
next-generation digital repository for publicly accessible government
documents. The Federal Digital System (FDsys) now offers the public
access documents from all three branches of government through a
single portal .

With FDsys going live, the federal government has taken a big step
toward becoming a digital government, at least as far as the ability
to designate electronic documents as official records. Agencies and
Congress can submit their official electronic papers to FDsys with
digital certificates, allowing GPO to maintain a chain-of-custody that
can be traced back to their originators. Long-term archiving issues
have also been addressed with the new system.

...

FDsys will replace GPO's current digital document repository,
GPOAccess. The full switchover should happen by the middle of this
year. ...

It will keep all documents that agencies and Congress send to GPO to
printing and distribution. It will also permanently archive noteworthy
documents that agencies post on their own Web sites, as well as
important historical documents.

More than 154,000 documents are currently available through the site,
with more being added each day. FDsys now hosts congressional bills,
documents and hearing testimonies, as well documents from the Federal
Register and bills and laws enacted since the 104th Congress.
