FY2010 Budget Rolls Off the Presses at GPO

January 27, 2010--Bob Tapella, the 25th Public Printer of the United States, joined Government Printing Office employees to mark the printing of the FY 2011 budget. The four-volume set weighs approximately 10 pounds. Between 7,000 and 8,000 copies of each volume were printed for a total quantity of 30,968.

According to its website, the GPO is "transforming the largest information processing, printing and distribution facility in the world into a digital factory." One example of this is FDsys (Federal Digital System) GPO's "one-stop site for authentic published government information." FDsys is the successor to GPO Access and has enhanced searching and other capabilities. It was launched in Jan. 2009 after several years of development, and GPO is still in the process of migrating information.
