Shipping Lists Now on the Federal Bulletin Board and the World Wide Web Depository library shipping lists for all formats are now available free of charge via the Internet or by dial-in access on GPO's Federal Bulletin Board. The depository shipping list files will be uploaded on Wednesdays and Fridays. This service begins with shipping lists dated January 2, 1997 forward. The depository shipping lists on the Federal Bulletin Board are in .dbf format and may only be downloaded; they may not be viewed. These shipping list files were created from source data captured prior to physical distribution. The files are subject to change as modifications are needed prior to physical distribution. Corrected shipping lists will be posted on the FBB, but they will overwrite the original shipping list. Any further changes made after a corrected shipping list has been produced and uploaded will be noted in the Administrative Notes Technical Supplement.
