Federal Government Shutdown

As of midnight, Tuesday, September 30, 2025, the necessary funding to continue Federal Government operations has not been approved by the Congress and the President. The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has shut down until funding is approved.

Under a shutdown, GPO employees may only work on activities directly related to the legislative process and on activities for an orderly shutdown and to protect property and assets.

  • GovInfo will continue to process and post congressional materials; existing content will continue to be available.
  • The Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) will be available for searching but will not be updated until the Government reopens. GPO cannot ensure that all PURLs pointing to other Federal agency resources will work during this time, nor can GPO staff fix broken PURLs during this time.
  • DiscoverGov will be available for searching, but the Federal Government databases it searches may not be updated until the Government reopens.
  • GPO.gov, FDLP.gov, and Ben’s Guide to the U.S. Government will be available but will not be updated until the Government reopens.
  • Federal Register services on GovInfo will be limited to documents that protect life and property.
  • The U.S. Government Bookstore will be available for searching and placing orders, but orders will not be fulfilled until the Government reopens.
