GPO previously announced the phase out of microfiche distribution in the FDLP. The first microfiche contract, which covers the Code of Federal Regulations and CFR Index, ended on March 31, 2022.

Libraries that select the CFR or CFR Index in microfiche will note that the final complete edition issued is the 2020 edition. Microfiche will continue to be distributed until the content has been fully converted by the vendor.

A handful of content from the 2021 edition was issued in microfiche. Libraries are not required to retain microfiche for the CFR 2021 edition, as a complete 2021 edition will not be available in that format.

Depository coordinators who want tangible copies of the CFR need to select the paper format. Individual CFR titles are now available for selection.
