GPO Doubles Congressionally Mandated Reports on GovInfo

U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) now makes more than 1,000 Congressionally Mandated Reports from 90 Federal agencies available on GovInfo, the one-stop site for authentic, published information for all three branches of the Federal Government. This total has doubled since GPO announced reaching 500 Congressionally Mandated Reports in October 2024 and has continued to grow since GPO first made Congressionally Mandated Reports available online in December 2023.

“Exceeding 1,000 Congressionally Mandated Reports—doubling the number that were available just 18 months ago—demonstrates our momentum in making these reports available,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern. “We thank our Federal agency partners for their continued efforts to comply with this requirement and GPO’s Library Services and Content Management and GovInfo teams for making the submission and discovery process easier for our partners and our patrons. This milestone reflects GPO’s continued commitment to our vision of an America Informed."

Congressionally Mandated Reports offer information on a variety of topics, including Veterans’ medical care, health care coverage and access, marine and coastal resources, land use and conservation, and small business. Members of the public can browse the reports by agency or topic and may download a searchable table of the reports available. The reports are available for the public to access at https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/CMR.

Federal agencies are required by law to electronically submit Congressionally Mandated Reports to GPO after first submitting them to Congress or any required committee or subcommittee of Congress through existing processes.

• The reports are published and made available to the public on GPO’s online system of access, GovInfo.
• Agencies can sign up for a submission portal account to submit reports directly to GPO. To begin the process, authorized agency personnel should visit the Congressionally Mandated Reports Submission Portal at https://ask.gpo.gov/s/CMR.
