The Federal Digital System, or FDsys.gov is the online system replacing the 15-year-old GPO Access as the Government Printing Office's central source for its official government publications. The migration of document collections from GPO Access to FDsys should be completed this year. The list of collections to be added by June 30 includes the Constitution of the United States: Analysis and Interpretation and the Congressional Pictorial Directory.
Several documents discussing the state of FDsys development in detail have been released:
- The GPO Office of the Inspector General has released a critical report titled Federal Digital System (FDsys) Independent Verification And Validation – Tenth Quarter Report On Risk Management, Issues, And Traceability (March 2010).
- GPO has released minutes from an April 7th meeting with FDsys stakeholders, FDsys Program Review.
In other news, President Obama announced his intent to nominate William J. Boarman as the 26th Public Printer, the head of GPO. The nomination was received in the Senate on April 19th.
