Summary
U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO)
government legacy
GPO-NET is the network of the U.S. Government Publishing Office, the federal
agency responsible for producing and distributing the official publications of
the United States government.
What it's used for
- Public access to official federal documents: the Congressional Record, the Federal Register, bills, statutes, and agency publications.
- Agency infrastructure supporting printing, digital publishing, and secure credential production.
Notable
- Government address space, and unusually public-facing for a federal agency — GPO's whole mandate is to publish, so much of what sits behind this ASN is meant to be read by citizens.
- The agency was known as the Government Printing Office for most of its history and was renamed the Government Publishing Office in 2014, reflecting the shift from paper to digital distribution.
Interesting
- GPO's presence on the early internet was part of a broader push to put the official record of government online, which is why a publishing agency holds an AS number this low.
