TITLE 44--PUBLIC PRINTING AND DOCUMENTS
CHAPTER 17--DISTRIBUTION AND SALE OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS
Sec. 1701. Publications for public distribution to be
distributed by the Public Printer; mailing lists
Money appropriated by any Act may not be used for services in an
executive department or other Government establishment at the District
of Columbia, in the work of addressing, wrapping, mailing, or otherwise
dispatching a publication for public distribution, except maps, weather
reports, and weather cards issued by them or for the purchase of
material or supplies to be used in this work. The Public Printer shall
perform this work at the Government Printing Office. The head of an
executive department, independent office, and establishment of the
Government at the District of Columbia, shall furnish from time to time
to the Public Printer mailing lists, in convenient form, and changes in
them, or penalty mail slips, for use in the public distribution of
publications issued by the department or establishment. The Public
Printer may furnish copies of a publication only in accordance with law
or the instruction of the head of the department or establishment
issuing the publication.
This section does not apply to orders, instructions, directions,
notices, or circulars of information printed for and issued by an
executive department or other Government establishment or to the
distribution of public documents by Senators or Members of the House of
Representatives or to the Senate Service Department, House of
Representatives Publications Distribution Service, and document rooms of
the Senate or House of Representatives.

Historical and Revision Notes
Based on 44 U.S. Code, 1964 ed., Sec. 95 (Aug. 23, 1912, ch. 350,
Sec. 8, 37 Stat. 414; July 2, 1954, ch. 455, title I, Sec. 101, 68 Stat.
397).
``House of Representatives Publications Distribution Service'' is
substituted for ``House Folding Room'' because of the change of name
under authority of Public Law 88-652.
The term ``executive department, independent office, and
establishment of the Government'' is substituted for ``executive
department and other Government establishment'' for uniformity.
