This law requires most federal printing, binding, and blank-book work to be done at the Government Publishing Office. There are limited exceptions for urgent work and certain field printing plants.
All printing, binding, and blank-book work for Congress, the Executive Office, the Judiciary (except the Supreme Court), and every executive department, independent office, and government establishment must be done at the Government Publishing Office.
There are two exceptions: (1) work the Joint Committee on Printing considers urgent or necessary to have done somewhere else, and (2) printing done at an agency's own field printing plants, or bought using an agency's contract field-printing funds, if the Joint Committee on Printing approves it.
No printing or binding may happen at the Government Publishing Office unless a law specifically authorizes it.
All printing, binding, and blank-book work for Congress, the Executive Office, the Judiciary, other than the Supreme Court of the United States, and every executive department, independent office and establishment of the Government, shall be done at the Government Publishing Office, except—
classes of work the Joint Committee on Printing considers to be urgent or necessary to have done elsewhere; and
printing in field printing plants operated by an executive department, independent office or establishment, and the procurement of printing by an executive department, independent office or establishment from allotments for contract field printing, if approved by the Joint Committee on Printing.
Printing or binding may be done at the Government Publishing Office only when authorized by law.
