Rebooting the Government Printing Office: Keeping America Informed in the Digital Age

The conference report to the 2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act mandated that the National Academy of Public Administration (the Academy) conduct a broad operational review of GPO to

1. update past studies of GPO operations;
2. examine the feasibility of GPO continuing to perform executive branch printing; and
3. identify additional cost saving operational alternatives beyond those that GPO has already implemented.

The Academy formed a five-member Panel of Fellows to conduct a ten-month study of the agency’s current role, its operations, and its future direction.
