On January 9, 2008, Office of Management and Budget Director Jim Nussle
announced that the Budget of the United States Government would be
released in a web-only format for Fiscal Year 2009 on February 4th,
2008. Mr. Nussle cited the cost savings of such a move as the reason for
the discontinuance of paper copies of the Budget. 

GPO wishes to assure the members of the Federal Depository Library
Program that we are committed to keeping the various Budget publications
in printed format. To this end, OMB has agreed to provide GPO with files
of the Budget documents that will be put to press for the purpose of
dissemination to the public through the FDLP and Publication &
Information Sales Program. We intend to ship these tangible copies of
the Budget in conjunction with the February 4th internet release.

The class numbers, titles, and item numbers involved in this
announcement by OMB are:

PREX 2.8:         Budget of the United States Government; 0853
PREX 2.8/1:       Budget of the United States Government; 0853-C
