# Office of the Federal Register *Office of the United States government within the National Archives and Records Administration* The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) is a federal office housed in the [[National Archives and Records Administration]].[^1] It publishes several works, including the *Federal Register*, the *Code of Federal Regulations*, the *Public Papers of the Presidents*, and the *United States [[Statutes at Large]]*.[^1] Beyond publishing, the Office reviews documents that the states submit on the ratification of constitutional amendments and on the Electoral College. It checks each document for facial legal sufficiency and for an authenticating signature.[^1] In May 2014 the Office hosted an "editathon" aimed at improving Wikipedia articles about government entities.[^1] The project's catalogue of claim:link pairs lists the Office's website as claim 9 under Theory 10, *APA / Constitutional Avoidance (Thirteen MN APA-Exempt Statutes as Ultra Vires)*. That entry links the Office to the codification of agency rulemaking.[^2] The record shows this listing. It does not set out how the theory applies to the Office, and this article does not characterize the theory. ## In the Minnesota record ### What - Claim:link row 9 appears in the section *1,400 validated pairs across 14 legal theories*. It pairs the Office with "codification of agency rulemaking" and cites the Office's website, federalregister.gov.[^2] - The row is filed under Theory 10. That theory carries 100 validated claim:link pairs concerning thirteen Minnesota statutes, which the theory's title describes as APA-exempt and ultra vires.[^2] ## Notes [^1]: Wikipedia, *Office of the Federal Register* (revision 1347468403, retrieved 2026-10-26) — establishes the Office's placement within the National Archives and Records Administration, its publications, its review of ratification and Electoral College documents, and its May 2014 editathon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_the_Federal_Register [^2]: Office of the Federal Register, *FederalRegister.gov* (cited in project claim:link row CL-Theory10APAConstitutiona-9, claim 9 of Theory 10) — establishes the website that the row pairs with the claim "codification of agency rulemaking." https://www.federalregister.gov/
