The United States Government Publishing Office is an agency of the legislative branch of the United States federal government. The office produces and distributes information products and services for all three branches of the Federal Government, including U. S. passports for the Department of State as well as the official publications of the Supreme Court, the Congress, the Executive Office of the President, executive departments, independent agencies. An act of Congress changed the office's name to its current form in 2014; the Government Printing Office was created by congressional joint resolution on June 23, 1860. It began operations March 4, 1861, with 350 employees and reached a peak employment of 8,500 in 1972; the agency began transformation to computer technology in the 1980s. For its entire history, the GPO has occupied the corner of North Capitol Street NW and H Street NW in the District of Columbia; the large red brick building that houses the GPO was erected in 1903 and is unusual in being one of the few large, red brick government structures in a city where most government buildings are marble and granite.

An additional structure was attached to its north in years. The activities of the GPO are defined in the public printing and documents chapters of Title 44 of the United States Code; the Director, who serves as the head of the GPO, is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Director selects a Superintendent of Documents; the Superintendent of Documents is in charge of the dissemination of information at the GPO. This is accomplished through the Federal Depository Library Program, the Cataloging and Indexing Program and the Publication Sales Program, as well as operation of the Federal Citizen Information Center in Pueblo, Colorado. Adelaide Hasse was the founder of the Superintendent of Documents classification system; the GPO first used 100 percent recycled paper for the Congressional Record and Federal Register from 1991 to 1997, under Public Printers Robert Houk and Michael DiMario. The GPO resumed using recycled paper in 2009. In March 2011, the GPO issued a new illustrated official history covering the agency's 150 years of "Keeping America Informed".

With demand for print publications falling and a move underway to digital document production and preservation, the name of the GPO was changed to "Government Publishing Office" in a provision of an omnibus government funding bill passed by Congress in December 2014. Following signature of this legislation by President Barack Obama, the name change took place on December 17, 2014. By law, the Public Printer heads the GPO; the position of Public Printer traces its roots back to Benjamin Franklin and the period before the American Revolution, when he served as "publick printer", whose job was to produce official government documents for Pennsylvania and other colonies. When the agency was renamed in December 2014 the title "Public Printer" was changed to "Director". Davita Vance-Cooks was therefore the first "Director" of the GPO. Public Printers: Almon M.

United States House Journal United States Senate Journal United States Code United States Statutes at Large GPO has been producing U. S. passports since the 1920s. The United States Department of State began issuing e-passports in 2006; the e-Passport includes an electronic chip embedded in the cover that contains the same information, printed in the passport: name and place of birth, dates of passport issuance and expiration, passport number, photo of the bearer.

GPO produces the blank e-Passport, while the Department of State receives and processes applications and issues individual passports. GPO ceased production of legacy passports in May 2007, shifting production to e-passports. In March 2008, the Washington Ti

2017 FZ2 is a micro-asteroid and near-Earth object of the Apollo group, a quasi-satellite of the Earth until March 23, 2017. 2017 FZ2 was discovered by American astronomer Gregory Leonard on March 19, 2017 observing for the Mt. Lemmon Survey from Mount Lemmon Observatory, its orbit is moderately eccentric, low inclination and a semi-major axis of 1.007 AU. Upon discovery, it was classified as an Apollo asteroid but an Earth crosser by the Minor Planet Center, its orbit is chaotic but it is well determined. 2017 FZ2 has an absolute magnitude of 26.7 which gives a characteristic diameter of 20 m. 2017 FZ2 was until recently an Earth’s coorbital, the sixth known quasi-satellite of our planet and the smallest by far. Its most recent quasi-satellite episode may have started over 225 yr ago and ended after a close encounter with the Earth on 2017 March 23. A number of other near-Earth asteroids move in orbits similar to that of 2017 FZ2, one of the largest being 54509 YORP. There is an apparent excess of small bodies moving in orbits similar to that of YORP and this could be the result of mass shedding from YORP.
