Congressionally mandated reports are defined as those reports that are required by statute to be submitted by Federal agencies to the Senate, the House of Representatives, or to congressional committees or subcommittees. Agencies must now also submit these reports electronically to the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) after first submitting to Congress, committees, or subcommittees as they do currently.
Not all congressionally mandated reports are required to be submitted to GPO for publication. The congressionally mandated reports in GovInfo are those that are in scope of Public Law 117-263, the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, sections 7241-7248, cited as the “Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act.”

The Office of Management and Budget, in consultation with GPO, has issued guidance to agencies on submission of congressionally mandated reports: OMB Guidance. Read More.
