§ 1507. Filing document as constructive notice; publication in Federal Register as presumption of validity; judicial notice; citation

A document required by section 1505(a) of this title to be published in the Federal Register is not valid as against a person who has not had actual knowledge of it until the duplicate originals or certified copies of the document have been filed with the Office of the Federal Register and a copy made available for public inspection as provided by section 1503 of this title . Unless otherwise specifically provided by statute, filing of a document, required or authorized to be published by section 1505 of this title , except in cases where notice by publication is insufficient in law, is sufficient to give notice of the contents of the document to a person subject to or affected by it. The publication in the Federal Register of a document creates a rebuttable presumption—

  • (1) that it was duly issued, prescribed, or promulgated;
  • (2) that it was filed with the Office of the Federal Register and made available for public inspection at the day and hour stated in the printed notation;
  • (3) that the copy contained in the Federal Register is a true copy of the original; and
  • (4) that all requirements of this chapter and the regulations prescribed under it relative to the document have been complied with.
