Mr. LYNCH. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 5384, the Federal Register Printing Savings Act of 2016. I agree with the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar) that this is a commonsense, good government bill about cutting waste.

This bill would allow the Government Publishing Office to avoid sending printed copies of the Federal Register to Members of Congress and other Federal offices, unless those offices actually want the printed copies. Of course, the Federal Register would continue to be available online.

This bill would be good for the environment and good for taxpayers. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this bill would save about $1 million a year.

I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 5384.

I yield back the balance of my time.
