    OPM Rider Info

    The OPM Rider Info is a system we use to give other Federal agencies an opportunity to order our publications at a reduced cost by riding our printing requisitions for the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). To get on the electronic mailing list for the Rider System for ordering publications, Federal agencies should follow these procedures:

    Subscribe to the Rider Info List

    Listserv Subscription

    To subscribe

    Electronic subscriptions are free to all requestors. You can subscribe to the list by sending an email message to listserv@listserv.opm.gov. In the body (not the subject line, see sample below) of that email, in either upper or lower case type:

    SUBSCRIBE RIDERINFO first name last name

    Type in your first and last name where first name and last name appear. The listserv system will ‘pick up’ your email address from the actual heading of your email message. You will then receive a confirmation message to which you should reply “OK.” This prevents someone else from subscribing for you.

    You will receive confirmation of your subscription and instructions on how to unsubscribe and maintain your information current. If you require further assistance, please call us on 202-606-1822.
