Caveat Emptor ("Let the buyer beware")

Please note that some FEMP publications have been altered, without DOE consent, and distributed or made available on the web. Note that if a web site does not have a ".gov" address, then the document may not be an official publication.

In some cases, it is very difficult to determine which publications are genuine and which have been altered. If you have any doubts, visit the FEMP Web site to view the publication or to request an official copy from the DOE Clearinghouse (1-877-337-3463).
