Government Documents: Copyright versus the Public Domain
The majority of documents published by the federal government are in the public domain. There are some exceptions. The federal government outsources some of its research and publications to private publishers. Those works may be copyrighted. Check the specific document.
Also many state and county publications may be copyrighted; they are not necessarily in the public domain.
