I found them on the Federal Register site, in the "Documents Published
Today" page. They are published. Here's their URL:
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=2000_register&docid=00-983-filed
That document states: "This rule is effective January 14, 2000."
Congratulations, Wei, I believe you're the first to legally publish
strong encryption in machine-readable form from the US.

That is correct.
