A Key Information Resource: The Code of Federal Regulations

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is a valuable resource for anyone who needs to understand or comply with federal regulations. It is used by businesses, lawyers, government officials, and the public.

The CFR is an annual codification of the general and permanent rules published by executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. CFRs present official and complete text of agency regulations in one organized publication that provides a comprehensive and convenient reference for anyone needing to know the text of the general and permanent Federal laws.

The CFR is divided into 50 titles representing broad areas subject to Federal regulation, such as Domestic Security, Agriculture, Banking and Finance, Aerospace, and more. Public administrators make sure this critical information is always up to date.

Here are some examples of how the CFR can be used:

  • A business owner can use the CFR to learn about the regulations that apply to their industry.
  • A lawyer can use the CFR to research the law for a client.
  • A government official can use the CFR to understand the agency's policies and procedures.
  • A member of the public can use the CFR to learn about their rights and responsibilities under federal law.

The CFR is an essential resource for anyone who needs to understand or comply with federal regulations.
