History
The Federal Register Act of 1935 established the requirement to publish new regulatory law. These regulations are first posted in the Federal Register (FR), which is published every business day, and then compiled into annual or staggered codifications as the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
A proposed rule will solicit comments from the public before being re-published as a final rule.
The Office of the Federal Register manages an unofficial digital version of the CFR.
