Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)

Read a random definition: final settlement

A quick definition of Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.):

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is a collection of rules and regulations made by the federal government. It includes the final and effective rules of federal agencies and their official interpretations. The CFR is published annually by the Office of the Federal Register and the Government Publishing Office. It is divided into 50 titles, each covering a different subject area. The CFR reflects the idea that the government must follow an open public process when making rules. This means that proposed rules are published for the public to comment on before they become final. The CFR is important because it helps people understand the rules that the government has made.

A more thorough explanation:

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is a collection of the federal government's rules and regulations that are published in the Federal Register. It is published annually by the Office of the Federal Register and the Government Publishing Office. The CFR includes the final and effective rules of Federal agencies and any related official interpretations of the rules. It does not contain preambles, proposed rules, notices, or general policy statements found in the Federal Register.

The CFR was created with the passage of the Federal Register Act and amended in 1937 to provide a “codification” of all regulations every five years. It reflects the tenet that the federal government must follow an open public process when rulemaking. The United States Constitution permits federal agencies to promulgate rules to enable Congress’ legislation. This rulemaking process is governed by the Administrative Procedure Act.

The CFR is divided into 50 titles, each of which is assigned chapters within the titles. The standard organization of a title consists of chapters, subchapters, parts, sections, and paragraphs. The CFR’s 50 titles are divided by subject areas, such as Agriculture, Commerce and Foreign Trade, Education, and Public Health.

These examples illustrate how the CFR contains the final and effective rules of Federal agencies and any related official interpretations of the rules. They also show how the CFR covers a wide range of subject areas that affect people's daily lives.
