How can I find government agency regulations?
Answer
Regulations first appear in the Federal Register and then are compiled in the Code of Federal Regulations.
The Federal Register contains new and proposed federal agency regulations and presidential documents such as executive orders and proclamations. A new issue is published every workday. Curent Federal Registers are shelevd in the government documents, arranged under SuDoc call numbers that begin AE 2.106.
The Code of Federal Regulations compiles all federal departmental and administrative agency regulations currently in effect and arranges them by subject. The CFR is shelved in the government documents area under SuDoc call numbers that begin AE 2.106/3. A new set is published volume by volume each year. At any given time the set of the shelf will be partly from the current year and partly from the previous year.
The CFR and Federal Register are available online form many sources, although coverage years vary from source to source. Both are available on Westlaw and Lexis, the government's GOVINFO page, and Hein Online.
