§1510 Code of Federal Regulations

Summary

The Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, with the President’s approval, can require agencies to collect their general rules and documents and publish them in a special book called the Code of Federal Regulations. The Committee decides what is included and how the Code is published. It can set the dates that determine which rules are covered. The Office of the Federal Register must prepare and publish the Code, its updates, indexes, and help tools. Each part of the Code must be updated and republished at least once each calendar year. The Office can post electronic updates and let users view the version that was in effect on a chosen date. The printed and updated Code is accepted as proof of the text and that the rules are in effect on and after their publication date. The Committee, with the President’s approval, will issue rules to make this work. The rule does not force inclusion of Presidential documents compiled in supplements to title 3.
