§1510 Code of Federal Regulations

Summary

The Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, with the President’s or someone the President chooses OKing it, must make and publish a complete collection of each agency’s rules and other documents that apply to the public and have legal effect. These are the rules the agency uses or relies on and that were published in the Federal Register or filed with the Committee. That collection is called the Code of Federal Regulations, and the Committee decides how it is published. The Office of the Federal Register must prepare and publish the code, its yearly updates, indexes, and user guides. Each part of the code must be updated and republished at least once each calendar year. The Office can make updates available electronically and let users get the version in effect on a chosen date. The published code, as later amended in the daily Federal Register, is accepted as proof of the text and that it is in effect on and after the publication date. The Committee, with the President’s approval, must issue rules to carry out this work. Presidential documents collected in supplements to title 3 do not have to be included.
