Find out where an agency's rules & regulations are codified (Question 12 in your assignment)
Regulations are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The most up-to-date version of the CFR is the eCFR, updated daily.
- Open the eCFR (the electronic Code of Federal Regulations)
- Click on the "Browse" Dropdown Menu at the top of the page.
- Click on the "Agencies' link in the menu. Or go straight to https://www.ecfr.gov/agencies
- Search for your agency (control + F or command + F are helpful here).
- You will probably see more than one CFR citation next to your agency--that's normal.
A note on CFR citations:
A Code of Federal Regulations citation in the Agency List looks like this:
1 CFR Chapter II
A Code of Federal Regulations citation to a specific regulation would typically be more granular, like this:
16 C.F.R. §312.2 (2012)
Title # C.F.R. Part#.Section# (Year compiled)
