Federal Regulations

The CFR Index and Finding Aids is the official index volume of the Code of Federal Regulations. The index includes a subject index to regulations codified in the C.F.R., and a "Parallel Table of Authorities and Rules," which lists rulemaking authority for regulations and provides cross-references to the United States Code, United States Statutes at Large, Public Laws, and certain Presidential documents (executive orders, proclamations, and reorganization plans).

The Federal Register Index "provides descriptive entries and Federal Register page numbers for documents published in the daily Federal Register. It includes entries, with select metadata for all documents published in the . . . calendar year."

"Topics (CFR Indexing Terms) provide a common vocabulary for indexing the rulemaking documents of all agencies and are the basis of the "CFR Index" prepared by the OFR. Federal agencies add CFR Indexing Terms to the documents they publish in the Federal Register. You can use these terms to learn more about your areas of interest and the regulations that affect them."
