The Federal Register is the official publication for notifying the public of federal agency rulemaking. Both proposed and final rules are published in the Federal Register. In addition to agency rules, the Federal Register also contains executive orders, official notices, proclamations and other presidential documents, and other documents required to be published by law. The Federal Register is printed daily except for federal holidays.

The C.F.R., the codification of final rules published in the Federal Register, is divided into 50 titles (which do not correspond to the 50 titles of the U.S. Code). Each title is further subdivided into chapters, parts, and sections. Individual parts contain an "Authority" note providing the statutory or executive authority under which the regulations were issued and a "Source" note providing a Federal Register citation where the part was originally published. Most relevant titles: 12 (Banks & Banking), 13 (Business Credit & Assistance), 15 (Commerce & Foreign Trade), 16 (Commercial Practices), 17 (Commodity & Securities Exchanges), and 26 (Internal Revenue Service).
