Code of Federal Regulations

The regulations first published in the Federal Registeron adaily basis are then codified in the Code of Federal

Regulations.

The regulations that are published chronologically in theFederal Registerare codified and arranged by title, then by

chapter (one agencys regulations) and finally by subject inthe CFR.

The CFR is divided into 50 titles, just like the USCA

Some titles covering the same subjects are numberedthe same in the CFR and in the USCA; others are not.

Each title is divided into chapters, subchapters, parts, andsections.

A regulation is cited by title, part, and section, e.g.,14 CFR 121.313 (Title 14, Part 121, Section 313).
