The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) is a comprehensive online database that provides access to the official legal print publication, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The eCFR is a continuously updated online version of the CFR, containing the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The database is organized by title, with 50 titles covering various topics such as general provisions, federal financial assistance, agriculture, commerce, and public health. The eCFR is updated regularly, with recent changes listed on the site. The database is designed to help users navigate and understand the CFR, with features such as a search function, citations, and a point-in-time system. The eCFR is not an official legal edition of the CFR, but rather a reference tool to aid in understanding the CFR. The database is maintained by the Office of the Federal Register (OFR), which publishes documents on behalf of Federal agencies. The eCFR is available to the public and is a valuable resource for researchers, lawyers, and government officials. The site also provides information on the editorial process, government policy, and developer resources. The eCFR is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, and users can sign up for a subscription to receive updates and notifications.
