Federal Register
Federal Register
The Federal Register (pronounced: /ˈfɛdərəl ˈrɛdʒɪstər/) is the official journal of the federal government of the United States that contains government agency rules, proposed rules, and public notices. It is published daily, except on federal holidays. The final rules published in the Federal Register are ultimately reorganized by topic or subject matter and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which is updated annually.
Etymology
The term "Federal Register" is derived from the fact that it is a register or record of federal government actions and notices. The word "federal" (pronounced: /ˈfɛdərəl/) comes from the Latin foedus, meaning "covenant, league", and the word "register" (pronounced: /ˈrɛdʒɪstər/) comes from the Late Latin registrum, meaning "list, catalogue, schedule".
