About the Author
The Office of the Federal Register, an agency within the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, serves as the official publisher of federal government documents, ensuring the accessibility and preservation of the nation's legal and regulatory framework. Established under the Federal Register Act of 1935, it compiles and disseminates the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), a comprehensive codification of the general and permanent rules issued by federal agencies. Through meticulous editing and publication, the Office maintains the integrity of administrative law, supporting government transparency, public participation in rulemaking, and compliance with federal statutes. Its work underpins the operational backbone of U.S. governance, from environmental protections to public health standards and procurement policies, making complex regulations understandable to citizens, businesses, and legal professionals alike.
