In the [[law of the United States]], the '''''Code of Federal Regulations''''' ('''''CFR''''') is the codification of the general and permanent [[regulatory law|regulations]] promulgated by the executive departments and agencies of the [[federal government of the United States]]. The CFR is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to federal regulation.

The CFR annual edition is published as a special issue of the ''[[Federal Register]]'' by the Office of the Federal Register (part of the [[National Archives and Records Administration]]) and the [[Government Publishing Office]].<ref>{{Cite web | title = Browse Code of Federal Regulations (Annual Edition)| work = FDsys |publisher= US Government Publishing Office Federal Digital System | access-date = 2014-05-23 | url = http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR}}</ref> In addition to this annual edition, the CFR is published online on the Electronic CFR (eCFR) website, which is updated daily.
