TITLE 44--PUBLIC PRINTING AND DOCUMENTS
CHAPTER 15--FEDERAL REGISTER AND CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
Sec. 1510. Code of Federal Regulations
(a) The Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, with the
approval of the President, may require, from time to time as it
considers necessary, the preparation and publication in special or
supplemental editions of the Federal Register of complete codifications
of the documents of each agency of the Government having general
applicability and legal effect, issued or promulgated by the agency by
publication in the Federal Register or by filing with the Administrative
Committee, and are relied upon by the agency as authority for, or are
invoked or used by it in the discharge of, its activities or functions,
and are in effect as to facts arising on or after dates specified by the
Administrative Committee.
(b) A codification published under subsection (a) of this section
shall be printed and bound in permanent form and shall be designated as
the ``Code of Federal Regulations.'' The Administrative Committee shall
regulate the binding of the printed codifications into separate books
with a view to practical usefulness and economical manufacture. Each
book shall contain an explanation of its coverage and other aids to
users that the Administrative Committee may require. A general index to
the entire Code of Federal Regulations shall be separately printed and
bound.
(c) The Administrative Committee shall regulate the supplementation
and the collation and republication of the printed codifications with a
view to keeping the Code of Federal Regulations as current as
practicable. Each book shall be either supplemented or collated and
republished at least once each calendar year.
(d) The Office of the Federal Register shall prepare and publish the
codifications, supplements, collations, and indexes authorized by this
section.
(e) The codified documents of the several agencies published in the
supplemental edition of the Federal Register under this section, as
amended by documents subsequently filed with the Office and published in
the daily issues of the Federal Register shall be prima facie evidence
of the text of the documents and of the fact that they are in effect on
and after the date of publication.
(f) The Administrative Committee shall prescribe, with the approval
of the President, regulations for carrying out this section.
(g) This section does not require codification of the text of
Presidential documents published and periodically compiled in
supplements to Title 3 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
