NARA Code of Federal Regulations

You can access NARA's regulations through the Government Printing Office (GPO)'s site, the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR).  The e-CFR is an unofficial, non-legal edition of the paper Code of Federal Regulations created in partnership with NARA’s Office of the Federal Register.  The e-CFR is reliable, is updated daily, and is the best online source for the most current versions of our regulations. 

For your ease of reference, here is a linked list of our regulations:
