Canadian Entry To Practice (CETP) Practice Test

Federal rules and regulations are published in a series of books called the?

1. Federal Register

2. Code of Federal Regulations

3. Public Law Archive

4. Government Accountability Office Reports

The correct answer is: Code of Federal Regulations

The correct choice is the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This collection is a comprehensive set of regulations established by various federal agencies in the United States. The CFR organizes these regulations into a systematic format across multiple volumes, which helps ensure that the rules governing federal agencies are easily accessible and comprehensible to the public. Each title in the CFR corresponds to a specific area of federal regulations, allowing individuals and organizations to find relevant rules pertaining to specific topics efficiently. This resource is crucial for professionals and the public for understanding their obligations and rights under federal law. In contrast, the Federal Register serves as the daily journal of the U.S. government, where new regulations, proposed rules, and public notices are published, but it is not the codified collection of all existing regulations as the CFR is. The Public Law Archive is not a recognized compendium of federal rules, and Government Accountability Office Reports focus on audit and evaluation of government programs rather than on federal regulations themselves.
