This text explains the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), a system for organizing federal regulations. Regulations clarify statutes passed by Congress, providing the details for their implementation and enforcement. The CFR’s creation was prompted by the need for a centralized, accessible system to manage the growing number of regulations. Regulations have the force of law, but they cannot expand upon an agency’s statutory authority. Finally, the text emphasizes the importance of understanding both statutes and their corresponding regulations to determine the scope of government authority and to ensure compliance.
