Code of Federal Regulations: Browse and/or Search
View the entire Table of Contents from a single issue of the Federal
Register from 1998 to the present.
Browse and/or search the past two years.
The browse feature allows you to search or browse single or multiple
CFR titles for a given year. While you may not retrieve an entire title,
you may retrieve documents at the part, subpart, and section levels by
entering a query or by following various links.
The browse feature consists of several tiers. In the first tier, you
must choose which title(s) you wish to browse and/or search from the table.
The table is arranged by title and revision date. If you are interested
in only one title, click on the link for that title under the desired
revision date. For example, to browse the latest online CFR regulations
concerning the U.S. Postal Service, click on the "Jul. 1, 1998"
link next to "Title 39: Postal Service." If you wish to browse
or search multiple titles and/or revision dates simultaneously, click
in the boxes next to the desired revision date(s) for each title and then
click on the "continue" button at the top or bottom of the page.
Note: You have the option of searching multiple titles across
the same year, multiple titles across multiple years, and one title
across multiple years. Unless you have a specific query to apply to
related titles, it is advisable to perform a separate search for each
title.
The second tier presents a more specific table, which displays the volumes,
chapters, parts, regulatory entities, and online dates for each title
you selected in the previous table. From this table, you have two options:
- You may click on a link for a list of parts from that title. Clicking
on a part number from the list of parts will display a list of sections
for the part that you selected. Click on either the "text"
or "PDF" link to retrieve a section-level document. Documents
at the section level are available as ASCII text and PDF files.
Note: The above option is available only for the 1998 database.
- You may submit a query that will search one or multiple volumes of
the title(s) you selected from the first table. Type your query in the
search-terms box and then choose which volume(s) you wish to search
by clicking in the appropriate checkbox(es). Make sure that you deselect
the checkbox next to the title number and name before you submit your
query; otherwise you will receive duplicate search results. From the
results list, you may retrieve a document in ASCII
text or PDF.
Note: If you wish to retrieve a whole part, your query should
include the word "part," as in "part 192." The
results list from such a query will include the whole part, as well
as documents for each section within that part.
