Code of Federal Regulations

This guide provides information about the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR)

Titles by Relevant Cabinet Department

This list attempts to group titles by the most relevant cabinet departments and equivalent federal departments, as called out in the structure of each title. 

Not all titles map to only one department or agency. Follow these directions on the eCFR website to search the eCFR for references to a specific agency. You can also click the "Details" option on the left sidebar while reading eCFR content to see the agency responsible for that content.
