US Code - Code of Federal Regulation (CFR)
Intro
The U.S. Code is a codification of legislation, while the CFR serves as administrative law. The United States Code (U.S. Code) precedes the CFR and contains statutes enacted by Congress. The CFR contains regulations, which spell out in further detail how the executive branch will interpret the law. The two documents represent different stages in the legislative process. Every regulation in the CFR must have an "enabling statute," or statutory authority.
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the codification of the general and permanent rules and regulations (sometimes called administrative law) published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government of the United States. The CFR is published by the Office of the Federal Register, an agency of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The CFR is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation.
