Federal Register vs. Code of Federal Regulations
The Federal Register (FR) is published daily and lists, slip laws, proposed and final agency regulations, presidential proclamations and executive orders. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) categorizes by subject (or codifies) those regulations. A portion of the CFR is updated on a quarterly rotation so that the entire Code is updated annually. Statutes at Large are the laws that Congress has passed in a Session.
