Legal Status
Topics (CFR Indexing Terms) provide a common vocabulary for indexing the rulemaking documents of all agencies and are the basis of the "CFR Index" prepared by the OFR. Federal agencies add CFR Indexing Terms to the documents they publish in the Federal Register. You can use these terms to learn more about your areas of interest and the regulations that affect them.
