Sources of U.S. administrative regulations
For U.S. federal regulations, etc., consult the Federal Register, the Code
of Federal Regulations, and/or the U.S. Code, as appropriate. For state regulations,
consult the administrative code of the particular state, etc., or the state's statutes.
Note that these reference sources are compilations of regulations, etc., or
statutes actually in force at the date of publication or revision. Any sections that
have been amended, superseded, or repealed can be located in earlier volumes or editions.
Any sections valid after the date of that revision can be located in later volumes (or in
the case of statutory publications, in annual session laws, pocket supplements, or
supplementary services). Do not simply follow an existing pattern for similar or related
publications, because a body's power to promulgate regulations, etc., is not necessarily
permanent.
Choice of main entry heading
1) Identify the promulgating agency (see Definition of "promulgating
agency" above), and enter under it, even if it is only named as publisher but positively
identified as the promulgating agency.
2) For foreign publications, if a positive identification of the
promulgating agency is not possible, enter under title.
based.
3) Give in a local note field 1 the source on which the main entry heading is
Promulgator stated on p. 2
Promulgator from text of law (Appendix A)
Added entries for laws
If the regulations, etc., derive from a particular law, make an added entry
for that law if this information is named in the preliminaries or prefatory matter or the
text of the law is appended to the publication itself. (In the latter case, the added
entry is an analytical one.)
Examples of notes made when necessary to justify added entries
Derived from the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and
Building Code Act
Derived from the Child Care Facility Licensing Act, appended as
Appendix B (p. 19-25)
Statement of responsibility in the bibliographic description
If the promulgating agency cannot be named in the statement of
responsibility, it is inappropriate to name the issuing or publishing body there since
such a body has no responsibility for the content of the publication if it acts only as
publisher. (If the issuing agency is not named in the publication, distribution, etc.,
area, the added entry for the agency required by the rule is justified in the note area
(cf. 21.29F).)
