Before an agency issues a final regulation, it publishes it in the Federal Register as a proposed regulation. The public has thirty days to comment on the proposed rule. After the agency receives comments, and if it makes no changes to the proposed regulation, the regulation is published in the Federal Register as a final regulation. Final regulations are then codified by subject in the CFR . Annual revisions are made following a quarterly schedule.
Agencies promulgate, revise, and repeal regulations continuously.
