Regulatory Resources

Unified Agenda  - Twice a year in the Spring and Fall, each agency publishes a Regulatory Agenda. The Unified Agenda provides information about regulations that ACF plans to issue or has recently completed.  Select “Department of Health and Human Services” from the list of agencies and the ACF regulations will appear at the top of the HHS list of regulations.

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. It is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation.  Each volume of the CFR is updated once each calendar year and is issued on a quarterly basis.

The Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR) is a currently updated version of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). It is not an official legal edition of the CFR. The e-CFR is an editorial compilation of CFR material and Federal Register amendments produced by the National Archives and Records Administration's Office of the Federal Register (OFR) and the Government Printing Office. The OFR updates the material in the e-CFR on a daily basis. The current update status appears at the top of all e-CFR web pages.
