The Federal Register is the main source for the U.S. federal government agencies':
- Proposed new rules and regulations
- Final rules
- Changes to existing rules
- Notices of meetings and adjudicatory proceedings
In essence, the Federal Register is a way for the government to think aloud to the people, and also serves as official journal of record for the approved acts of the U.S. Government. The notice and comment process outlined in the Federal Register gives the people a chance to participate in agency rulemaking.
The United States Government Manual is published as a special edition of the Federal Register. Its focus is on programs and activities (1 C.F.R. 9.1).
