How do I cite a federal regulation in the APA style?
Executive agencies issue regulations or rules. They are first published in the Federal Register (Fed. Reg.), a daily publication. Each year, the rules are codified (put into a subject arrangement) and published in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.). Examples of Reference lists and in-text citations for both the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations are available in the APA Guide , References tab, Legal materials subtab .
