eCFR (Electronic Code of Federal Regulations)

Free

eCFR — the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations: the CURRENT, codified text of U.S. federal regulations (Office of the Federal Register / NARA). Search what the rules SAY NOW, walk the nested hierarchy (title → chapter → part → section) of any CFR title as of a date, and trace the change/version history of a regulatory part. The companion to the Federal Register: the Federal Register is "what just changed" (the rules/notices feed), eCFR is "what the regulation says today" (the codified text). Energy/O&G/environmental titles: Title 40 = EPA/Environment (incl. Part 98 GHG reporting & methane NSPS), Title 30 = Mineral Resources (MSHA, BSEE/BOEM offshore), Title 18 = FERC, Title 43 = BLM/Public Lands. No auth.
