A rule (also called a regulation or rulemaking) is a document published in the Federal Register to implement or interpret law or policy. A rule is generally published first as a proposed rule and then as a final rule. Once a rule is published in final, it is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and remains in effect until it is modified by publication of another rule.
