federal regulation
National agency mandates
Federal regulation refers to rules created by government agencies to implement and enforce laws passed by Congress.
These regulations carry the force of law and govern everything from workplace safety to environmental standards to financial practices.
The new federal regulation requires banks to disclose fees more clearly.
Federal regulations are compiled in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
The phrase also describes the broader system of governmental oversight: The industry has long resisted federal regulation.
