federal regulations
National agency mandates
Federal regulations are rules issued by government agencies to implement and enforce laws passed by Congress.
They carry the force of law and cover everything from environmental standards to workplace safety to financial practices.
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) compiles these rules by subject.
The new federal regulations require stricter emissions testing.
Businesses often hire specialists to navigate federal regulations in their industry.
