Federal regulations are rules created by government agencies to implement laws passed by Congress. These regulations help ensure that laws are followed and provide specific guidelines for businesses, organizations, and individuals. They cover a wide range of areas, including environmental protection, health and safety, and financial practices. Agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are responsible for enforcing these regulations. Federal regulations are published in the Federal Register and can be updated or changed as needed to address new issues or improve existing policies.
