Proposed regulations and final regulations are published every business day in the Federal Register in print. This information is available in electronic format at fee based sites. Check out the FR database in Westlaw and the Federal Legal US Library in Lexis. Final regulations are published in print in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.). Again, the C.F.R. is also available electronically for a fee in the CFR database (Westlaw) and the Federal Legal US Library (Lexis.)
