<P> Public laws are incorporated into the United States Code, which is a codification of all general and permanent laws of the United States . The main edition is published every six years by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives, and cumulative supplements are published annually . The U.S. Code is arranged by subject matter, and it shows the present status of laws (with amendments already incorporated in the text) that have been amended on one or more occasions . </P> <P> Congress often enacts statutes that grant broad rulemaking authority to federal agencies . Often, Congress is simply too gridlocked to draft detailed statutes that explain how the agency should react to every possible situation, or Congress believes the agency's technical specialists are best equipped to deal with particular fact situations as they arise . Therefore, federal agencies are authorized to promulgate regulations . Under the principle of Chevron deference, regulations normally carry the force of law as long as they are based on a reasonable interpretation of the relevant statutes . </P> <P> Regulations are adopted pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Regulations are first proposed and published in the Federal Register (FR or Fed . Reg .) and subject to a public comment period . Eventually, after a period for public comment and revisions based on comments received, a final version is published in the Federal Register . The regulations are codified and incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) which is published once a year on a rolling schedule . </P> <P> Besides regulations formally promulgated under the APA, federal agencies also frequently promulgate an enormous amount of forms, manuals, policy statements, letters, and rulings . These documents may be considered by a court as persuasive authority as to how a particular statute or regulation may be interpreted (known as Skidmore deference), but are not entitled to Chevron deference . </P>
