It is run by the National Archives and Records Administration. They also run the Code of Federal Regulations, which stores rules of law for people to follow. The Government Publishing Office publishes both the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations.[1][2]

The initialism for the Federal Register is FR.

Events could happen that make the use of the Federal Register hard, like an attack on the United States. If this happens, the Emergency Federal Register can be started. The initialism is EFR. The place where the EFR stores the rules of law, if the EFR is started, will be secret.[3]
