History
The CFR was authorized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on October 11, 1938, as a means to organize and maintain the growing material published by federal agencies in the newly mandated Federal Register. The first volume of the CFR was published in 1939 with general applicability and legal effect in force June 1, 1938.{{cite web|title=A Brief History Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Publication of the First Issue of the Federal Register March 14, 1936|url=https://www.federalregister.gov/uploads/2011/01/fr_history.pdf|publisher=Office of the Federal Register Archives and Records Administration|access-date=11 March 2014|page=4|year=2006}}
The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) began publishing yearly revisions for some titles in 1963 with legal effective dates of January 1 each year. By 1967 all 50 titles were updated annually and effective January 1.{{Cite web|title=A Research Guide to the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations|date=July 21, 2012|publisher=Law Librarians' Society of Washington, D.C|url=http://www.llsdc.org/fr-cfr-research-guide|access-date=11 March 2014}}
The CFR was placed online in 1996. The OFR began updating the entire CFR online on a daily basis in 2001.{{cite web|last=Hemphill|first=Jim|title=Federal Register Facts|url=https://www.federalregister.gov/uploads/2011/01/fr_facts.pdf|access-date=11 March 2014|page=2|year=2010}}
