The Federal Register Act (FRA) of 1935 created the Federal Register publication. The Federal Register is the official "newspaper" of the Executive Branch of government and is published every work day. The documents that the Federal Register Act requires agencies to publish in the Federal Register include:
In 1937, Congress amended the FRA to create the Code of Federal Regulations, a codification of all currently effective agency regulations.
In 1946, Congress refined the rulemaking process by enacting the Administrative Procedure Act, which established a uniform process for publishing, obtaining comments on, and finalizing regulations. This standard rulemaking process is known as “informal rulemaking.”
Examples of presidential documents that may but do not have to be published are administrative orders, presidential memos, and other miscellaneous documents.
