The FCC rules and regulations are codified in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). They are initially published in the Federal Register. After October 1 of each year, the GPO compiles all the changes, additions, and deletions to the FCC rules and publishes an updated CFR. This page links to the October 1, 2008 edition.
These links are provided here for your convenience. The FCC does not maintain a database of its rules nor does it print or stock copies of the rules and regulations. To order a copy of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations or to subscribe to the Federal Register visit
