Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) – Definition and Pronunciation
What is CFR?
The CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) is a comprehensive collection of rules and regulations created by federal agencies in the United States. It organizes and codifies the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register, covering a wide range of topics from environmental protection to labor standards.
Examples of CFR
As a result of the increasing market, USCG Sector Mobile issued a Policy Letter, dated May 9, 2014, providing guidelines for the transfer of LNG as a marine fuel, largely drawing off of 33 CFR Parts 105, 127 and 156.
From “Key Considerations for Successful Bunkering Facility Development”.
LNG bunkering facilities store smaller volumes and generally require smaller land area as a buffer than LNG import and export facilities. In the US, the only codified siting criteria are NFPA 59A and DOT regulation 49 CFR 193 (Subpart B), which are used for those types of large LNG facilities.
From “Comprehensive Overview of LNG Risk Management”.
Additional pollution prevention regulations are contained in Title 33 CFR Subchapter O, which outlines requirements for pollution prevention, especially during transfer operations.
