Neil: It bothers me that I can often find information that's more recent by going directly to the FCC's OET site. For instance, look at: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/rules/ where there is a Part 15 release dated 8/23/2002. You would think that the official version would be at the Government Printing Office's Code of Federal Regulations, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I seem to have found a comment that the CFR is updated only on a periodic schedule, and that the latest components are only then published in the CFR. I also recall that US law becomes effective (or official) when it is published in the daily Federal Register. So, there may quite often be a considerable time lag between the daily Register appearance and the next GPO CFR revision.
