1Federal Register documents list who issued them
Every document in the Federal Register names the agencies behind it. Usually that is one or two. Occasionally three or more sign the same document. Of the 7,106 Federal Register documents this site holds as of 2026-09-05, only 28 (0.4%) carry three or more agencies. This series takes eight of those twenty-eight, ordered from the most signatures down. It starts at the maximum: nine.
2One rule entering nine places
A joint rule is a single document, but as regulatory text each agency puts it into its own part of the code. Here that means nine places.
| Agency | Where it lands in the Code of Federal Regulations |
|---|---|
| Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) | 12 CFR Part 15 |
| Federal Reserve Board | 12 CFR Part 262 |
| Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) | 12 CFR Part 304 |
| National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) | 12 CFR Part 753 |
| Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) | 12 CFR Part 1077 |
| Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) | 12 CFR Part 1226 |
| Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) | 17 CFR Part 140 |
| Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) | 17 CFR Part 256 |
| Department of the Treasury | 31 CFR Part 151 |
Three different titles of the code are involved — 12, 17 and 31 — and each agency carries its own regulation identifier number. To anyone tracking the matter, one rule is being administered under nine identifiers.
3What the rule decides
It establishes common standards for financial regulatory data. It does not change what anyone reports on the effective date: the rule states that reporting requirements do not change then, and that each agency will consider incorporating the standards later through separate rulemakings or other actions. The frame is set first; application follows agency by agency.
The next article takes up a document signed by eight agencies that touches no part of the code at all.
Why it matters
A joint rule is one document but as many entries in the code as there are agencies. Systems that track regulation should group by code location and identifier, not by document number alone.
