The Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) are issued by which entity?

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) is primarily established by federal agencies, with various sections dedicated to specific regulatory topics. The correct answer is that the FAA Administrator issues regulations related to aviation, which are compiled in Title 14 of the CFRs, governing everything from the operation of aircraft to air traffic control procedures. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is the U.S. government agency responsible for the regulation of civil aviation and ensuring the safety of air travel.

While the Department of Transportation oversees the FAA, it does not directly issue the CFRs; the FAA Administrator is responsible for creating and enforcing these regulations within the framework of the aviation industry. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) mainly investigates accidents and makes safety recommendations but does not issue regulations. Additionally, there is no entity called the National Air Traffic Control; instead, air traffic control services are managed by the FAA. Thus, the FAA Administrator's role is central in the context of the CFRs as they relate directly to aviation regulations and air traffic control operations.
