The standard codification that is followed by all the executive departments and agencies of the US federal government is a comprehensive set of general rules and regulations. These are published in the US Federal Register as well as maintained online in an unofficial version.
Before trying to understand the CFR 47, it is important to understand the very purpose of CFR and that is, to organize and present the federal as well as the general regulations in a formal way. The title 47 of CFR is a part of Federal Communications Commission’s rules regarding unlicensed transmissions. It is everything to do with broadcasting and unintentional emissions.
This title is one of those that are mandatory to be followed by maritime companies who manage navigation charts and operate commercial vessels. These companies are anyway obligated to comply with the US CFR when they are on US waters. When it comes to the enforcement agencies dealing with these, the US Coast Guard acts as one of the main ones. The other titles that govern the US maritime industry include CFR 29, CFR 33, CFR 46 and CFR 49, each of them dealing with a different set of regulations directed at particular areas like transportation, navigation and navigable waters, shipping and labor.
