Announced in a 22 February 2010 press release [PDF]:
The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) and Cornell University Law School are beginning a year long pilot project to evaluate a conversion process of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in XML (extensible markup language) format...The Cornell Legal Information Institute will convert various titles into XML and place them on the university’s Web site for students to research. GPO and Cornell will apply lessons learned from this pilot project and share the information with members of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) to find ways of providing the public openness to government documents.
...Thomas R. Bruce, Director of Cornell’s Legal Information Institute, [said] “The LII will provide the technical expertise needed to create a high-value version of the CFR, with features that significantly extend its utility beyond current offerings.”
The Code of Federal Regulations for 2007 to present is online at the GPO's FDsys website. GPO plans to add the CFRs back to 2000 "in a few months."
