The CFR lists the rules currently in force (as of the date of the volume). These have already been published in the Federal Register and approved. Revoked rules have been taken out. Amended rules have been changed.
When you want to see what the current regulations are, go here. Use the subject index in the last volume to find regulations on your topic, or use the CFR section given in a relevant rule from the Federal Register.
Final rules from the Federal Register get put in the CFR. The CFR sections stay updated, incorporating the additions and changes made along the way.
