A comprehensive 'law book' that contains all the current Federal regulations.

• A. NVAP Procedures Handbook
• B. NVAP Reference Guideline
• C. Program Standards
• D. Code of Federal Regulations

Answer: (D)

The main idea being tested is recognizing where the federal rules reside in a single, authoritative source. The Code of Federal Regulations is the official codification of all general and permanent federal regulations. It compiles the rules that agencies issue and that govern how laws are implemented, and it is updated regularly to reflect new or amended regulations. That makes it the definitive “law book” for current federal rules, organized by subject into titles.

In contrast, a procedures handbook focuses on how to perform tasks within a program, not on the full set of federal regulations. A reference guideline typically offers interpretation or guidance for applying rules but doesn’t serve as the complete rulebook. Program standards set expectations for compliance within a specific program and aren’t a universal repository of all federal regulations.
