The federal regulations, full text
Most AF safety and occupational-health pubs implement OSHA — DAFMAN 91-203 is built on
29 CFR 1910, mishap reporting follows 1904, and the whole AF OSH program hangs off 1960. Beyond OSHA the
corpus follows the NRC radiation rules, the EPA environmental layer, hazmat transport, flight rules and
federal-sector EEO — all served here (2426 sections, eCFR edition 2026-07-09), so a finding can quote
the federal layer without leaving the site. See also the DAFMAN 91-203 chapter map
and the corpus-wide crosswalk.
Two of these no longer exist. 32 CFR 989 (the AF EIAP) and 40 CFR 1500
(the CEQ NEPA regulations) were rescinded — but 58 AF pubs still cite them, so the last surviving eCFR
edition is served here, clearly labeled RESCINDED.
