§51.7. What publications are eligible?
1 C.F.R. § 51.7
A publication is eligible for incorporation by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) if it—
Conforms to the policy stated in § 51.1;
Is published data, criteria, standards, specifications, techniques, illustrations, or similar material; and
Does not detract from the usefulness of the Federal Register publication system; and
Is reasonably available to and usable by the class of persons affected. In determining whether a publication is usable, the Director will consider—
The completeness and ease of handling of the publication; and
Whether it is bound, numbered, and organized, as applicable.

A publication produced by the agency may be approved, if, in the judgment of the Director, it meets the requirements of paragraph (a) and possesses other unique or highly unusual qualities. A publication may be approved if it cannot be printed using the Federal Register/Code of Federal Regulations printing system.
The following materials are not appropriate for incorporation by reference—
Material published previously in the Federal Register.
