A publication may be approved if it cannot be printed using the Federal Register /Code of Federal Regulations printing system. ( c ) The following materials are not appropriate for incorporation by reference: ( 1 ) Material published previously in the Federal Register. ( 2 ) Material published in the United States Code.
