The U.S. Code is the codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States, based on what is printed in the Statutes at Large. It is divided by broad subjects into 50 titles and published by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Since 1926, the United States Code has been published every six years.
In between editions, annual, cumulative supplements are published in order to present the most current information. Documents are available as ASCII text files.

GPO Access contains the 2006, 2000 and 1994 editions of the U.S. Code, plus annual supplements.
