CyberRegs pre-login Frequently Asked Questions

What is CyberRegs?

At a minimum, CyberRegs is an online, regulatory document service that provides subscribers with up-to-date versions of
  • Code of Federal Regulations
  • The daily Federal Register
  • US Code
  • State Statutes and Regulations
  • Canada National and Province Regulations and Laws
  • Mexican Laws and Regulations
  • EH&S News
  • Unified Agenda

What sets CyberRegs apart from its competition is a set of robust productivity-enhancing tools, a user-friendly interface, and a suite of features that assist organizations in their efforts to manage EHS change and compliance.

I currently get my information off of free sites; why should I pay for a service?

Every day, companies lose time and money because employees are trying to navigate multiple "free" sites to figure out what they need to know. CyberRegs gives you one service that is easier to navigate, and includes all your state and national requirements in one place with one simple-to-use format. It allows users to reach a much higher level of productivity and eliminates the extra time, effort, and mistakes that are far too common when trying to search out this information in other ways. Our clients find that the subscription pays for itself many times over.

How frequently is CyberRegs regulatory content updated?

CyberRegs updates regulatory documents every business day. Also, CyberRegs Early Warning Service (EWS) allows you to receive a customized daily or weekly email notifying you of changes to regulations or areas of interest that may affect you and your organization directly.

Is CyberRegs easy to use?

CyberRegs prides itself not only in providing you with quality content, but in providing it in an easy-to-use format that allows you to log on, find what you're looking for, and move on to the next task at hand. This means easy one click navigation, an intuitive layout, and a consistency of tools and formats throughout the site.

CyberRegs follows up on this commitment by providing unlimited, complementary training and support from our premier customer service team. Need help with a search? Have a question? Want customized departmental training? CyberRegs customer service professionals can help with it all.

Can you give me an example of how I would use your service?

As you begin work in the morning, you open the EWS notification that's waiting for you in your email. You see that a New Final rule has been issued on a regulation that affects your business. With one click, you launch the full Federal Register article regarding this issue, so you can review it.

While reviewing the article, it notes a CFR Part it will affect. In CyberRegs, it's a live link directly to that text - so with one more click, you are now in the CFR this change will impact.

Perhaps you wonder if this will also affect a state you have a facility in. With one more click, you launch our Reverse Links tool, which allows you to see if any document in that state references this CFR Part. You locate the needed document on the list, and click - you're now in the state document.

You note that the state document has also been changed recently. Click on CyberRegs' "Track Changes" tool, and you'll find yourself presented with a clear, easy-to-read, color-coded version of the document that shows you clearly what has been added, deleted, or changed in the specified revision.

Realizing this will be of importance to co-workers, you launch our community email tool and send an email with the link to the state document in question, to the other users of your choice.

This is just an example of how CyberRegs simplifies your life and allows you to reach a whole new level of research, communication, and tracking change; and you'll accomplish all this in half the time it would have taken you to simply locate the Federal Register article in the past.

Is there a fee for customer support or training?

Free support is included with your CyberRegs subscription. You may reach CyberRegs Customer Service Team by phone toll free at 800-808-3372, Monday-Friday from 7AM-6PM MST, or via email.

CyberRegs Online Training Sessions are provided free of charge. In less than one hour, our expert trainers will teach you tips and tricks to make your time on CyberRegs more efficient. The CyberRegs User Guides are also available online post-login. Whether you are new to CyberRegs or just want a refresher, our User Guides will give you a quick overview for using site tools. We provide new user training as well as refresher workshops. CyberRegs Customer Service is happy to create a training module specific to your departmental needs.

What is EWS?

EWS service (Early Warning System) is a complementary part of each CyberRegs subscription. It allows each user to create a customized profile that encompasses their regulatory scope; such as parts or part ranges of CFRs, keywords, or topics of interest. This personalized list will then be scrubbed against the Federal Register each day, and a notification will be sent out with the original government summaries of any Notice, Proposed Rule, or Final Rule that affects that user's area of responsibility, along with a link to the full article. CyberRegs customers have found this saves them a great deal of time and money, and allows them to focus on other issues while we do the legwork. View an example of EWS >>

The Early Warning System (EWS) is included with your CyberRegs subscription. You may edit your preferences post-login by clicking the "Option" button in the banner and then choosing EWS Registration.

Are your servers ever down for maintenance?

While CyberRegs content is updated daily, this does not affect your access. When maintenance is required, updating our redundant servers independently generally eliminates the need for the system to be down during updates.

How long does it take for the service to start after I purchase it?

As soon as you let us know the names of the users you want to include, we can create your user accounts and you can log in and start using CyberRegs immediately.

Can I have a CyberRegs custom banner made for my organization?

We will be happy to work with you to create unique artwork that includes your brand.

Can I add my colleagues to my subscription?

We offer subscriptions to fit any size organization. Whether you have one or two people that handle your compliance or 1,000, they can all benefit from CyberRegs productivity-enhancing tools and its comprehensive database of full-text federal and state regulations, statutes, and related compliance documents for environmental, health & safety, and transportation.

How do I get a new password?

When logged into CyberRegs, select Change Personal Information from the Options menu on the right side of the navigation bar. On the new page that opens, click the Change Password button, below your first name. Type your new desired password in the Password and 'Confirm Password' fields, then click the 'Update' button in the lower right corner of the form.

If you cannot login, please contact customer service and we will be happy to help you reset your password. You may reach CyberRegs Customer Service Team by phone toll free at 800-808-3372, Monday-Friday from 7AM-6PM MST, or via email.


Content

What regulations are covered in CyberRegs?

CyberRegs packages are designed for your specific business needs. With that in mind, some portals may not look like others. The standard CyberRegs portal contains U.S. Federal, State, and local regulations, statutes, registers, and other compliance materials related to environment, health & safety, and transportation, and similar online documents for the rest of North America and selected worldwide jurisdictions.

CyberRegs includes:

  • Federal Register
  • Code of Federal Regulations
  • U.S. Code
  • Federal EH&S News
  • Unified Agenda

Does CyberRegs include Building Codes, Protocols or Standards?

Some state codes related to health & safety are included in CyberRegs. Building Codes are available through International Code Council (ICC) or IAPMO portals. Protocols, regulatory policy issues, standards, and regulations for countries around the world can be added to your CyberRegs subscription via leading international EHS content service providers. Standards are available through additional portals from ANSI and ASTM. See our partner page for more details.

Do you have NFPA?

Currently, NFPA standards are available through our solution partner IHS.

Are all states included?

Yes, all 50 states as well as the District of Colombia are included.

What if I also need International Regulations?

CyberRegs includes laws and regulations for Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. In this day and age, many companies have expanded to the point where they need more than North American Regulations. Perhaps your company has global interest in South America or South East Asia, or maybe you just need to stay up to date on the EU.

Protocols, regulatory policy issues, standards, and regulations for 65 countries around the world can be added to your CyberRegs subscription. Citation Technologies' Compliance Continuum is a cost-effective, high quality comprehensive process that enables organizations to efficiently maintain an EHS compliance management system. What that means to you is robust productivity tools, a user-friendly interface, and EHS resources in one centralized location.

What about access to reference documents, such as ASTM standards, in regulations?

If a user has subscribed to ASTM content, whenever an ASTM standard is referenced in CyberRegs regulations, a link to the full-text ASTM document is available.

Conversely, when a partner portal, such as ASTM, references a regulatory document, CyberRegs will provide up-to-date, full-text of that regulation, down to the subparagraph level. For example, a user who is viewing ASTM Section 04, Volume 4.11, E1368-05, will also have access to 40 CFR 60.10 by simply clicking a link.

CyberRegs offers portals and subject expert content from industry leaders such as ANSI, ASTM, Aspen Publishers, ESS, ICC, IAPMO, RTP Environmental, and US Army Corps of Engineers providing you easy access to documents that will increase your regulatory compliance. If you desire particular content, please ask.

Can I establish a Compliance or Legal registry for my operating facilities with CyberRegs?

The citation platform that powers CyberRegs can also be used to organize your organization's internal or proprietary documentation, making it easily accessible and searchable. This not only helps with any auditing you need to perform, but also provides increased productivity by making your company's historical knowledge available to your employees worldwide.

What print formats do I have access to?

You may print directly from CyberRegs using the Printer Friendly button found on every page as well as download all articles in Rich Text Format (RTF) to print from any word processor application. In addition, all Federal Register documents can be downloaded in Portable Document Format (PDF).

Can I search for topics?

CyberRegs makes it easy to find specific regulatory compliance topics quickly. The powerful Keyword Search allows you to designate words to be included (and excluded) from your search and will search all documents or just specifically designated Federal and/or State sources.

What if my computer crashes, how can I find my place in CyberRegs again?

CyberRegs features My Site Log, which allows you to view any number of your most recent pages or sessions, as well as all those within a specific date range.

If I insert annotations, is the information stored on my computer or CyberRegs servers?

Your annotations are stored on the CyberRegs servers, which allow your fellow employees to see them even when you are not online. By storing your data on CyberRegs servers, you are freeing up space and bandwidth on your corporate servers.
