CITATION TO THE MARYLAND REGISTER
The Maryland Register is cited by volume, issue, page number, and
date. Example:
• 19:8 Md. R. 815—817 (April 17, 1992) refers to Volume 19, Issue
8, pages 815—817 of the Maryland Register issued on April 17,

CODE OF MARYLAND REGULATIONS (COMAR)
COMAR is the o fficial compilation of all regulations issued by
agencies of the State of Maryland. The Maryland Register is
COMAR’s temporary supplement, printing all changes to regulations
as soon as they occur. At least on ce annually, the changes to
regulations printed in the Maryland Register are incorporated into
COMAR by means of permanent supplements.
CITATION TO COMAR REGULATIONS
COMAR regulations are cited by title number, subtitle number,
chapter number, and regulation number. Example: COMAR
10.08.01.03 refers to Title 10, Subtitle 08, Chapter 01, Regulation 03.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
Incorporation by reference is a legal device by which a docu ment is
made part of COMAR simply by referring to it. While the text of an
incorporated document does not appear in COMAR, the provisions of
the incorporated document are as fully enforceable as any other
COMAR regulation . Each regulation that proposes to incorporate a
document is identified in the Maryland Register by an Editor’s Note.
The Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended
or Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation
incorporating a document. Documents incorporated by reference are
available for in spection in various depository libraries located
throughout the State and at the Division of State Documents. These
depositories are listed in the first issue of the Maryland Register
published each year. For further information, call 410-974-2486.
HOW TO RESEARCH REGULATIONS
An Administrative History at the end of every COMAR chapter gives
information about past changes to regulations. To determine if there have
been any subsequent changes, check the ‘‘Cumulative Table of COMAR
Regulations Adopted, Amended, or Repealed’’ which is found online at
www.dsd.state.md.us/CumulativeIndex.pdf. This table lists the regulations
in numerical order, by their COMAR number, followed by the citation to
the Maryland Register in which the change occurred. The Maryland
Register serves as a temporary supplement to COMAR, and the two
publications must always be used together. A Research Guide for Maryland
Regulations is available. For further information, call 410-260-3876.
