What format should I use for citing a regulation
<p>I want to cite section II.C.2.b of <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/05/09/2016-10032/medicare-program-merit-based-incentive-payment-system-mips-and-alternative-payment-model-apm" rel="nofollow">this proposed rule</a> in my comments to the federal agency (Medicare). Is "II.C.2.b" the correct format? Or II(C)(2)(b)? Something else?</p>

<p>I can't find online anywhere how I am supposed to format different bullet levels.</p>

<p>For Federal Register citations, people typically cite the codified version.  The generally accepted standard for U.S. legal citations is the BlueBook, and in this case Rule 14...but <a href="http://libraryguides.nesl.edu/content.php?pid=358326&amp;sid=2934955" rel="nofollow">this excerpt</a> might get you going in the right direction.</p>

<p>If you are citing to the proposed rule, one normally cites to the page number in the Federal Register. </p>

<p>You would download the PDF from the web site you linked to in order to find the page numbers.</p>
