TO AZTAR:
You were correct to call it a law. Apart from the constitution, there are three sources of law: statute, the common law (incl. case law), and administrative regulations.
DOT regulations have the force of law. If it were otherwise, DOT would not have been able to fine airlines for breaches of its regulations as indeed they fined Spirit $350,000 in December 2008.
The citation CFR means "Code of Federal Regulations".
