I am curious whether federal regulations have traceability to the Congressional law that it corresponds to. In other words, does a specific federal regulation state that it’s legal authority is tied a specific law? That would make it easier to update or remove the law if Congress amends the legislation at a later date.

If not, then does not the Chevron decision undermine the legitimacy of all federal regulations as no one knows which Congressional law justifies it?
