Often, OP.org members have rule questions and conflicting versions. The BCA Rule Book is available at Muellers Pool and Darts and other billiard supply places: about $6. The One Pocket rules can be viewed and printed from this site by clicking on the header "Playing The Game", and then on the drop down window "Rules".

Just a brief summary as I understand it: The WPA, World Pool-Billiard Association establishes and maintains the world rules. Many countries have their own sanctioning bodies. The BCA, Billiard Congress of America, is the sanctioning body for the USA and is responsible for our rules derived from the WPA. One Pocket.org has 'Grady's Rules', which are traditionally the official rules of One Pocket because the BCA does not have official One Pocket rules. One Pocket Rules generally follow BCA rules.
