About this annual edition

The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into parts covering specific regulatory areas.

Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each volume.

This title

Explanation of This Title

This volume of “Title 3—The President” contains a compilation of Presidential documents and a codification of regulations issued by the Executive Office of the President.

The 2001 Compilation contains the full text of those documents signed by the President that were required to be published in the

Federal Register.

Signature date rather than publication date is the criterion for inclusion. With each annual volume, the Presidential documents signed in the previous year become the new compilation.

Chapter I contains regulations issued by the Executive Office of the President. This section is a true codification like other CFR volumes, in that its contents are organized by subject or regulatory area and are updated by individual issues of the

Federal Register

Presidential documents in this volume may be cited “3 CFR, 2001 Comp.” Thus, the preferred abbreviated citation for Proclamation 7390 appearing on page 1 of this book, is “3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 1.” Chapter I entries may be cited “3 CFR.” Thus, the preferred abbreviated citation for section 100.1, appearing in chapter I of this book, is “3 CFR 100.1.”

This book is one of the volumes in a series that began with Proclamation 2161 of March 19, 1936, and Executive Order 7316 of March 13, 1936, and that has been continued by means of annual compilations and periodic cumulations. The entire Title 3 series, as of January 1, 2002, is encompassed in the volumes listed on page iv.

For readers interested in proclamations and Executive orders prior to 1936, there is a two-volume set entitled

Proclamations and Executive Orders, Herbert Hoover

(March 4, 1929, to March 4, 1933). Codified Presidential documents are published in the

Codification of Presidential Proclamations and Executive Orders

(April 13, 1945—January 20, 1989). Other public Presidential documents not required to be published in the

Federal Register

, such as speeches, messages to Congress, and statements, can be found in the

Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents

and the

Public Papers of the Presidents

series. Each of these Office of the Federal Register publications is available for sale from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

This book was prepared in the Presidential Documents and Legislative Division by Karen A. Thornton, with the assistance of John S. Ashlin and Karen L. Ashlin.

How to use this edition

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

The

Code of Federal Regulations

is kept up to date by the individual issues of the

Federal Register

. These two publications must be used together to determine the latest version of any given rule.

To determine whether a

Code

volume has been amended since its revision date (in this case, January 1, 2002), consult the “List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA),” which is issued monthly, and the “Cumulative List of Parts Affected,” which appears in the Reader Aids section of the daily

Federal Register

. These two lists will identify the

Federal Register

page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

Each volume of the

Code

contains amendments published in the

Federal Register

since the last revision of that volume of the

Code

. Source citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page number of the

Federal Register

and date of publication. Publication dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the

Code

a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In those instances where a regulation published in the

Federal Register

states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be inserted following the text.
