Preface

The Code of Federal Regulations, 1949 Edition, contains a codification
of the Federal administrative rules and regulations, general and permanent
in nature, duly promulgated on or before December 31, 1948, and effective
as to facts arising on and after January 1, 1949. This is the second edition of
the Code of Federal Regulations. The first edition, similar in scope and
arrangement, was compiled as of June 1, 1938. Reference to the first edition
and the supplements thereto should be made for Federal administrative rules
affecting facts or circumstances which arose prior to January 1, 1949.

Current regulatory material appearing in the daily issues of the Federal

Register is keyed to this second edition and serves as a daily supplement

to the Code. Each book of this second edition is provided with a pocket

for the insertion of the annual cumulative supplement thereto. Each book

also contains a special subject index. The General Index to the entire

edition is published in a separate volume together with the General Preface

to the 1949 Edition and a reprint of the general preface to the first edition

of the Code of Federal Regulations.

This book contains the rules and regulations constituting Titles 4 and 5

of the Code of Federal Regulations, 1949 Edition. Each section of the
Code is accompanied by a citation of the source document and of the specific
authority under which it was prescribed. All citations of statutory author-
ity and of statutes interpreted or applied by the codified material are tabu-
lated under Title 2 in this edition. This tabulation is designed to lead
users from the Federal statutes codified in the United States Code to the
related administrative legislation codified in this edition of the Code of
Federal Regulations. Title 3 of this edition consists of a tabulation of
Proclamations, Executive orders, and similar documents promulgated by
the President, which are cited or otherwise included in the 1949 Edition.
Title 3 therefore serves as a guide leading from such Presidential documents
to related or dependent codified material.

The 1949 edition is published pursuant to Part 2 of the regulations of

the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, approved by the Presi-

dent October 11, 1948 (13 F. R. 5935; 1 CFR Part 2), under the authority

contained in section 11 (d) of the Federal Register Act as amended (50 Stat.

305; 44 U. S. C. 311 (d)). The contents of the Federal Register and of this

Code are by law prima facie evidence of the text of the original documents

and are required to be judicially noticed (49 Stat. 502, 50 Stat. 304; 44

U. S. C. 307, 311 (c)).

This edition should be cited "CFR." Thus the approved abbreviated

citation of section 1.1 in Title 4 hereof would be "4 CFR 1.1."
