CFR Structure<br />
The CFR is organized using a numerical system. Each<br />
volume is subdivided using the following hierarchy:<br />
Title<br />
Chapter<br />
Part<br />
Subpart<br />
Section<br />
Paragraph<br />
Subparagraphs<br />
Titles are written in numbers (usually<br />
with two digits) in front <strong>of</strong> the<br />
acronym CFR. [example, 40 CFR]<br />
Chapter numbers are written in<br />
roman numerals following the word<br />
Chapter after the acronym CFR.<br />
[example, 40 CFR Chapter I]<br />
Parts are written in numbers. Part<br />
numbers are assigned numerically<br />
beginning with 1 and continuing<br />
until the regulation is finished (as<br />
high as 1499). [example, 261]<br />
Subparts are written in capital letters<br />
A through Z and continuing AA<br />
through ZZ. [example, C]<br />
Sections are written as numbers<br />
immediately following the decimal<br />
point. Section numbers begin with<br />
the number 1 and continue numerically<br />
until the part is finished.<br />
[example, .7]<br />
Paragraphs are written using small<br />
letters beginning with a. Paragraph<br />
designations are placed inside parentheses.<br />
[example, (a)]<br />
Subparagraphs are written as small<br />
case roman numbers. Subparagraph<br />
numbers are also placed inside<br />
parentheses and will always follow a<br />
paragraph number.<br />
