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 />
