Brief explanation: 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.
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.
- Supplementary publications include
- Presidential documents of the Hoover Administration (two volumes),
- Proclamations 1870-2037 and
- Executive Orders 5076-6070;
- Consolidated Indexes for 1936-1965; and
- Consolidated Tables for 1936-1965.
Presidential documents found in the latest volume may be cited “3 CFR, 2008 Comp.” Thus, the preferred abbreviated citation for Proclamation 8215 appearing on page 1 of the 2008 Compilation, is
- “3 CFR, 2008 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 the latest volume, is
- “3 CFR 100.1.”
