§ 4-1.006-3 Copies.

Copies of AGPR in FEDERAL REGISTER and Code of Federal Regulations form may be purchased by the public, at nominal cost, from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

§ 4-1.007 Arrangement.

§ 4-1.007-1 General plan.

The general plan, numbering system, and nomenclature used in the AGPR conform with FEDERAL REGISTER standards approved for the FPR.

§ 4-1.007-2 Numbering.

The numbering system permits identification of every unit. The first digit, "4", represents the chapter allocated to the Department, followed by a dash. This is followed by the part number (which may be one or more digits) followed by a decimal point. The numbers after the decimal point represent respectively, the subpart, section (in two digits), and after the dash, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, and further inferior divisions. For example, this division is called "§ 4-1.007-2", in which the first digit denotes the chapter, the second the part, the third the subpart, the fourth and fifth the section, and the sixth the subsection.

§ 4-1.007-3 Citation.

AGPR will be cited in accordance with FEDERAL approved REGISTER standards. Thus, this section should be cited as "41 CFR 4-1.0073." Any section of AGPR may be informally identified for purposes of brevity, as "AGPR" followed by the section number, such as "AGPR 4-1.007-3".

§ 4-1.008 Agency implementation.

As portions of AGPR material are prescribed, agencies within the Department may publish in the FEDERAL REGISTER implementing regulations deemed necessary, as outlined in § 41.006-2. Detailed instructions of interest primarily for internal agency guidance will not be published in the FEDERAL REGISTER. All implementing regulations shall be prepared to conform with FPR style and arrangement, except that the looseleaf format may be in a single column per page. Regulations or instructions issued by agencies of the Department will be identified by the use of alphabetical suffixes with the chapter number as follows:
