This book contains the rules and regulations constituting Title 8, revised
as of January 1, 1958. The volume was first published in 1949, and revised
as of December 31, 1952. This volume replaces the 1952 revision, and
becomes an integral part of the Code of Federal Regulations. In con-
solidating the material contained in the 1952 revision with subsequent
changes and additions, there have been included all rules and regulations,
general and permanent in nature, duly published in the Federal Register
on or before December 31, 1957, and effective as to facts arising on or
after January 1, 1958.
This book is provided with a pocket for the insertion of annual cumulative
supplements. Current regulatory material appearing in the daily issues
of the Federal Register follows the numbering system used herein and serves
as a daily supplement hereto. The book contains a subject index. It also
contains lists of sections affected since the publication of the 1949 volume.
These lists furnish Federal Register citations to all changes in the material
since January 1, 1949, including changes which are no longer in effect.
This book 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 (f) of the Federal Register Act as amended (67
Stat. 388; 44 U. S. C. 311 (f)). The contents of the Federal Register
and of the Code of Federal Regulations are by law prima facie evidence
of the text of the original documents and are required to be judicially
noticed (49 Stat. 502, 67 Stat. 388; 44 U. S. C. 307, 311 (e)). The
approved citation of the Code is "CFR." Thus the citation "8 CFR 1.1"
refers to Section 1.1 of this Title.
A General Preface to the Code of Federal Regulations appears in the
volume containing Titles 1-3 and also in the General Index volume.
