future acquisitions, comprising the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 10cated in Montgomery County, Maryland and over which the United States acquires exclusive criminal jurisdiction under the Act of March 31, 1953, Chapter 158, Laws of Maryland 1953 (Md.

§3.2 Applicability.

(a) The regulations in this part apply to all areas in the enclave and to all persons on or within the enclave, except as otherwise provided. The regulations prescribe penal sanctions in § 3.61, and are in addition to: (1) Any administrative rules prescribed by the Director under Title 5 U.S. Code 301; (2) the General Services Administration Regulations in 41 CFR Part 10120.3 relating to conduct on Federal property; and (3) § 73.735-305 of this title applicable to employees, to the extent that those rules and regulations are consistent with the provisions of this part (in the event of a conflict this part shall control). They supplement those penal provisions of Title 18 U.S. Code relating to crimes and criminal procedure, which apply without regard to the place of the offense and those penal provisons which apply in areas under the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, as defined in 18 U.S. Code 7. However, they supersede those provisions of State law which are made Federal criminal offenses by virtue of the Assimilative Crimes Act (18 U.S. Code 13) to the extent that they are in conflict with the regulations in this part. State and local criminal laws are applicable as such only to the extent that authority in that regard has been reserved to the

State by the State consent or cession statute or vested in the State by Federal statute.

(b) The provisions of this part do not apply to occupants, their visitors and other authorized persons in areas used as living quarters (1) when specifically made inapplicable, and (2) in the case of the following provisions: § 3.24 Parking permits; § 3.26 Servicing of vehicles; and § 3.43(c) Hobbies and sports.
