U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REGULATIONS AND AMENDMENTS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER FROM JULY 1977 TO JULY 1978 ARE CODIFIED.
Abstract
THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS CONSISTS OF 50 TITLES COVERING BROAD AREAS SUBJECT TO FEDERAL REGULATION. EACH TITLE IS DIVIDED INTO CHAPTERS, WHICH USUALLY BEAR THE NAME OF THE AGENCY ISSUING THE REGULATIONS, AND THE CHAPTERS ARE FURTHER DIVIDED INTO PARTS COVERING SPECIFIC REGULATORY AREAS. THE TITLES ARE UPDATED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, SO THAT EACH VOLUME OF THE CODE CONTAINS ALL AMENDMENTS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER SINCE THE VOLUME'S LAST REVISION. THE CODE MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL ISSUES OF THE FEDERAL REGISTER TO DETERMINE THE LATEST VERSION OF ANY GIVEN RULE. THIS VOLUME OPENS WITH DETAILS OF ORGANIZATION AND DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY WITHIN THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. SUBSEQUENT SECTIONS PERTAIN TO SPECIFIC DEPARTMENTAL FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING: PAROLE, RELEASE, SUPERVISION, AND RECOMMITMENT OF PRISONERS, YOUTH OFFENDERS, AND JUVENILE DELINQUENTS; CONTRABAND IN FEDERAL PRISONS; LEAA ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PROCEDURES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT; CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEMS; WITNESS FEES; CONFIDENTIALITY OF IDENTIFIABLE RESEARCH AND STATISTICAL INFORMATION; AND LEAA IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROJECT NOTIFICATION AND REIVEW SYSTEM. A SEPARATE CHAPTER COVERS INMATE ACCIDENT COMPENSATION IN FEDERAL PRISON INDUSTRIES. THE VOLUME ALSO INCLUDES 'FINDING AIDS'--SUBJECT AND AGENCY GUIDES TO OTHER TITLES AND A LIST OF CODE SECTIONS AFFECTED BY DOCUMENTS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER SINCE 1964. (LKM)
