              (NARA) authenticates the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as 
              the official codification of Federal regulations established

              the Federal Register (44 U.S.C. 1510).

          It is prohibited to use NARA's official seal and the stylized Code 
              of Federal Regulations logo on any republication of this 
              material without the express, written permission of the 
              Archivist of the United States or the Archivist's designee. 
              Any person using NARA's official seals and logos in a manner 
              inconsistent with the provisions of 36 CFR part 1200 is 
              subject to the penalties specified in 18 U.S.C. 506, 701, and 
              1017.

This CFR Index and Finding Aids volume is revised once a year as of 
January 1. It contains:
    (1) A subject/agency index for rules currently codified in the Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR).
    (2) A list of agency-prepared indexes appearing in individual CFR 
volumes.
    (3) A table of laws and Presidential documents cited as authority 
for regulations currently codified in the CFR.
    (4) A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts.
    (5) An alphabetical list of agencies appearing in the CFR.

SUBJECT/AGENCY INDEX

This index covers regulations codified in the CFR as of January l, 2018. 
Emphasis is placed on directing users to CFR Parts. A Part in the CFR 
contains the regulations on a single function or specific subject matter 
under control of the issuing agency.

For each Part of the CFR, entries are provided in the index under the 
name of the issuing agency and under as many subjects as required to 
describe the overall content of the Part. The agency name is derived 
from the CFR Chapter headings. The subjects used in the index are taken 
from the thesaurus developed by the Office of the Federal Register and 
published in the Federal Register of September 18, 1990 (55 FR 38443). A 
newer version, revised as of July 1, 2016, is also available 
electronically at www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/thesaurus.pdf. 
The descriptive entries under the subject and agency headings generally 
reflect the Subchapter and Part headings of the regulations. References 
in the index are to CFR Title and Part, e.g., 12 CFR 228 refers to Part 
228 of Title 12. Title 26 Part 1, section references are included, e.g., 
26 CFR 1 (1.1-1.11).

Because the CFR volumes are revised annually in quarterly segments, 
references in the CFR index will include material in the basic CFR 
volumes as well as amendatory material published in the daily Federal 
Register through January 1, 2018. Where a referenced Part cannot be 
found in the CFR volumes, users should consult the ``LSA (List of CFR 
Sections Affected)'' issued monthly and the ``Cumulative List of Parts 
Affected'' which appears daily in the Federal Register. These two lists 
will refer the user to the appropriate Federal Register page for the 
latest amendment of any given regulation.

Users of the CFR Index volume will also find the monthly Federal 
Register Index helpful in locating recent specific changes in agency 
regulations. Where the CFR Index provides a general guide to all 
existing regulations, the Federal Register Index characterizes changes 
to regulations in more specific terms, emphasizing current trends and 
areas of immediate public interest.
