table of CFR segment III (following period) subdivisions
Analogous to the five subdivisions of the U.S. Code (i.e., starting with subsection (a), (b), (c) through subclause (I), (II), (III)), I'm seeking a table of the subdivisions used for the CFR, which do not sequence the subdivisions in the same manner as the USC.
Answer
Thank you for your question.
You can find an explanation of the structural hierarchy of CFR segments in 1 CFR Ch. I, Pt. 21: Preparation of Documents Subject to Codification.
Also available in the eCFR at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-1/chapter-I/subchapter-E/part-21
See especially the section on numbering:
NUMBERING
§ 21.11 Standard organization of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The standard organization consists of the following structural units:
(a) Titles, which are numbered consecutively in Arabic throughout the Code;
(b) Subtitles, which are lettered consecutively in capitals throughout the title;
(c) Chapters, which are numbered consecutively in Roman capitals throughout each title;
(d) Subchapters, which are lettered consecutively in capitals throughout the chapter;
(e) Parts, which are numbered in Arabic throughout each title;
(f) Subparts, which are lettered in capitals;
(g) Sections, which are numbered in Arabic throughout each part. A section number includes the number of the part followed by a period and the number of the section. For example, the section number for section 15 of part 21 is ‘‘§21.15’’; and
(h) Paragraphs, which are designated as follows:
level 1 (a), (b), (c), etc.
level 2 (1), (2), (3), etc.
level 3 (i), (ii), (iii), etc.
level 4 (A), (B), (C), etc.
level 5 (1), (2), (3), etc.
level 6 (i), (ii), (iii), etc.
[54 FR 9682, Mar. 7, 1989; 54 FR 23343, May 31, 1989]
§ 21.12 Reservation of numbers.
In a case where related parts or related sections are grouped under a heading, numbers may be reserved at the end of each group to allow for expansion.
