Common use of EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION Clause in Contracts

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION. DATES Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal Reg- ister since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication dates and effective dates are usu- ally not the same and care must be exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In instances where the effective date is beyond the cut- off date for the Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be inserted following the text. OMB CONTROL NUMBERS The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96–511) requires Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information collection request. Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as amend- ments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting requirements. PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date in the past by using the appro- priate List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ‘‘List of CFR Sections Affected’’ is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to 2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published for 1949- 1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000. ‘‘[RESERVED]’’ TERMINOLOGY The term ‘‘[Reserved]’’ is used as a place holder within the Code of Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a ‘‘[Reserved]’’ loca- tion at any time. Occasionally ‘‘[Reserved]’’ is used editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and not accidentally dropped due to a print- ing or computer error. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the requirement to publish regu- lations in the Federal Register by referring to materials already published else- where. For an incorporation to be valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal effect of incorporation by reference is that the mate- rial is treated as if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force of law. What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which approval is based are:
