These documents cover a wide range of Government activities. Here, Government requirements are published which involve environmental protection, consumer product safety, food and drug standards, occupational health and safety, and many more areas of concern to the public. Perhaps more importantly, the Federal Register includes proposed changes in regulated areas. Each proposed change published carries an invitation for any citizen or group to participate in the consideration of the proposed regulation through the submission of written data, views, or arguments, and sometimes by oral presentations. Through the publication of proposed rules and notices of public meetings, citizens are given the opportunity to be informed about and participate in the workings of their Government. The Federal Register Index is based on a consolidation of entries appearing in the issues of the Federal Register together with broad references. It is published monthly and is cumulated for 12 months. All Federal Register publications are available for purchase from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is a codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by execu tive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. It includes all statutory regulations of Federal agencies, and is divided into 50 titles which represent broad subject areas of Federal regulations (eg, Housing and Urban Development, Public Health, Public Welfare, or Transportation). Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into parts covering specific regulatory areas. The number preceding the CFR citation is the title or volume number. The CFR is kept up-todate by the individual issues of the Federal Register, these two publications must be used together to determine the latest version of any given rule. Individual volumes of the CFR are revised at least once each calendar year and issued on a staggered quarterly basis. The CFR thus serves as a convenient reference for the citizen desiring a comprehensive source for general and permanent Federal regulations. A general index to the entire Code of Federal Regulations, the CFR Index, is revised as of July 1 each year. The numerical Finding Aids, a cumulative list of CFR Sections affected is published monthly and is cumulated for 12 months, keyed to the revision dates of the various Budget in Brief, and 4) The Special Analyses, Budget of the U.S. Government. The Budget of the U.S. Government provides information on spending programs that the President proposes for the coming fiscal year. For program identification purposes, the last three digits of the identification code in the program description section in the Catalog is the functional code. (The functional code permits the budget to be stated in terms of the single function which represents its major purpose e.g., Education, Energy, Health, Transportation, etc.). These codes are contained in the budget Table 17, Budget Outlays by Function, 19701980. Each chapter of the Appendix to the Budget is divided by programs authorized by existing legislation (including extensions and renewals) and programs requiring new legislation. The Appendix provides information on Federal programs, and is a more detailed document which identifies specific amounts (as shown in the budget) for each existing or proposed program. Supplemental proposals and amendments for the current year are also identified. This document may be used to reference the obligations section of program descriptions in the Catalog which indicate financial outlays for the past, current, and future fiscal years. The Budget in Brief is a more concise document which provides a technical overview of the budget. It also provides graphic displays, and summary and historical tables on the Federal budget. The Special Analyses, Budget of the U.S. Government contains special analyses that are designed to highlight specific program areas or provide other significant presentations of Federal budget data. STATE CENTRAL INFORMATION RECEPTION A State Central Information Reception Agency (SCIRA) is an office or unit of State government designated by the Governor to receive notification of grant awards issued under the provisions of Treasury Circular 1082. Federal agencies are required to notify the appropriate SCIRA in each State of Federal financial assistance awarded and subsequent related transactions including changes in the value or duration of a grant. For basic reporting (grants awarded to States or political subdivisions), Federal agencies submit a Report of Federal Action to the appropriate SCIRA using SF 424. Supplemental reporting (all other Federal assistance to any recipient) is submitted to the SCIRA using individual agency procedures. (See Appendix I of the Catalog for programs designated as basic or supplemental.) The SCIRA in each State is set up primarily to serve the Governor and the legislature. The extent to which it is equipped to serve others such as local governments or the general public varies from State to State.
