Other features of the service are summarized below under FEATURES.

Each loose-leaf book contains:

• One 1-1/2" or 2" binder, with spine and front cover labels.

• Introductory material consisting of:

• Title (cover) page
• General Instructions
• Table of Contents
• Supplement Filing Record
• Table of Effective Pages.

• Plastic index tabs for every section of the introductory material as well as every substantive Part and major Subpart of the CFR included in that volume.

UPDATE INFORMATION

Supplement (update) frequency:
    All loose-leaf books are updated at the end of every month during which a final rule change is made and published in the Federal Register.
    One or more months may pass without a change, accounting for the absence of updates in your mailbox. However, if a change is made, you will always receive a supplement containing the new material at the end of that month.

ORDERING INFORMATION

What you need:

Most subscribers buy the General (GEN) book, regardless of their geographical location. It contains regulations of general applicability to all marine fisheries, as well as regulations covering international fisheries, endangered and threatened species, and national marine sanctuaries.

They then add the one book that covers the geographical area in which they are operating, e.g., NE/MA or SA/C/G.

Only those with a particular interest in marine mammals and whaling use the Administrative (ADM) book.

Thus a typical subscriber, working in the New England area, would order one (1) General (GEN) book, and one (1) New England/Mid-Atlantic book.

Review the material under CONTENTS, above, if you have questions about the book or books applicable to your needs.
