Chapter: II-4-000
Subject: Introduction to Preambles to Selected Regulations
Remove from HALLEX, Volume II, ACI-III-5-302 which has been rescinded by the Appeals Council pursuant to the Council's meeting en banc on November 2, 1993. A replacement ACI will be issued under separate cover.
Delete the last sentence of HALLEX, Volume I, § I-002A., and substitute “Part 4 contains the preambles to selected regulations having significant impact on OHA.”
When the Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a final regulation in the Federal Register, a preamble containing explanatory material precedes the regulatory provisions. The preamble is not, however, included in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Therefore, we are adding to HALLEX the preamble to selected regulations having significant impact on OHA. Ready access to these preambles will assist adjudicators in understanding, interpreting, and applying the regulations.
This is a new division containing seven preambles to regulations published in 1991, 1993, and 1994.
Designate a binder for Volume II, Part 4 and insert the checklist, Introduction to Preambles to Selected Regulations, and Index of Preambles. Insert the preambles behind the Index.
