HALLEX
Volume II

Transmittal No. II-4-01

Chapter: II-4-000

Subject: Introduction to Preambles to Selected Regulations

Action Note

Remove from HALLEX, Volume II, ACI-III-5-302 which has been rescinded by the Appeals Council pursuant to the Council's meeting en banc on November 2, 1993.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.”

Background

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.

Explanation of Content and Changes

This is a new division containing seven preambles to regulations published in 1991, 1993, and 1994.

Insert

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.

Date: June 15, 1994
