ing documents or classes of documents affected by such suspen-
sions, including requirements relating to their effectiveness or validity,

9 vide for the use of regional or specialized publications or depositories
for documents, or of the press, the radio, or similar mediums of gen-
eral communication. Compliance with alternate systems of filing or
publication shall have the same effect as filing with the Office or pub-
lication in the Federal Register under this chapter or other law or

Federal Register as presumption of validity; judicial

A document required by section 1505 (a) of this title to be published

had actual knowledge of it until the duplicate originals or certified
copies of the document have been filed with the Office of the Federal
Register and a copy made available for public inspection as provided
by section 1503 of this title. Unless otherwise specifically provided by
statute, filing of a document, required or authorized to be published
by section 1505 of this title, except in cases where notice by publica-
tion is insufficient in law, is sufficient to give notice of the contents of
the document to a person subject to or affected by it. The publication
in the Federal Register of a document creates a rebuttable presump-
tion-
(1) that it was duly issued, prescribed, or promulgated;
(2) that it was filed with the Office of the Federal Register and
made available for public inspection at the day and hour stated
in the printed notation;
(3) that the copy contained in the Federal Register is a true
copy of the original ; and
(4) that all requirements of this chapter and the regulations
prescribed under it relative to the document have been complied
with.
The contents of the Federal Register shall be judicially noticed and
without prejudice to any other mode of citation, may be cited by
volume and page number.

thorized to be given by an Act of Congress, or which may otherwise

residing within the States of the Union and the District of Columbia,

2 the notice is published in the Federal Register at such a time that the
3 period between the publication and the date fixed in the notice for the
4 hearing or for the termination of the opportunity to be heard is-
5 (1) not less than the time specifically prescribed for the pub-
6 lication of the notice by the appropriate Act of Congress; or
7 (2) not less than fifteen days when time for publication is not
8 specifically prescribed by the Act, without prejudice, however,
9 to the effectiveness of a notice of less than fifteen days where the
10 shorter period is reasonable.
11 ? 1509. Cost of publication; appropriations authorized; penalty
12 mail privilege
13 Payments made for the Federal Register shall be covered into the
14 Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. The cost of printing, reprinting,

16 expenses incurred by the Government Printing Office in carrying out
17 the duties placed upon it by this chapter shall be borne by the appro-
18 priations to the Government Printing Office and the appropriations
19 are made available, and are authorized to be increased by additional
20 sums necessary for the purposes, the increases to be based upon esti-
21 mates submitted by the Public Printer.
22 Copies of the Federal Register mailed by the Government are en-
23 titled to the free use of the United States mails in the same manner as
24 the official mail of the executive departments of the Government. The
25 cost of mailing the Federal Register to officers and employees of
26 Federal agencies in foreign countries shall be borne by the respective
27 agencies.
28 ? 1510. Code of Federal Regulations

30 the approval of the President, may require, from time to time as it
31 considers necessary, the preparation and publication in special or
32 supplemental editions of the Federal Register of complete codifica-
33 tions of the documents of each agency of the Government having gen-
34 eral applicability and legal effect, issued or promulgated by the agency
35 by publication in the Federal Register or by filing with the Adminis-
36 trative Committee, and are relied upon by the agency as authority for,

10 tion and the collation and republication of the printed codifications

19 amended by documents subsequently filed with the Office and published
20 in the daily issues of the Federal Register, shall be prima facie evi-
21 dence of the text of the documents and of the fact that they are in
22 effect on and after the date of publication.
23 (f) The Administrative Committee shall prescribe, with the ap-
24 proval of the President, regulations for carrying out this section.

1 SEC. 2. (a) The legislative purpose in enacting section 1 of this Act
2 is to restate, without substantive change, the laws replaced by those
3 sections on the effective date of this Act. Laws effective after January
4 14, 1968, that are inconsistent with this Act are considered as super-
5 seding it to the extent of the inconsistency.
6 (b) A reference to a law replaced by section 1 of this Act, including a
7 reference in a regulation, order, or other law, is deemed to refer to the
8 corresponding provision enacted by this Act.
9 (c) An order, rule, or regulation in effect under a law replaced by
10 section 1 of this Act shall continue in effect under the corresponding
11 provision enacted by this Act until repealed, amended, or superseded.
12 (d) An action taken or an offense committed under a law replaced
13 by section 1 of this Act is deemed to have been taken or committed
14 under the corresponding provision enacted by this Act.
15 (e) An inference of a legislative construction is not to be drawn by
16 reason of the location in the United States Code of a provision enacted
17 by this Act or by reason of its caption or catchline.
18 (f) If a provision enacted by this Act is held invalid, all valid
19 provisions that are severable from the invalid provision remain in
20 effect. If a provision of this Act is held invalid in one or more of its
21 applications, the provision remains in effect in all valid applications
22 that are severable from the invalid application or applications.

24 except with respect to rights and duties that matured, penalties that
25 were incurred, and proceedings that were begun, before the effective
