## Abstract

The authority citations for the Social Security Administration (SSA) regulations are being revised. As of March 31, 1995, new regulatory authority was given to the Commissioner of Social Security by the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994 (the Independence Act). The authority citations are being revised where appropriate to reflect this change in authority and other changes in the law to provide updated citations for the public.
