For the purpose of allotments and assignments, the United States is
divided into three zones as follows:
(a) Zone I consists of that portion of the United States located within
the confines of the following lines drawn on the United States Albers
Equal Area Projection Map (based on standard parallels 291/2DEG and
451/2DEG; North American datum): Beginning at the most easterly point
on the State boundary line between North Carolina and Virginia; thence
in a straight line to a point on the Virginia-West Virginia boundary
line located at north latitude 37DEG49' and west longitude 80DEG12'30";
thence westerly along the southern boundary lines of the States of West
Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to a point at the junction of the
Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri State boundary lines; thence northerly
along the western boundary line of the State of Illinois to a point at
the junction of the Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin State boundary lines;
thence easterly along the northern State boundary line of Illinois to
the 90th meridian; thence north along this meridian to the 43.5DEG
parallel; thence east along this parallel to the United States-Canada
border; thence southerly and following that border until it again
intersects the 43.5DEG parallel; thence east along this parallel to the
71st meridian; thence in a straight line to the intersection of the
69th meridian and the 45th parallel; thence east along the 45th
parallel to the Atlantic Ocean. When any of the above lines pass
through a city, the city shall be considered to be located in Zone I.
(See Figure 1 of § 73.699.)
