While working on the article the author put an aim to refine the content of the category “act of interpretation of legal norm” and to find out the features of this type of legal act. The analysis of the existing in modern legal science approachesconcerning understanding of the concept "act of interpretation of legal norms" allowed to set forth the following intermediate conclusions that have a methodological value : - firstly, an act of interpretation of legal norms by its external form of expression (by the method of objectivation in the outer world) can be not only a writing document but also to have a verbal form that testifies to the tactlessness of interpretation of the concept investigated by us exceptionally as an official document, that is a material carrier of legal information; - secondly, the aim of acceptance of interpretation and legal act is elucidation of the content of not only legal norms and binding overs of unnormative character but also their particular fragments; - thirdly, a classic act of an official interpretation of the legal norm with the documentary form, are shown not only the reasons and results legal and interpretation process, but its methodological and technological aspects, indicating the will expression of the subject of legal and interpretative activities; - fourthly, the act of interpretation of the legal norms, above all, provides informational influence on the minds of the legally capable subjects to law, and in unity with the legal and normative or legally enforced act regulatory and / or protective effect on their behavior; - fifthly, the act of interpretation of the legal norms cannot include specification of legal norms and, therefore, to introduce new elements of legal regulation.
