Preface
As the official handbook of the Federal Government, The United States
Government Manual provides comprehensive information on the agencies
of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches. The Manual also
includes information on quasi-official agencies; international
organizations in which the United States participates; and boards,
commissions, and committees.
A typical agency description includes a list of principal officials, a
summary statement of the agency's purpose and role in the Federal
Government, a brief history of the agency, including its legislative
or executive authority, a description of its programs and activities,
and a ``Sources of Information'' section. This last section provides
information on consumer activities, contracts and grants, employment,
publications, and many other areas of public interest.
The 1991/92 Manual was prepared by the Legislative Unit, Office of the
Federal Register. Gwendolyn J. Henderson was Managing Editor; Gregory
R. Walton, Rochelle Cohen, and Alfred Jones were Assistant Editors.
This year's Manual cover depicts a view of the Washington Monument
facing east from Constitution Gardens.
The Federal Register and Its Special Editions
The Manual is published as a special edition of the Federal Register
ested in detailed organizational structure, the regulatory documents
of an agency, or Presidential documents should refer to the Federal
Register or one of its other special editions, described below.
Issued each Federal working day, the Federal Register provides a
uniform system for publishing Presidential documents, regulatory
documents with general applicability and legal effect, proposed rules,
notices, and documents required to be published by statute.
The Code of Federal Regulations is an annual codification of the
general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register. The
Code is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to
Federal regulation. The Code is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register.
The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents serves as a timely,
up-to-date reference source for the public policies and activities of
the President. It contains the remarks, news conferences, messages,
statements, and other Presidential material of a public nature issued
by the White House during the week reported.
A companion publication to the Weekly Compilation is the Public Papers
of the Presidents, which contains public Presidential documents and
speeches in convenient book form. Volumes of the Public Papers have
been published for every President since Herbert Hoover, with the
exception of Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose papers were published
privately.
Other Office of the Federal Register Publications
The Office of the Federal Register publishes slip laws, which are
pamphlet prints of each public and private law enacted by Congress.
Slip laws are compiled annually as the United States Statutes at
Large. The Statutes volumes contain all public and private laws and
concurrent resolutions enacted during a session of Congress;
recommendations for executive, legislative, and judicial salaries;
reorganization plans; proposed and ratified amendments to the
Constitution; and Presidential proclamations. Included with many of
these documents are sidenotes, U.S. Code and statutes citations, and a
summary of their legislative histories.
The Codification of Presidential Proclamations and Executive Orders
provides in one reference source proclamations and Executive orders
issued from the Truman through the Reagan administrations that have
general applicability and continuing legal effect. The Codification is
divided into 50 chapters representing broad subject areas.
Incorporated into each codified document are all amendments that were
in effect on the most recent revision date.

The Declaration of Independence
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold
these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right
of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing
its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect
their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
Governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off
such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is
now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems
of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a
history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct
object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To
prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused
his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public
good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and
pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his
Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly
neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the
accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would
relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right
inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called
together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and
distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole
purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has
dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly
firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for
a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;
whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have
returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State
remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from
without, and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the
population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for
Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage
their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new
Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of
Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary
powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure
of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has
erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers
to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among
us, in times of peace, Standing Armies, without the Consent of our
legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of
and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to
subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of
pretended Legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for
any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these
States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For
imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many
cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond
Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free
System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing
therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to
render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the
same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters,
abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the
Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and
declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all
cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us
out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our
seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of
our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign
Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely
paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head
of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken
Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become
the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves
by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and
has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the
merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an
undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In
every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the
most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by
repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We
have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of
the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in
War, in Peace Friends.
We, Therefore, the Representatives of the United States of Ame
rica, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge
of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and
by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish
and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be
Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all
Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection
between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be
totally disolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have
full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish
Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States
may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to
each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of America.
Article I
Section 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a
Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the
several States which may be included within this Union, according to
their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the

Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all
other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years
after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and
within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they

Section 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two
Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six
Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first
Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three
Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated
at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the
Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the
Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every
second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise,
during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive
thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the
Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of
thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and
who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which
he shall be chosen.
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the
Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro
tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall
exercise the Office of President of the United States.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When
sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When
the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall
preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the concurrence of
two thirds of the Members present. Judgment in Cases of Impeachment
shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and
disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or
Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall
nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and
Punishment, according to law.
Section 4. The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for
Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the
Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or

The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such
Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by
Law appoint a different Day.
Section 5. Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and
Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall
constitute a Quorum to do business; but a smaller Number may adjourn
from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of
absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House
may provide.
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its
Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two
thirds, expel a Member.
Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to
time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment
require Secrecy; and the yeas and Nays of the Members of either House
on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be
entered on the Journal.
Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the
Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any
other place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.
Section 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a
Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid
out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases,
except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from
Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective
Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any
Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any
other Place.
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was
elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the
United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments
whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person
holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of
either House during his Continuance in Office.
Section 7. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House
of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with
Amendments as on other Bills.
Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and
the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the
President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if
not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it
shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on
their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such
Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill,
it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by
which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds
of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes
of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of
the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the
Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned
by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall
have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as
if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent
its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the
Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a
question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the
United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be
approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two
thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the
Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.
Section 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes,

1\New York ratified the Constitution on July 26, 1788, but did not
elect its Senators until July 15 and 16, 1789. North Carolina did not
ratify the Constitution until November 21, 1789; Rhode Island on May
29, 1790.
The Senate is composed of 100 Members, 2 from each State, who are
elected to serve for a term of 6 years. Senators were originally
chosen by the State legislatures. This procedure was changed by the
seventeenth amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1913, which made
the election of Senators a function of the people. There are three
classes of Senators, and a new class is elected every 2 years.
The House of Representatives comprises 435 Representatives. The number
representing each State is determined by population, but every State
is entitled to at least one Representative. Members are elected by the
people for 2-year terms, all terms running for the same period.
Both the Senators and the Representatives must be residents of the
State from which they are chosen. In addition, a Senator must be at
least 30 years of age and must have been a citizen of the United
States for at least 9 years; a Representative must be at least 25
years of age and must have been a citizen for at least 7 years.
A Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico (elected for a 4-year term)
and Delegates from American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Guam, and
the Virgin Islands complete the composition of the Congress of the
United States. Delegates are elected for a term of 2 years. The
Resident Commissioner and Delegates may take part in the floor
discussions, but have no vote. They do vote in the committees to which
they are assigned.
Officers The Vice President of the United States is the Presiding
Officer of the Senate; in his absence the duties are taken over by a
President pro tempore, elected by that body, or someone designated by
him. The Presiding Officer of the House of Representatives, the
Speaker, is elected by the House; he may designate any Member of the
House to act in his absence.
The positions of Senate majority and minority leader have been in
existence only since the early years of the 20th century. Leaders are
elected at the beginning of each new Congress by a majority vote of
the Senators in their political party. In cooperation with their party
organizations, leaders are responsible for the design and achievement
of a legislative program. This involves managing the flow of
legislation, expediting noncontroversial measures, and keeping Members
informed regarding proposed action on pending business. Each leader
serves as an ex officio member of his party's policymaking and
organizational bodies and is aided by an assistant floor leader (whip)
and a party secretary.
The Secretary of the Senate, elected by vote of the Senate, performs
the duties of the Presiding Officer of the Senate in the absence of
the Vice President and pending the election of a President pro
tempore. The Secretary is the custodian of the seal of the Senate,
draws requisitions on the Secretary of the Treasury for moneys
appropriated for the compensation of Senators, officers, and
employees, and for the contingent expenses of the Senate, and is
empowered to administer oaths to any officer of the Senate and to any
witness produced before it. The Secretary's executive duties include
certification of extracts from the Journal of the Senate; the
attestation of bills and joint, concurrent, and Senate resolutions; in
impeachment trials, issuance, under the authority of the Presiding
Officer, of all orders, mandates, writs, and precepts authorized by
the Senate; and certification to the President of the United States of
the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification of treaties and
the names of persons confirmed or rejected upon the nomination of the
President.
The Sergeant at Arms of the Senate is elected by and serves as the
Executive Officer of that body. She directs and supervises the various
departments and facilities under her jurisdiction. She is also the Law
Enforcement and Protocol Officer. As Law Enforcement Officer, she has
statutory power to make arrests; to locate absentee Senators for a
quorum; to enforce Senate rules and regulations as they pertain to the
Senate Chamber, the Senate wing of the Capitol, and the Senate Office
Buildings. She serves as a member of the Capitol Police Board and as
its chairman each odd year; and, subject to the Presiding Officer,
maintains order in the Senate Chamber. As Protocol Officer, she is
responsible for many aspects of ceremonial functions, including the
inauguration of the President of the United States; arranging funerals
of Senators who die in office; escorting the President when he
addresses a Joint Session of Congress or attends any function in the
Senate; and escorting heads of state when they visit the Senate.
The Clerk of the House is the chief legislative, administrative, and
budgetary officer of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Clerk is
responsible for directing legislative activities of the House such as
keeping the Journal, taking all votes, certifying passage of bills,
and processing all legislation. The Clerk also prepares the budget for
the House, disburses funds, and serves as the contracting officer of
the House. In addition, the Clerk is the purchaser and provider of all
furnishings, office equipment, and office supplies.
Committees The work of preparing and considering legislation is done
largely by committees of both Houses of Congress. There are 16
standing committees in the Senate and 22 in the House of
Representatives. The standing committees of the Senate and the House
of Representatives are shown in the list below. In addition, there are
special committees in each House, and various congressional
commissions and joint committees composed of members of both Houses.
Each House may also appoint special investigating committees.
The membership of the standing committees of each House is chosen by a
vote of the entire body; members of other committees are appointed
under the provisions of the measure establishing them.
Each bill and resolution is usually referred to the appropriate
committee, which may report a bill out in its original form, favorably
or unfavorably, recommend amendments, or allow the proposed
legislation to die in committee without action.

Congressional Record Proceedings of Congress are published in the
Congressional Record, which is issued when Congress is in session.
Publication of the Record began March 4, 1873; it was the first record
of debate officially reported, printed, and published directly by the
Federal Government. The Daily Digest of the Congressional Record,
printed in the back of each issue of the Record, summarizes the
proceedings of that day in each House, and before each of their
committees and subcommittees, respectively. The Digest also presents
the legislative program for each day and, at the end of the week,
gives the program for the following week. Its publication was begun
March 17, 1947.

CONGRESS
Sessions Section 4 of Article I of the Constitution makes it mandatory
that ``The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year. . .
.'' Under this provision, also, the date for convening Congress was
designated originally as the first Monday in December, ``unless they
shall by Law appoint a different Day.'' Eighteen acts were passed, up
to 1820, providing for the meeting of Congress on other days of the
year. From 1820 to 1934, however, Congress met regularly on the first
Monday in December. In 1934 the Twentieth Amendment changed the
convening of Congress to January 3, unless Congress ``shall by law
appoint a different day.'' In addition, the President, according to
Article II, section 3, of the Constitution ``may, on extraordinary
Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of
Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he
may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper. . . .''
Powers of Congress Article I, section 8, of the Constitution defines
the powers of Congress. Included are the powers to assess and collect
taxes called the chief power; to regulate commerce, both interstate
and foreign; to coin money; to establish post offices and post roads;
to establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court; to declare war; and
to raise and maintain an army and navy. Congress is further empowered
``To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the
Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;'' and ``To make all
Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution
the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution
in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or
Officer thereof.''
Amendments to the Constitution Another power vested in the Congress is
the right to propose amendments to the Constitution, whenever
two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary. Should two-thirds
of the State legislatures demand changes in the Constitution, it is
the duty of Congress to call a constitutional convention. Proposed
amendments shall be valid as part of the Constitution when ratified by
the legislatures or by conventions of three-fourths of the States, as
one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by Congress.
Special Powers of the Senate Under the Constitution, the Senate is
granted certain powers not accorded to the House of Representatives.
The Senate approves or disapproves certain Presidential appointments
by majority vote, and treaties must be concurred in by a two-thirds
vote.
Special Powers of the House of Representatives The House of
Representatives is granted the power of originating all bills for the
raising of revenue.
Both Houses of Congress act in impeachment proceedings, which,
according to the Constitution, may be instituted against the
President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United
States. The House of Representatives has the sole power of
impeachment, and the Senate has the sole power to try impeachments.
Prohibitions upon Congress Section 9 of Article I of the Constitution
also imposes prohibitions upon Congress. ``The Privilege of the Writ
of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of
Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.'' A bill of
attainder or an ex post facto law cannot be passed. No export duty can
be imposed. Ports of one State cannot be given preference over those
of another State. ``No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in
Consequence of Appropriations made by Law. . . .'' No title of
nobility may be granted.
Rights of Members According to section 6 of Article I, Members of
Congress are granted certain privileges. In no case, except in
treason, felony, and breach of the peace, can Members be arrested
while attending sessions of Congress ``and in going to and returning
from the same. . . .'' Furthermore, the Members cannot be questioned
in any other place for remarks made in Congress. Each House may expel
a Member of its body by a two-thirds vote.
Enactment of Laws All bills and joint resolutions must pass both the
House of Representatives and the Senate and must be signed by the
President, except those proposing a constitutional amendment, in order
to become law, or be passed over the President's veto by a two-thirds
vote of both Houses of Congress. Section 7 of Article I states: ``If
any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days
(Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same
shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the
Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it
shall not be a Law.''
When a bill or joint resolution is introduced in the House, the usual
procedure for its enactment into law is as follows:
Assignment to House committee having jurisdiction;
If favorably considered, it is reported to the House either in its
original form or with recommended amendments;
If the bill or resolution is passed by the House, it is messaged to
the Senate and referred to the committee having jurisdiction;
In the Senate committee the bill, if favorably considered, may be
reported in the form as received from the House, or with recommended
amendments;
The approved bill or resolution is reported to the Senate, and if
passed by that body, is returned to the House;
If one body does not accept the amendments to a bill by the other
body, a conference committee comprised of Members of both bodies is
usually appointed to effect a compromise;
When the bill or joint resolution is finally approved by both Houses,
it is signed by the Speaker (or Speaker pro tempore) and the Vice
President (or President pro tempore or acting President pro tempore)
and is presented to the President;
Once the President's signature is affixed, the measure becomes a law.
If the President vetoes the bill, it cannot become a law unless it is
repassed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses.

ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL
U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC 20515
Phone, 202 225 1200
Architect of the Capitol
George M. White
The Architect of the Capitol is responsible for the care and
maintenance of the Capitol Building and nearby buildings and grounds
while implementing reconstruction and landscape improvement projects
according to the original intent of the Capitol's designers.
The first Architect of the Capitol was appointed in 1793 by the
President of the United States. During the period of the construction
of the Capitol (1793 1865), appointments were made to the position of
Architect at such times and for such periods as the various stages of
the construction work required. The office of Architect has been
continuous, however, from 1851 to the present.
Originally, the duties of the Architect of the Capitol were to plan
and construct the Capitol Building and, later, to supervise its care
and maintenance. The functions of the office have changed materially
through the years in accordance with the increased activities imposed
upon it by Congress, due principally to the addition of new buildings
and grounds.
Permanent authority for the care and maintenance of the Capitol
Building is provided by act of August 15, 1876 (40 U.S.C. 162, 163).
This act has been amended from time to time to provide for the care
and maintenance of the additional buildings and grounds placed under
the jurisdiction of the Architect of the Capitol by Congress in
subsequent years.
The Architect of the Capitol, acting as an agent of Congress, is in
charge of the structural and mechanical care of the United States
Capitol Building and making arrangements with the proper authorities
for ceremonies held in the building and on the grounds; is responsible
for the care, maintenance, and improvement of the Capitol Grounds,
comprising approximately 221 acres of landscaping, parks, streets, and
parking; is responsible for the structural and mechanical care of the
Library of Congress Buildings and the United States Supreme Court
Building; and under the direction of the Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration and the Committee on House Administration,
respectively, is charged with the operation of the United States
Senate and House restaurants.
In addition to these activities, the Architect has the following
duties and responsibilities:
under the direction and approval of the House Office Building
Commission, the structural, mechanical, and domestic care and
maintenance of the House Office Buildings, including the maintenance
and operation of the mechanical, electrical, and electronic equipment
and the care, maintenance, and operation of the Capitol Power Plant,
which supplies heat and air-conditioning refrigeration for the
Capitol, Senate and House Office Buildings, Library of Congress
Buildings, and the United States Supreme Court Building; heat for the
United States Botanic Garden and the Senate and House garages; steam
heat for the Government Printing Office, Washington City Post Office,
and Union Station; and steam heat and chilled water for the Folger
Shakespeare Library;
subject to the approval of the Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration as to matters of general policy, the structural,
mechanical, and domestic care and maintenance of the Senate Office
Buildings, including the maintenance and operation of the mechanical,
electrical, and electronic equipment;
the jurisdiction and control, including care and maintenance of the
Senate garage, subject to such regulations respecting the use thereof
as may be promulgated by the Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration; and
under the direction of the Joint Committee on the Library, serving as
Acting Director of the United States Botanic Garden.
The Architect of the Capitol also is charged with the planning and
construction of such buildings as may be committed to his care by
Congress from time to time. Current projects include extension,
reconstruction, alteration, and improvement of the United States
Capitol; procurement and installation of permanent television
broadcasting facilities for the Senate Chamber; procurement and
installation of hydraulic security barriers and bollards at the
vehicular entrances to the Capitol square; development of design and
cost estimates associated with the construction aspects of the
congressional joint leadership proposal to improve security of the
Capitol and House and Senate Office Buildings; interior restoration
and renovation of the Thomas Jefferson and John Adams Buildings of the
Library of Congress; and direction of the Master Plan for Future
Development of the U.S. Capitol Grounds and related areas.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Judiciary Office Building
Development Act (40 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.), the Architect, under the
direction of the Commission for the Judiciary Office Building, is
responsible for supervising the design, development, and maintenance
of a building east of Union Station to meet the current and future
needs of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the Federal
Judicial Center, and other judicial functions and to accommodate such
other governmental activities as may be appropriate.
The Architect of the Capitol serves as a member of the District of
Columbia Zoning Commission, the Capitol Police Board, the Capitol
Guide Board, the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Avenue
Development Corporation, the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, the Art Advisory Committee to the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, the House of Representatives Page
Board, the National Capital Memorial Advisory Committee to the
Secretary of the Interior, the International Centre Committee (Rome
Centre), the National Conservation Advisory Council, and as the Civil
Defense Coordinator for the Capitol buildings.

The United States Botanic Garden collects, cultivates, and grows
various vegetable productions of this and other countries for
exhibition and display to the public and for study material for
students, scientists, and garden clubs.
The Botanic Garden contains a large variety of palms, cycads, ferns,
cacti, orchids, and other miscellaneous tropical and subtropical
plants, many of which are rare species. There are special displays
during most of the months of the year, and in their proper seasons
banana, papaya, orange, lemon, tangerine, kumquat, averrhoa, coffee,
and surinam cherry are to be seen in luxuriant fruiting. The entire
collection of the Garden includes over 10,000 species and varieties of
plant growth. The collection attracts many visitors annually,
including botanists, horticulturists, students, and garden club
members.
The Garden, though not operated as a scientific institution, offers
educational facilities in that it makes available for study to
students, botanists, and floriculturists many rare and interesting
botanical specimens. Every year botanical specimens are received from
all over the world with requests for identification, and one of the
services rendered by the Garden to the public is the identification of
such specimens and the furnishing of information relating to the
proper methods of growing them.
The United States Botanic Garden was founded in 1820 under the
auspices of the Columbia Institute for the Promotion of Arts and
Sciences, an organization that was the outgrowth of an association
known as the Metropolitan Society and that received its charter from
Congress on April 20, 1818. The Garden continued under the direction
of this Institute until 1837, when the Institute ceased to exist as an
active organization.
It remained abandoned until 1842, when it became necessary for the
Government to provide accommodations for the botanical collections
brought to Washington, DC, from the South Seas by the United States
Exploring Expedition of 1838 42, under the leadership of Capt. Charles
Wilkes. The collections were placed temporarily on exhibition at the
Patent Office upon return of the expedition in June 1842. The first
greenhouse for this purpose was constructed in 1842 on a lot behind
the Patent Office Building under the direction and control of the
Joint Committee of Congress on the Library, from funds appropriated by
Congress.
The act of May 15, 1850 (9 Stat. 427), provided for the relocation of
the Botanic Garden under the direction of the Joint Committee on the
Library. The site selected was on the Mall at the west end of the
Capitol Grounds, practically the same site the Botanic Garden occupied
during the period it functioned under the Columbia Institute. This
site was later enlarged, and the main area continued to serve as the
principal Botanic Garden site from 1850 to 1933, when the Garden was
relocated to its present site.
Although the Botanic Garden began functioning as a Government-owned
institution in 1842, the records indicate that it was not until 1856
that the maintenance of the Garden was specifically placed under the
direction of the Joint Committee on the Library and a regular, annual
appropriation was provided by Congress (11 Stat. 104).
At the present time the Joint Committee exercises its supervision
through the Architect of the Capitol, who has been serving as Acting
Director since 1934.
The Botanic Garden is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily,
June through August, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the rest of the year.

The General Accounting Office is the investigative arm of Congress and
is charged with examining all matters relating to the receipt and
disbursement of public funds.
The General Accounting Office (GAO) was established by the Budget and
Accounting Act of 1921 (31 U.S.C. 702), to independently audit
Government agencies. Over the years, the Congress has expanded GAO's
audit authority, added new responsibilities and duties, and
strengthened GAO's ability to perform independently.
The General Accounting Office is under the control and direction of
the Comptroller General of the United States, who is appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate for a term of 15
years.
Activities
Audits and Evaluations Supporting the Congress is GAO's fundamental
responsibility. In meeting this objective, GAO performs a variety of
services, the most prominent of which are audits and evaluations of
Government programs and activities. The majority of these reviews are
made in response to specific congressional requests. The Office is
required to do work requested by committee chairmen and, as a matter
of policy, assigns equal status to requests from ranking minority
Members. To the extent possible, GAO also responds to individual
Member requests. Other assignments are initiated pursuant to standing
commitments to congressional committees, and some reviews are
specifically required by law. Finally, some assignments are
independently undertaken in accordance with GAO's basic legislative
responsibilities.
The ability to review practically any Government function requires a
multidisciplined staff able to conduct assignments wherever needed.
GAO's staff has expertise in a variety of disciplines accounting, law,
public and business administration, economics, the social and physical
sciences, and others.
The Office is organized so that staff members concentrate on specific
subject areas, enabling them to develop a detailed level of knowledge.
When an assignment requires specialized experience not available
within GAO, outside experts are called in to assist the permanent
staff. GAO's staff goes wherever necessary on assignments, working
onsite to gather data, test transactions, and observe firsthand how
Government programs and activities are carried out.
Questions GAO considers include:
Are Government programs being operated in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations, and is data furnished to the Congress on these
programs accurate?
Do opportunities exist to eliminate waste and inefficient use of
public funds?
Are funds being spent legally and is accounting for them accurate?
Are programs achieving desired results, or are changes needed in
Government policies or management?
Are there better ways of accomplishing each program's objectives at
lower costs?
What emerging or key issues should the Congress consider?
Accounting and Financial Management Policy The Office helps ensure
that the Congress has available for its use current, accurate, and
complete financial management data. To do this, GAO:
prescribes accounting principles and standards for the executive
branch;
advises other Federal agencies on fiscal and related policies and
procedures; and
prescribes standards for auditing and evaluating Government
programs.
In addition, the Comptroller General, the Secretary of the Treasury,
and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget develop
standardized information and data processing systems. This includes
standard terminology, definitions, classifications, and codes for
fiscal, budgetary, and program-related data and information.
Legal Services The Office provides various legal services to the
Congress. In response to inquiries from committees and Members, the
Comptroller General provides advice on legal issues involving
Government programs and activities. GAO is also available to assist in
drafting legislation and reviewing legislative proposals before the
Congress. In addition, GAO reviews and reports to the Congress on
proposed rescissions and deferrals of Government funds.
Other legal services include resolving bid protests that challenge
Government contract awards, assisting Government agencies in
interpreting the laws governing the expenditure of public funds, and
adjudicating claims for and against the Government.
In addition, GAO has a staff of trained investigators who conduct
special investigations and assist auditors and evaluators when they
encounter possible criminal and civil misconduct. When warranted, GAO
refers the results of its investigations to the Department of Justice
and other law enforcement authorities.
Reporting Authorities The Office offers a range of products to
communicate the results of its work. The type of product depends on
the assignment's objectives and the needs of the intended user.
Product types include testimony, oral briefings, and written reports.
All of GAO's unclassified reports are available to the public;
however, GAO will honor a requester's desire to postpone release of a
report for up to 30 days. The report will be made public automatically
following the requester's release or public disclosure of the report's
contents.
A list of GAO reports issued or released during the previous month is
furnished monthly to Congress, committees, and Members. Copies of GAO
reports are furnished to interested congressional parties; Federal,
State, local, and foreign governments; members of the press; college
faculty, students, and libraries; and nonprofit organizations.
Copies of unclassified reports are available from the U.S. General
Accounting Office, P.O. Box 6015, Gaithersburg, MD 20877. Phone, 202
275 6241. The first five copies of each report are free; additional
copies are $2 each. There is a 25-percent discount on orders of 100 or
more copies mailed to a single address. Orders must be prepaid by cash
or by check or money order made out to the Superintendent of
Documents.

The Government Printing Office prints, binds, and distributes the
publications of the Congress as well as the executive departments and
establishments of the Federal Government.
The Government Printing Office (GPO) began operations in accordance
with Congressional Joint Resolution 25 of June 23, 1860. The
activities of the Government Printing Office are outlined and defined
in the act of October 22, 1968, as amended (44 U.S.C. 101 et seq.).
The congressional Joint Committee on Printing serves in an oversight
capacity for the Government Printing Office. The Public Printer, who
serves as the head of the agency, is required by law to be a practical
printer versed in the art of bookbinding and is appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Activities
The Government Printing Office executes orders for printing and
binding placed by Congress and the departments and establishments of
the Federal Government. It furnishes blank paper, inks, and similar
supplies to all governmental activities on order. It prepares catalogs
and distributes and sells Government publications.
The Office invites bids from commercial suppliers on a wide variety of
printing and binding services, awards and administers contracts, and
maintains liaison between ordering agencies and contractors.
Printing and binding processes used are electronic photocomposition;
linotype and hand composition; letterpress printing and photopolymer
platemaking; offset photography, stripping, platemaking, and press;
and manual and machine bookbinding.
The Office sells through mail orders and Government bookstores
approximately 20,000 different publications that originate in various
Government agencies, and administers the depository library program
through which selected Government publications are made available in
libraries throughout the country.

The Library of Congress is the national library of the United States,
offering diverse materials for research including the world's most
extensive collections in many areas such as American history, music,
and law.
The Library of Congress was established under the law approved April
24, 1800 (2 Stat. 56), appropriating $5,000 ``for the purchase of such
books as may be necessary for the use of Congress....'' The Library's
scope of responsibility has been widened by subsequent legislation (2
U.S.C. 131 168d). The Librarian, appointed by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate, directs the Library.
Supported mainly by the appropriations of Congress, the Library also
has the use of the income from funds received from foundations and
other private sources and administered by the Library of Congress
Trust Fund Board; it has the use also of gifts of money presented for
direct application (2 U.S.C. 154 163).
Under the organic law, the Library's first responsibility is service
to Congress. As the Library has developed, its range of service has
come to include the entire governmental establishment in all its
branches and the public at large, so that it has become a national
library for the United States.
Activities
Collections The Library's extensive collections are universal in
scope. They include books and pamphlets on every subject and in a
multitude of languages. Among them are the most comprehensive
collections of Chinese, Japanese, and Russian language books outside
Asia and the Soviet Union; volumes relating to science and legal
materials outstanding for American and foreign law; the world's
largest collection of published aeronautical literature; and the most
extensive collection in the Western Hemisphere of books printed before
1501 A.D.
The manuscript collections relate to manifold aspects of American
history and civilization and include the personal papers of most of
the Presidents from George Washington through Calvin Coolidge. The
music collections contain volumes and pieces manuscript and published
from classic works to the newest popular compositions. Other materials
available for research include maps and views; photographic records
from the daguerreotype to the latest news photo; recordings, including
folksongs and other music, speeches, and poetry readings; prints,
drawings, and posters; government documents, newspapers, and
periodicals from all over the world; and motion pictures, microforms,
and audio and video tapes.
Reference Resources Admission to the various research facilities of
the Library is free. No introduction or credentials are required for
persons over high school age. Readers must submit appropriate personal
identification and, certain collections, like those of the Manuscript,
Rare Book and Special Collections, and Motion Picture, Broadcasting
and Recorded Sound Divisions, can be used only by those with a serious
purpose for doing so. As demands for service to Congress and Federal
Government agencies permit, limited reference service is available
through correspondence. The Library must, however, decline some
requests with the suggestion that a library within the correspondent's
area can provide satisfactory assistance. While priority is given to
inquiries pertaining to its holdings of special materials or to
subjects in which its resources are unique, the Library does attempt
to provide helpful responses to all inquirers.
Copyrights Since 1870 the Library has been responsible for copyrights,
which are now registered by the Copyright Office (acts of July 8, 1870
(16 Stat. 212 217), February 19, 1897 (29 Stat. 545), March 4, 1909,
as codified and amended, and October 19, 1976 (90 Stat. 2541)). All
copyrightable works, whether published or unpublished, are subject to
a system of statutory protection that gives the copyright owner
certain exclusive rights, including the right to reproduce the
copyrighted work and distribute it to the public by sale, rental,
lease, or lending. Works of authorship include books, periodicals, and
other literary works, musical compositions, song lyrics, dramas and
dramatico-musical compositions, pictorial, graphic, and sculptural
works, pantomimes and choreographic works, motion pictures and other
audiovisual works, and sound recordings.
Extension of Service The Library extends its service through:
an interlibrary loan system;
the photoduplication, at reasonable cost, of books, manuscripts,
maps, newspapers, and prints in its collections;
the sale of sound recordings, which are released by its Recording
Laboratory;
the exchange of duplicates with other institutions;
the sale of printed catalog cards and magnetic tapes and the
publication in book format or microform of cumulative catalogs, which
make available the results of the expert bibliographical and
cataloging work of its technical personnel;
a centralized cataloging program whereby the Library of Congress
acquires material published all over the world, catalogs it promptly,
and distributes cataloging information in machine-readable form as
well as by printed cards and other means to the Nation's libraries;
a cooperative cataloging program whereby the cataloging of data, by
name authority and bibliographic records, prepared by other libraries
becomes part of the Library of Congress data base and is distributed
through the MARC Distribution Service;
a cataloging-in-publication program in cooperation with American
publishers for printing cataloging information in current books;
the National Serials Data Program, a national center that maintains a
record of serial titles to which International Standard Serial Numbers
have been assigned and serves, with this file, as the United States
Register; and
the development of general schemes of classification (Library of
Congress and Dewey Decimal), subject headings, and cataloging,
embracing the entire field of printed matter.
Furthermore, the Library provides for:
the preparation of bibliographical lists responsive to the needs of
Government and research;
the maintenance and the publication of The National Union Catalogs
and other cooperative publications;
the publication of catalogs, bibliographical guides, and lists, and
of texts of original manuscripts and rare books in the Library of
Congress;
the circulation in traveling exhibits of items from the Library's
collections; and
the provision of books in raised type and ``talking book'' records,
as well as books on tape, for the blind and the physically handicapped
through 150 cooperating libraries throughout the United States.
Congressional Research Service The Congressional Research Service
(CRS) serves the public through its elected representatives in the
Congress. The Service provides objective, nonpartisan research,
analysis, and informational support of the highest quality to assist
Congress' legislative, oversight, and representative functions. It
also helps to ensure an informed national legislature.
CRS evolved from the Legislative Reference Bureau, whose statutory
authority dates back to the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, as
amended (2 U.S.C. 72a note, 166), authorizing increased emphasis on
in-depth research and analysis. Its mandate has grown over the years
in response to the increasing scope and complexity of public policy
issues to encompass nonpartisan technical, reference, and research
assistance to Congress. The Service's staff anticipates and responds
to congressional technical informational and policy analysis needs in
an interdisciplinary, integrated manner.
CRS is organized to respond in a timely and objective manner to
congressional inquiries for information and analysis at every stage of
the legislative process and in subject areas relevant to policy issues
before Congress. The CRS director, assisted by a deputy director and a
management team, oversees and coordinates the work of seven research
divisions, which span an encyclopedic range of subjects and
disciplines. These research divisions contain scholars and experts in
the following subject areas: American law, economics, education and
public welfare, environment and natural resources policy, foreig
n affairs and national defense, government, and science p
olicy. CRS also contains two reference divisions: Congressional
Reference Division and Library Services Division. These divisions
provide reference, bibliographic, and other informational services,
employing sophisticated computerized systems to identify and locate
appropriate material for requestors. CRS also creates and maintains a
number of specialized reading lists for Members of Congress and their
staffs, and disseminates other materials found to be of interest.
The Service also maintains those parts of the Library of Congress'
automated information system that cover legislative matters, including
digests of all public bills and briefing papers on major legislative
issues. Other CRS offices include Special Programs, Operations,
Policy, Research Coordination, and the Director's office.
In addition to responding to individual requests for information and
analysis, CRS anticipates congressional needs, and develops and
presents timely seminars that provide a forum for discussion among
Members of Congress and their staffs, CRS specialists, and nationally
recognized experts on important legislative issues. Audio and visual
materials on a variety of topics of congressional interest are also
produced and aired on the congressional cable television system. A
language service section provides a variety of services including
translations, interpreting, and research.

American Folklife Center The Center, which was established in the
Library of Congress by act of January 2, 1976 (20 U.S.C. 2102 et
seq.), has a coordinative function both in and outside the Federal
Establishment to carry out appropriate programs to support, preserve,
and present American folklife through such activities as receiving and
maintaining folklife collections, scholarly research, field projects,
performances, exhibitions, festivals, workshops, publications, and
audiovisual presentations. The Center is directed by a Board of
Trustees consisting of four members appointed by the President from
Federal agencies, four each appointed by the President pro tempore of
the Senate and the Speaker of the House from private life, and five ex
officio members: the Librarian of Congress, the Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, the Chairmen of the National Endowment for
the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the
Director of the Center.
The Center has conducted projects in many locations across the
country, such as the ethnic communities of Chicago, IL; southern
Georgia; a ranching community in northern Nevada; the Blue Ridge
Parkway in southern Virginia and northern North Carolina; and the
States of New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Montana. The projects have
provided large collections of recordings and photographs, which are
being incorporated into the Library's collections. The Center
administers the Federal Cylinder Project, which is charged with
preserving and disseminating music and oral traditions recorded on wax
cylinders dating from the late 1800's to the early 1940's. A cultural
conservation study was developed at the Center, in cooperation with
the Department of the Interior, pursuant to a congressional mandate.
Various conferences, workshops, and symposia are given throughout the
year. A series of outdoor concerts of traditional music are scheduled
monthly at the Library, April through September.
The Folklife Center News, a quarterly newsletter, and other
informational publications are available upon request. The Government
Printing Office sells additional Center publications, including the
Folklife Annual and catalogs produced by the Federal Cylinder
Project.
The American Folklife Center maintains and administers the Archive
of Folk Culture, an extensive collection of folk music and lore in
published and unpublished forms. It is a national repository for
folk-related recordings, manuscripts, and other materials. The
Center's reading room contains over 3,500 books and periodicals; a
sizable collection of magazines, newsletters, unpublished theses, and
dissertations; field notes; and many textual and some musical
transcriptions and recordings.
For further information, call 202 707 6590.
Center for the Book The Center was established in the Library of
Congress by act of October 17, 1977 (2 U.S.C. 171 et seq.), to
stimulate public interest in books, reading, and libraries, and to
encourage the study of books and print culture. The Center is a
catalyst for promoting and exploring the vital role of books, reading,
and libraries nationally and internationally. As a partnership between
the Government and the private sector, the Center for the Book depends
on tax-deductible contributions from individuals and corporations to
support its programs.
The Center's activities are directed toward the general public and
scholars. The overall program includes reading and promotion projects
with four television networks, symposia, lectures, exhibitions,
special events, and publications. First Lady Barbara Bush was Honorary
Chair of the Center's ``1991 The Year of the Lifetime Reader''
campaign.
Since 1984, 24 States have established statewide book centers that are
affiliated with the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.
State centers plan and fund their own projects, involving members of
the State's ``community of the book,'' including authors, readers,
prominent citizens, and public officials who serve as honorary
advisors.

The Office of Technology Assessment reports to the Congress on the
scientific and technical impact of government policies and proposed
legislative initiatives.
The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was created by the
Technology Assessment Act of 1972 (2 U.S.C. 472) to serve the United
States Congress by providing objective analyses of major public policy
issues related to scientific and technological change. The Office
began operations in January 1974.
The bipartisan 13-member Board includes 6 Senators appointed by the
President pro tempore, 6 Members of the House of Representatives
appointed by the Speaker, and the Director of OTA, who is a nonvoting
member.
The Technology Assessment Advisory Council comprises 10 public members
eminent in science and technology. The Council is appointed by the
Board and advises the Board and OTA on assessments and other matters.
The Office's assessments explore complex issues involving science and
technology, helping Congress resolve uncertainties and conflicting
claims, identifying alternative policy options, and providing
foresight or early alert to new developments that could have important
implications for future Federal policy. Requests for assessments may
be made by the chairman of any congressional committee acting for
himself or on behalf of a ranking minority member, or a majority of
committee members; by the OTA Board; or by the OTA Director, in
consultation with the Board.
The Office's work centers on comprehensive assessments that may take 1
to 2 years to complete. It also draws upon its past and current work
to provide a variety of responses to meet immediate congressional
needs, such as briefings, testimony, and special reports.
Office assessment teams work closely with congressional staff and
support agencies to ensure that major committee concerns are addressed
and to stay in touch with the published work and current activities of
analysts and researchers in the Executive branch and throughout the
public and private interest sectors. Each project is guided by an
advisory panel of experts on a particular subject as a way of ensuring
that reports are objective, fair, and authoritative.
After approval for release by the Board, OTA assessment reports are
distributed to the requesting committees, with summaries provided to
all Members of Congress. The reports are available to the public
through the Government Printing Office.

The Congressional Budget Office provides the Congress with assessments
of the economic impact of the Federal budget.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was established by the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 601), which also created a
procedure by which the United States Congress considers and acts upon
the annual Federal budget. This process enables the Congress to have
an overview of the Federal budget and to make overall decisions
regarding spending and taxing levels and the deficit or surplus these
levels incur.
The Congressional Budget Office provides Congress with basic budget
data and with analyses of alternative fiscal, budgetary, and
programmatic policy issues.
Activities
Economic Forecasting and Fiscal Policy Analysis The Federal budget
affects and is affected by the national economy. The Congressional
Budget Office provides Congress with biannual forecasts of the economy
and analyses of economic trends and alternative fiscal policies.
Scorekeeping Under the budget process the Congress establishes, by
concurrent resolution, targets (or ceilings) for overall expenditures,
budget authority and budget outlays, and for broad functional
categories. The Congress also establishes targets (or ceilings) for
the levels of revenues, the deficit, and the public debt. CBO ``keeps
score'' for the Congress by monitoring the results of congressional
action on individual authorization, appropriation, and revenue bills
against the targets (or ceilings) specified in the concurrent
resolution.
Cost Projections The Congressional Budget Office prepares 5-year cost
estimates for carrying out any public bill or resolution reported by
congressional committees. As soon as practicable after the beginning
of each fiscal year, CBO also provides 5-year projections on the costs
of continuing current Federal spending and taxation policies.
Annual Report on the Budget The Congressional Budget Office is
responsible for furnishing the House and Senate Budget Committees by
February 15 of each year with a report that includes a discussion of
alternative spending and revenue levels and alternative allocations
among major programs and functional categories, all in the light of
major national needs and the effect on the balanced growth and
development of the United States.
Special Studies The Congressional Budget Office undertakes studies
requested by the Congress on budget-related areas. As required by the
establishing act, such service is provided in the following order of
priority to: the House and Senate Budget Committees, the House and
Senate Appropriations Committees, the Senate Finance and the House
Ways and Means Committees, and all other congressional committees.
Sequestration Report This advisory report is mandated by the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended (2 U.S.C.
901). The report estimates whether proposed spending levels breach
categorical spending limits or cause a deficit in excess of the target
and, if so, it estimates the amount and percentage of budget resources
that should be sequestered to eliminate any excesses.
Pay-As-You-Go The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of
1985, as amended (2 U.S.C. 901), requires CBO to provide the Office of
Management and Budget with an estimate of the amount of change in
outlays or receipts for each fiscal year through 1995 for any direct
spending or receipts legislation as soon as practicable after Congress
completes action on that legislation.

The Copyright Royalty Tribunal adjusts copyright royalty rates and
distributes copyright royalties for certain uses of copyrighted
works.
The Copyright Royalty Tribunal was established by the act of October
19, 1976 (17 U.S.C. 801). The Tribunal is composed of three
Commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent
of the Senate.
The Tribunal adjusts copyright royalty rates for cable retransmission
of broadcast signals, for recording new versions of previously
recorded songs, and for noncommercial educational stations that
broadcast musical, pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works.
The Tribunal also has stand-by authority to adjust the rates for
jukeboxes and satellite retransmission of broadcast signals to
satellite home dish owners if the parties are unable to reach
voluntary agreements among themselves. In addition, the Tribunal
distributes the royalty fees deposited with the Copyright Office by
cable operators and satellite carriers to the proper copyright owners.
In making its distribution determinations, the Tribunal considers
primarily the harm incurred by the copyright owners, the benefit to
the user, and the marketplace value of the work.

Article III, section 1, of the Constitution of the United States
provides that ``[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be
vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the
Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.'' The Supreme
Court of the United States was created in accordance with this
provision and by authority of the Judiciary Act of September 24, 1789
(1 Stat. 73). It was organized on February 2, 1790.
The Supreme Court comprises the Chief Justice of the United States and
such number of Associate Justices as may be fixed by Congress. Under
that authority, and by virtue of act of June 25, 1948 (28 U.S.C. 1),
the number of Associate Justices is eight. Power to nominate the
Justices is vested in the President of the United States, and
appointments are made with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Article III, section 1, of the Constitution further provides that
``[t]he Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold
their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times,
receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be
diminished during their Continuance in Office.'' A Justice may, if so
desired, retire at the age of 70 after serving for 10 years as a
Federal judge or at age 65 after 15 years of service.
The Clerk, the Reporter of Decisions, the Librarian, and the Marshal
are appointed by the Court to assist in the performance of its
functions. Other Court officers, including the Administrative
Assistant, the Court Counsel, the Curator, the Director of Data
Systems, and the Public Information Officer, are appointed by the
Chief Justice to assist him with the administrative aspects of his
position.
The library is open to members of the bar of the Court, attorneys for
the various Federal departments and agencies, and Members of Congress.
Only members of the bar of the Court may practice before the Supreme
Court.
The term of the Court begins, by law, the first Monday in October of
each year and continues as long as the business before the Court
requires, usually until about the end of June. Six members constitute
a quorum. Approximately 5,000 cases are passed upon in the course of a
term. In addition, some 1,200 applications of various kinds are filed
each year that can be acted upon by a single Justice.
Jurisdiction According to the Constitution (art. III, sec. 2), ``[t]he
judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising
under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties
made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; to all Cases
affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; to all
Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to Controversies to
which the United States shall be a Party; to Controversies between two
or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between
Citizens of different States; between Citizens of the same State
claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State,
or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
``In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and
Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court
shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before
mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both
as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations
as the Congress shall make.''
Appellate jurisdiction has been conferred upon the Supreme Court by
various statutes, under the authority given Congress by the
Constitution. The basic statute effective at this time in conferring
and controlling jurisdiction of the Supreme Court may be found in 28
U.S.C. 1251, 1253, 1254, 1257 1259, and various special statutes.
Congress has no authority to change the original jurisdiction of this
Court.
Rulemaking Power Congress has from time to time conferred upon the
Supreme Court power to prescribe rules of procedure to be followed by
the lower courts of the United States. Pursuant to these statutes
there are now in force rules promulgated by the Court to govern civil
and criminal cases in the district courts, bankruptcy proceedings,
admiralty cases, appellate proceedings, and the trial of misdemeanors
before U.S. magistrates.

Lower Courts
Article III of the Constitution declares, in section 1, that the
judicial power of the United States shall be invested in one Supreme
Court and in ``such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to
time ordain and establish.'' The Supreme Court has held that these
constitutional courts `` . . . share in the exercise of the judicial
power defined in that section, can be invested with no other
jurisdiction, and have judges who hold office during good behavior,
with no power in Congress to provide otherwise.''
United States Courts of Appeals The courts of appeals are intermediate
appellate courts created by act of March 3, 1891 (28 U.S.C. ch. 3), to
relieve the Supreme Court of considering all appeals in cases
originally decided by the Federal trial courts. They are empowered to
review all final decisions and certain interlocutory decisions (18
U.S.C. 3731,3734; 28 U.S.C. 1291, 1292) of district courts. They also
are empowered to review and enforce orders of many Federal
administrative bodies. The decisions of the courts of appeals are
final except as they are subject to discretionary review or appeal in
the Supreme Court.
The United States is divided geographically into 12 judicial circuits,
including the District of Columbia. Each circuit has a court of
appeals (28 U.S.C. 41, 1294). Each of the 50 States is assigned to one
of the circuits, and the Territories are assigned variously to the
first, third, and ninth circuits. There is also a Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit, which has nationwide jurisdiction defined by
subject matter. At present each court of appeals has from 6 to 28
permanent circuit judgeships (179 in all), depending upon the amount
of judicial work in the circuit. Circuit judges hold their offices
during good behavior as provided by Article III, section 1, of the
Constitution. The judge senior in commission who is under 65 years of
age, has been in office at least 1 year, and has not previously been
chief judge serves as the chief judge of the circuit for a 7-year
term. One of the justices of the Supreme Court is assigned as circuit
justice for each of the 13 judicial circuits. Each court of appeals
normally hears cases in panels consisting of three judges but may sit
en banc with all judges present.
The judges of each circuit by vote determine the size of the judi
cial council for the circuit, which consists of the chief judge and an
equal number of circuit and district judges. The council considers the
state of Federal judicial business in the circuit and may ``make all
necessary and appropriate orders for [its] effective and expeditious
administration . . .'' (28 U.S.C. 332). The chief judge of each
circuit summons annually a judicial conference of all circuit and
district judges in the circuit, and sometimes members of the bar, to
discuss the business of the Federal courts of the circuit (28 U.S.C.
333). The chief judge of each circuit and a district judge elected
from each of the 12 geographical circuits, together with the chief
judge of the Court of International Trade, serve as members of the
Judicial Conference of the United States, of which the Chief Justice
of the United States is chairman. This is the governing body for the
administration of the Federal judicial system as a whole (28 U.S.C. 331).

Lower Courts
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit This court was
established under Article III of the Constitution pursuant to the
Federal Courts Improvement Act of 1982 (28 U.S.C. 41) as the successor
to the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals and the Court
of Claims. The jurisdiction of the court is nationwide (as provided by
28 U.S.C. 1295) and includes appeals from the district courts in
patent cases; appeals from the district courts in contract, and
certain other civil actions in which the United States is a defendant;
and appeals from final decisions of the U.S. Claims Court and the U.S.
Court of International Trade. The jurisdiction of the court also
includes the review of administrative rulings by the Patent and
Trademark Office, U.S. International Trade Commission, Secretary of
Commerce, agency boards of contract appeals, and the Merit Systems
Protection Board.
The court consists of 12 circuit judges. It sits in panels of three or
more on each case and may also hear or rehear a case en banc. The
court sits principally in Washington, DC, and may hold court wherever
a court of appeals sits (28 U.S.C. 48). Like the other courts of
appeals, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has a
clerk, staff attorneys, technical assistants, librarian, and
supporting staff.

Lower Courts
United States District Courts The district courts are the trial courts
of general Federal jurisdiction. Each State has at least one district
court, while some of the larger States have as many as four.
Altogether there are 89 district courts in the 50 States, plus the one
in the District of Columbia. In addition, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico has a district court with jurisdiction corresponding to that of
district courts in the various States.
At present, each district court has from 2 to 27 Federal district
judgeships, depending upon the amount of judicial work within its
territory. Only one judge is usually required to hear and decide a
case in a district court, but in some limited cases it is required
that three judges be called together to comprise the court (28 U.S.C.
2284). The judge senior in commission who is under 65 years of age,
has been in office for at least 1 year, and has not previously been
chief judge serves as chief judge for a 7-year term. There are
altogether 610 permanent district judgeships in the 50 States and 15
in the District of Columbia. There are 7 district judgeships in Puerto
Rico. District judges hold their offices during good behavior as
provided by Article III, section 1, of the Constitution. However,
Congress may create temporary judgeships for a court with the
provision that when a vacancy occurs in that district, such vacancy
shall not be filled. Each district court has a clerk, a United States
attorney, a United States marshal, one or more United States
magistrates and bankruptcy judges, probation officers, court
reporters, and their staffs. The jurisdiction of the district courts
is set forth in title 28, chapter 85, of the United States Code and at
18 U.S.C. 3231.
Cases from the district courts are reviewable on appeal by the
applicable court of appeals.
Territorial Courts Pursuant to its authority to govern the Territories
(art. IV, sec. 3, clause 2, of the Constitution), Congress has
established district courts in the territories of Guam and the Virgin
Islands. The District Court of the Canal Zone was abolished on April
1, 1982, pursuant to the Panama Canal Act of 1979 (22 U.S.C. 3601
note). Congress has also established a district court in the Northern
Mariana Islands, which presently are administered by the United States
under a trusteeship agreement with the United Nations. These
Territorial courts have jurisdiction not only over the subjects
described in the judicial article of the Constitution but also of many
local matters that, within the States, are decided in State courts.
The district court of Puerto Rico, by contrast, is established under
Article III, is classified like other ``district courts,'' and is
called a ``court of the United States'' (28 U.S.C. 451). There is one
judge each in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, and two in the
Virgin Islands. The judges in these courts are appointed for terms of
10 years.
For further information concerning the lower courts, contact the
Administrative Office of the United States Courts, Washington, DC
20544.
Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation The Panel, created by act
of April 29, 1968 (28 U.S.C. 1407), and consisting of seven Federal
judges designated by the Chief Justice from the courts of appeals and
district courts, is authorized to temporarily transfer to a single
district, for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings, civil
actions pending in different districts that involve one or more common
questions of fact.

Special Courts
The Supreme Court has held that ``. . . Article III [of the
Constitution] does not express the full authority of Congress to
create courts, and that other Articles invest Congress with powers in
the exertion of which it may create inferior courts and clothe them
with functions deemed essential or helpful in carrying those powers
into execution.'' Such courts, known as legislative courts, have
functions which ``. . . are directed to the execution of one or more
of such powers and are prescribed by Congress independently of section
2 of Article III; and their judges hold office for such term as
Congress prescribes, whether it be a fixed period of years or during
good behavior.'' Appeals from the decisions of these courts, with the
exception of the U.S. Tax Court and the U.S. Court of Military
Appeals, may be taken to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit. Appeals from the decisions of the Tax Court may be taken to
the court of appeals in which judicial circuit the case was initially
heard. Certain decisions of the U.S. Court of Military Appeals are
reviewable by writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court.
United States Claims Court The Court was established on October 1,
1982, as an Article I court (28 U.S.C. 171, Article I, U.S.
Constitution). The Claims Court succeeds to the original jurisdiction
of the Court of Claims, as provided for in 28 U.S.C. 1491 et seq. The
Court is composed of a chief judge, designated by the President, and
15 associate judges. All judges are appointed for 15-year terms by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The court has jurisdiction over claims to render money judgments agai
nst the United States. A claim must be founded either upon: the United
States Constitution; an act of Congress; the regulation of an
executive department; an express or implied-in-fact contract with the
United States; or damages, liquidated or unliquidated, in cases not
sounding in tort.
If a bidder files a claim with the Court before the award of a
Government contract, it has jurisdiction to grant declaratory
judgments and equitable relief. Under the Contract Disputes Act (41
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Court may render judgments upon a claim by or
against, or any dispute between a contractor and the United States
Government arising under the act.
The Congress, from time to time, also grants the Court jurisdiction
over specific types of claims against the United States. The National
Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, established by 42 U.S.C. 300aa 10
(the Vaccine Act), is an example of such special jurisdiction.
The Court also furnishes reports to Congress on bills referred by
either the House of Representatives or the Senate.
Judgments of the Court are final and conclusive on both the claimant
and the United States. All judgments are subject to appeal to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Collateral to
any judgment, the Court may issue orders directing the restoration to
office or status of any claimant or the correction of applicable
records.
The Court's jurisdiction is nationwide. Trials are conducted before
individual judges at locations most convenient for the claimants and
their witnesses.

United States Court of International Trade This court was originally
established as the Board of United States General Appraisers by act of
June 10, 1890, which conferred upon it jurisdiction theretofore held
by the district and circuit courts in actions arising under the tariff
acts (19 U.S.C. ch. 4). The act of May 28, 1926 (19 U.S.C. 405a),
created the United States Customs Court to supersede the Board; by
acts of August 7, 1939, and June 25, 1948 (28 U.S.C. 1582, 1583), the
court was integrated into the United States court structure,
organization, and procedure. The act of July 14, 1956 (28 U.S.C. 251),
established the court as a court of record of the United States under
Article III of the Constitution.
The Customs Courts Act of 1980 (28 U.S.C. 251) constituted the court
as the United States Court of International Trade and revised
provisions relating to its jurisdiction. The Court of International
Trade has all the powers in law and equity of a district court.
The Court of International Trade has jurisdiction over any civil
action against the United States arising from Federal laws governing
import transactions. This includes classification and valuation cases,
as well as authority to review certain agency determinations under the
Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C. 2501) involving antidumping
and countervailing duty matters. In addition, it has exclusive
jurisdiction of civil actions to review determinations as to the
eligibility of workers, firms, and communities for adjustment
assistance under the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2101). Civil actions
commenced by the United States to recover customs duties, to recover
on a customs bond, or for certain civil penalties alleging fraud or
negligence are also within the exclusive jurisdiction of the court.
The court is composed of a chief judge and eight judges, not more than
five of whom may belong to any one political party. Any of its judges
may be temporarily designated and assigned by the Chief Justice of the
United States to sit as a court of appeals or district court judge in
any circuit or district. The court has a clerk and deputy clerks, a
librarian, court reporters, and other supporting personnel. Cases
before the court may be tried before a jury. Under the Federal Courts
Improvement Act of 1982 (28 U.S.C. 1295), appeals are taken to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and ultimately review
may be sought in appropriate cases in the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The principal offices are located in New York, NY, but the court is
empowered to hear and determine cases arising at any port or place
within the jurisdiction of the United States.

International Trade, 1 Federal Plaza, New York, NY 10007. Phone, 212

Special Courts
United States Court of Military Appeals This court was established
under Article I of the Constitution of the United States pursuant to
act of May 5, 1950, as amended (10 U.S.C. 867). Subject only to
certiorari review by the Supreme Court of the United States in a
limited number of cases, the court serves as the final appellate
tribunal to review court-martial convictions of all the armed
services. It is exclusively an appellate criminal court, consisting of
five civilian judges who are appointed for 15-year terms by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The court is
called upon to exercise jurisdiction to review the record in all
cases:
extending to death;
certified to the court by a Judge Advocate General of an armed
service or by the General Counsel of the Department of Transportation,
acting for the Coast Guard; or
petitioned by accused who have received a sentence of confinement for
1 year or more, and/or a punitive discharge.
The court also exercises authority under the All Writs Act (28 U.S.C.
1651 (a)).
In addition, the judges of the court are required by law to work
jointly with the senior uniformed lawyer from each Armed Force, the
Chief Counsel of the Coast Guard, and two members of the public
appointed by the Secretary of Defense, to make an annual comprehensive
survey and to report annually to the Congress on the operation and
progress of the military justice system under the Uniform Code of
Military Justice, and to recommend improvements wherever necessary.

Special Courts
United States Tax Court This is a court of record under Article I of
the Constitution of the United States (26 U.S.C. 7441). Currently an
independent judicial body in the legislative branch, the court was
originally created as the United States Board of Tax Appeals, an
independent agency in the executive branch, by the Revenue Act of 1924
(43 Stat. 336) and continued by the Revenue Act of 1926 (44 Stat.
105), the Internal Revenue Codes of 1939, 1954, and 1986. The name was
changed to the Tax Court of the United States by the Revenue Act of
1942 (56 Stat. 957), and the Article I status and change in name to
United States Tax Court were effected by the Tax Reform Act of 1969
(83 Stat. 730).
The court is composed of 19 judges. Its strength is augmented by
senior judges who may be recalled by the chief judge to perform
further judicial duties and by 17 special trial judges who are
appointed by the chief judge and serve at the pleasure of the court.
The chief judge is elected biennially from among the 19 judges of the
court.
The Tax Court tries and adjudicates controversies involving the
existence of deficiencies or overpayments in income, estate, gift, and
generation-skipping transfer taxes in cases where deficiencies have
been determined by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. It also hears
cases commenced by transferees and fiduciaries who have been issued
notices of liability by the Commissioner.
The Tax Court has jurisdiction to redetermine excise taxes and
penalties imposed on private foundations. Similar jurisdiction over
excise taxes has been conferred with regard to public charities,
qualified pension plans, and real estate investment trusts.
At the option of the individual taxpayer, simplified procedures may be
utilized for the trials of small tax cases, provided that in a case
conducted under these procedures the decision of the court would be
final and not subject to review by any court. The jurisdictional
maximum for such cases is $10,000 for any disputed year.
In disputes relating to public inspection of written determinations by
the Internal Revenue Service, the Tax Court has jurisdiction to
restrain disclosure or to obtain additional disclosure of written
determinations or background file documents and, at the request of any
person, to order disclosure of the identity of any person to whom the
written determination pertains, if there has been a third party
contact noted on the determination made public.
The Tax Court has jurisdiction to render declaratory judgments
relating to the qualification of retirement plans, including pension,
profit-sharing, stock bonus, annuity, and bond purchase plans; the
tax-exempt status of a charitable organization, qualified charitable
donee, private foundation, or private operating foundation; and the
status of interest on certain governmental obligations. Additional
jurisdiction was conferred on the Tax Court by the Technical and
Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988 (102 Stat. 3342). Such jurisdiction
includes injunctive authority over certain procedure assessments,
authority to review certain jeopardy assessments and jeopardy levies,
and authority to hear and decide appeals by taxpayers from the denial
of administrative costs by the Internal Revenue Service.
All decisions other than small tax cases are subject to review by the
courts of appeals and thereafter by the Supreme Court of the United
States upon the granting of a writ of certiorari.
The office of the court and all of its judges are located in
Washington, DC, with the exception of a field office located in Los
Angeles, CA. The court conducts trial sessions at various locations
within the United States as reasonably convenient to taxpayers as
practicable. Each trial session is conducted by a single judge or a
special trial judge. All proceedings are public and are conducted
judicially in accordance with the court's Rules of Practice and the
rules of evidence applicable in trials without a jury in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia. A fee of $60 is
prescribed for the filing of a petition. Practice before the court is
limited to practitioners admitted under the court's Rules.

Special Courts
Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals The Economic Stabilization Act
Amendments of 1971 (85 Stat. 743) created a special court known as the
Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals of the United States. The court
has exclusive jurisdiction over all appeals from the district courts
of the United States in cases and controversies arising under the
economic stabilization and energy conservation laws, and consists of
eight circuit and district judges designated by the Chief Justice. The
court has been in operation since February 1972, and its principal
location is at the United States Courthouse in the District of
Columbia.
The court operates under its own rules (28 U.S.C. app.) and the
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Under the rules, the hearing
divisions sit when necessary at Washington, DC; St. Paul, MN; Atlanta,
GA; Houston, TX; and San Francisco, CA; and at such other places and
times as the Chief Judge may designate.

United States Court of Veterans Appeals The United States Court of
Veterans Appeals was established on November 18, 1988 (102 Stat. 4105,
38 U.S.C. 4051) pursuant to Article I of the Constitution, and given
exclusive jurisdiction to review decisions of the Board of Veterans
Appeals. However, the Court may not review the schedule of ratings for
disabilities or actions of the Administrator in adopting or revising
that schedule. Decisions of the Court of Veterans Appeals may be
appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The Court consists of a chief judge and at least two, but not more
than six, associate judges. All judges are appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate for terms of 15 years.
The court's principal office is in the District of Columbia, but the
Court can also act at any place within the United States.

The Administrative Office of the United States Courts is charged with
the nonjudicial, administrative business of the United States Courts,
including the maintenance of workload statistics, and the disbursement
of funds appropriated for the maintenance of the U.S. judicial
system.
The Administrative Office of the United States Courts was created by
act of August 7, 1939 (28 U.S.C. 601). The Office was established
November 6, 1939. Its Director and Deputy Director are appointed by
the Chief Justice of the United States after consultation with the
Judicial Conference.
Administering the Courts The Director is the administrative officer of
the courts of the United States (except the Supreme Court). Under the
supervision and direction of the Judicial Conference of the United
States he is required, among other things, to:
supervise all administrative matters relating to the offices of
clerks and other clerical and administrative personnel of the courts;
examine the state of the dockets of the courts, secure information as
to the courts' need of assistance, and prepare and transmit quarterly
to the chief judges of the circuits statistical data and reports as to
the business of the courts;
submit to the annual meeting of the Judicial Conference of the United
States, at least 2 weeks prior thereto, a report of the activities of
the Administrative Office and the state of the business of the
courts;
fix the compensation of employees of the courts whose compensation is
not otherwise fixed by law;
regulate and pay annuities to widows and surviving dependent children
of judges;
disburse moneys appropriated for the maintenance and operation of the
courts;
examine accounts of court officers;
regulate travel of judicial personnel;
provide accommodations and supplies for the courts and their clerical
and administrative personnel;
establish and maintain programs for the certification and utilization
of court interpreters and the provision of special interpretation
services in the courts; and
perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by the Supreme
Court or the Judicial Conference of the United States.
The Director is also responsible for the preparation and submission of
the budget of the courts, except the budget of the Supreme Court.
Probation Officers The Administrative Office exercises general
supervision of the accounts and practices of the Federal probation
offices, subject to primary control by the respective district courts
that they serve. The Office publishes quarterly, in cooperation with
the Bureau of Prisons of the Department of Justice, a magazine
entitled Federal Probation, which is a journal ``of correctional
philosophy and practice.''
The Director also has responsibility with respect to the establishment
of pretrial services in the district courts under the Pretrial
Services Act of 1982 (18 U.S.C. 3152). These offices report to their
respective courts information concerning pretrial release of persons
charged with Federal offenses and supervise such persons who are
released to their custody.
Bankruptcy The Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984
(28 U.S.C. 151) provided that the bankruptcy judges for each judicial
district shall constitute a unit of the district court to be known as
the bankruptcy court. Bankruptcy judges shall be appointed by the
courts of appeals in such numbers as authorized by Congress and shall
serve for a term of 14 years as judicial officers of the district
courts.
This act placed jurisdiction in the district courts over all cases
under title 11, United States Code, and all proceedings arising in or
related to cases under that title (28 U.S.C. 1334). The district court
may provide for such cases and proceedings to be referred to its
bankruptcy judges (as authorized by 28 U.S.C. 157).
The Director of the Administrative Office recommends to the Judicial
Conference the official duty stations and places of holding court of
bankruptcy judges, surveys the need for additional bankruptcy
judgeships to be recommended to Congress, and determines the staff
needs of bankruptcy judges and the clerks of the bankruptcy courts.
Federal Magistrates Under the Federal Magistrates Act, as amended (28
U.S.C. 631), the Director of the Administrative Office, under the
supervision and direction of the Judicial Conference, exercises
general supervision over administrative matters in offices of United
States magistrates, compiles and evaluates statistical data relating
to such offices, and submits reports thereon to the Conference. The
Director reports annually to Congress on the business that has come
before United States magistrates and also prepares legal and
administrative manuals for the use of the magistrates. The act
provides for surveys to be conducted by the Administrative Office of
the conditions in the judicial districts in order to make
recommendations as to the number, location, and salaries of
magistrates, which are determined by the Conference subject to the
availability of appropriated funds.
Federal Defenders The Criminal Justice Act (18 U.S.C. 3006A)
establishes the procedure for the appointment of counsel in Federal
criminal cases for individuals who are unable to afford adequate
representation under plans adopted by each district court. The act
also permits the establishment of Federal public defender or Federal
community defender organizations by the district courts in districts
where at least 200 persons annually require the appointment of
counsel. Two adjacent districts may be combined to reach this total.
Each defender organization submits to the Director of the
Administrative Office an annual report of its activities along with a
proposed budget or, in the case of community defender organizations, a
proposed grant for the coming year. The Director is responsible for
the submission of the proposed budgets and grants to the Judicial
Conference for approval. The Director also makes payments to the
defender organizations out of appropriations in accordance with the
approved budgets and grants, as well as compensating private counsel
appointed to defend criminal cases in the U.S. courts.

The Office of Management and Budget evaluates, formulates, and
coordinates management procedures and program objectives within and
among Federal departments and agencies. It also controls the
administration of the Federal budget, while routinely providing the
President with recommendations regarding budget proposals and relevant
legislative enactments.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), formerly the Bureau of the
Budget, was established in the Executive Office of the President
pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1939 (5 U.S.C. app.),
effective July 1, 1939.
By Executive Order 11541 of July 1, 1970, all functions transferred to
the President of the United States by part I of Reorganization Plan
No. 2 of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.) were delegated to the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget. Such functions are to be carried out
by the Director under the direction of the President. Reorganization
Plan No. 1 of 1977 (5 U.S.C. app.) and Executive orders issued
pursuant to that plan amended further the functions of OMB. The
Office's functions include the following:
to assist the President in his program to develop and maintain
effective government by reviewing the organizational structure and
management procedures of the executive branch to ensure that they
produce the intended results;
to assist in developing efficient coordinating mechanisms to
implement Government activities and to expand interagency
cooperation;
to assist the President in the preparation of the budget and the
formulation of the fiscal program of the Government;
to supervise and control the administration of the budget;
to assist the President by clearing and coordinating departmental
advice on proposed legislation and by making recommendations as to
Presidential action on legislative enactments, in accordance with past
practice;
to assist in the development of regulatory reform proposals and in
programs for paperwork reduction, especially reporting burdens of the
public;
to assist in the consideration and clearance and, where necessary, in
the preparation of proposed Executive orders and proclamations;
to plan and develop information systems to provide the President with
program performance data;
to plan, conduct, and promote evaluation efforts to assist the
President in the assessment of program objectives, performance, and
efficiency; and
to keep the President informed of the progress of activities by
Government agencies with respect to work proposed, initiated, and
completed, together with the relative timing of work between the
several agencies of the Government, all to the end that the work
programs of the several agencies of the executive branch of the
Government may be coordinated and that the moneys appropriated by the
Congress may be expended in the most economical manner with the least
possible overlapping and duplication of effort.
Office of Federal Procurement Policy
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 404)
established the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) within the
Office of Management and Budget to improve the economy, efficiency,
and effectiveness of the procurement processes by providing overall
direction of procurement policies, regulations, procedures, and forms.
The establishment of OFPP implemented the first recommendation made by
the Commission on Government Procurement in its report to Congress in
December 1972. Its authority applies to procurement by executive
agencies and recipients of Federal grants or assistance of property,
other than real property in being; services, including research and
development; and construction, alteration, repair, or maintenance of
real property.

The United States Trade Representative is responsible for the
direction of all trade negotiations of the United States and for the
formulation of trade policy for the United States.
The Office of the United States Trade Representative was created as
the Office of the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations by
Executive Order 11075 of January 15, 1963. The Trade Act of 1974 (19
U.S.C. 2171) established the office as an agency of the Executive
Office of the President charged with administering the trade
agreements program under the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1654), the
Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1801), and the Trade Act of
1974 (19 U.S.C. 2101). Other powers and responsibilities for
coordinating trade policy were assigned to the Office by the Trade Act
of 1974 and by the President in Executive Order 11846 of March 27,
1975, as amended.
Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1979 (5 U.S.C. app.), implemented by
Executive Order 12188 of January 4, 1980, charged the Office with
responsibility for setting and administering overall trade policy. It
also provides that the United States Trade Representative shall be
chief representative of the United States for:
all activities concerning the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade;
discussions, meetings, and negotiations in the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development when such activities deal
primarily with trade and commodity issues;
negotiations in the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development and other multilateral institutions when such negotiations
deal primarily with trade and commodity issues;
other bilateral and multilateral negotiations when trade, including
East-West trade, or commodities is the primary issue;
negotiations under sections 704 and 734 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19
U.S.C. 1671c and 1673c); and
negotiations concerning direct investment incentives and
disincentives and bilateral investment issues concerning barriers to
investment.
The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 codified these prior
authorities and added additional authority, including the
implementation of section 301 actions (regarding enforcement of U.S.
rights under international trade agreements).
The Office is headed by the United States Trade Representative, a
Cabinet-level official with the rank of Ambassador, who is directly
responsible to the President. There are three Deputy United States
Trade Representatives, who also hold the rank of Ambassador, two
located in Washington and one in Geneva. The Chief Textile Negotiator
and the Uruguay round coordinator also hold the rank of Ambassador.
The United States Trade Representative serves as an ex officio member
of the Boards of Directors of the Export-Import Bank and the Overseas
Private Investment Corporation and serves on the National Advisory
Council for International Monetary and Financial Policy.

The Department of Agriculture benefits all Americans daily. It works
to improve and maintain farm income and to develop and expand markets
abroad for agricultural products. The Department helps to curb and to
cure poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. It works to enhance the
environment and to maintain our production capacity by helping
landowners protect the soil, water, forests, and other natural
resources. Rural development, credit, and conservation programs are
key resources for carrying out national growth policies. Department
research findings directly or indirectly benefit all Americans. The
Department, through inspection and grading services, safeguards and
ensures standards of quality in the daily food supply.10
The Department of Agriculture (USDA) was created by act of May 15,
1862 (7 U.S.C. 2201), and was administered by a Commissioner of
Agriculture until 1889 (5 U.S.C. 511, 514, 516). By act of February 9,
1889 (7 U.S.C. 2202, 2208, 2212), the powers and duties of the
Department were enlarged. The Department was made the eighth executive
department in the Federal Government, and the Commissioner became the
Secretary of Agriculture.

Staff Offices
Administration The Assistant Secretary for Administration serves as
the principal adviser to the Secretary on all administrative
management and related matters. Five departmental staff offices report
to the Assistant Secretary and assist in providing staff support to
top policy officials and program agencies to ensure the efficient and
effective management and operation of the Department. These are the
Office of Personnel, the Office of Finance and Management, the Office
of Information Resources Management, the Office of Advocacy and
Enterprise, and the Office of Operations. These offices coordinate the
Department's personnel management program; equal opportunity and civil
rights activities; safety and health activities; management
improvement programs; accounting, fiscal, and financial activities;
automated data processing administration; procurement and contracts;
and management of real and personal property.
In addition, two quasi-judicial agencies, the Office of Administrative
Law Judges and the Board of Contract Appeals, report to the Assistant
Secretary. Both organizations operate autonomously when adjudicating
cases and deciding contract disputes.
The Assistant Secretary for Administration serves as the Department's
Director of Equal Employment Opportunity and oversees all equal
opportunity and civil rights programs within USDA.
General Counsel The General Counsel is the chief law officer of the
Department and is responsible for providing legal services for all
programs, operations, and activities of the Department. The functions
of the General Counsel's Office are performed in the Washington
Headquarters, and in 5 regional and 17 branch offices. The
headquarters legal staff is divided into four sections; each directed
by an Associate General Counsel, and include: Regulatory and
Marketing; International Affairs, Commodity and Food Assistance
Programs; Community Development and Natural Resources; and
Legislation, Litigation, Research and Operations. In general, the
regional and branch offices provide legal services relating to the
activities of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service,
the Commodity Credit Corporation, the Farmers Home Administration, the
Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, the Forest Service, the Soil
Conservation Service, and the Food and Nutrition Service.
The Office also provides a full range of legal services to the
Department's agencies, offices, and corporations. These legal services
include: rendering opinions on legal questions; preparing or reviewing
rules and regulations; preparing or interpreting contracts, mortgages,
leases, deeds, and other documents; representing departmental agencies
in litigation debt collection programs; processing applications for
patents or inventions by the Department's employees; representing
departmental agencies in State water rights adjudication; considering
and determining claims by and against the United States arising out of
the Department's activities; assisting the Department of Justice in
the preparation and trial of cases involving the Department; and
representing the Secretary of Agriculture and the Commodity Credit
Corporation before the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Federal
Maritime Commission, and the International Trade Commission.
Inspector General The Office of the Inspector General was established
administratively by the Secretary of Agriculture in 1962. The
Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. app.) created statutory
inspectors general in the Department of Agriculture and a number of
other Federal executive departments and independent agencies. The
Inspector General conducts and supervises all audits and
investigations relating to the programs and operations of the
Department. The Office also is responsible for coordinating,
conducting, or supervising all other activities carried out by the
Department for the purpose of promoting program economy and efficiency
and preventing and detecting fraud. The investigation of employee
complaints, physical security of the Secretary, review of legislation
and regulations for their impact on program efficiency and
susceptibility to abuse, and relations with governmental and
nongovernmental units concerning program efficiency and prevention of
fraud also are responsibilities of the Office. The Office is headed by
an Inspector General who is appointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate.
For further information, call 202 447 8001.
Budget and Program Analysis The Office of Budget and Program Analysis
coordinates the preparation of departmental budget estimates and
legislative reports; administers systems for the management and
control of funds; provides policy, program, and budgetary analysis of
USDA proposals; and provides staff assistance to USDA agencies in
meeting their responsibilities for the development and review of
regulations.
Office of Public Affairs The Office of Public Affairs is the
communication pulse of USDA, providing services to all of the
Department's 43 agencies to ensure that the communications objectives
of the entire Department are achieved. The Director of Public Affairs
orchestrates the activities of four offices: Public Liaison,
Intergovernmental Affairs, Resources Management, and Information
Technology Management; and oversees seven divisions. The Director also
coordinates major events for the Secretary and the Department, and
communicates USDA's policy to the media, America's farmers, commodity
organizations, agribusiness, and consumers. In addition, the Office
acts as a liaison with State departments of agriculture, local
governmental agencies, and Indian tribes.
Judicial Officer The Judicial Officer serves as the final deciding
officer, in the place of the Secretary, in regulatory proceedings and
appeals of a quasi-judicial nature where a hearing is statutorily
required.
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Congressional Relations The
Office establishes policy and procedures for the conduct of relations
with Congress. It serves as the principal point of departmental
contact with the Congress and provides guidance to the Secretary and
all departmental staff on congressional issues.

Farmers Home Administration
[For the Farmers Home Administration statement of organization, see
the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 7, Part 2003]
The Farmers Home Administration, an agency within the Department of
Agriculture, provides credit for those in rural America who are unable
to get credit from other sources at reasonable rates and terms.
The Administration operates principally under the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1921) and title V of the Housing
Act of 1949 (42 U.S.C. 1471).
Applications for loans are made at the agency's 2,200 local county and
district offices, generally located in county seats. A county or area
committee of three individuals, at least two of whom are farmers,
certifies or recommends as to eligibility of individual farm loan
applicants and reviews borrowers' progress. The Administration makes
loans from three revolving funds: the Agricultural Credit Insurance
Fund, the Rural Housing Insurance Fund, and the Rural Development
Insurance Fund.
The Administration provides financial and management assistance
through the following types of loans:
Operating Loans Loans are made to farmers who operate family-size
farms and who cannot get the credit they need from conventional
sources. They may be farming as individuals, joint operators,
cooperatives, or corporations. Operating loan funds may be used to
acquire needed resources, to make improved use of their land and labor
resources, and to make adjustments necessary for successful farming
and nonfarm enterprises. Funds may be advanced to pay for equipment,
livestock, feed, seed, fertilizer, other farm and home operating
needs; refinance chattel debts; provide operating credit to fish
farmers; carry out forestry purposes; and develop income-producing,
nonfarm enterprises.
For loans made directly by the Administration, the interest rate is
set periodically, based on the Federal Government's cost of borrowing.
For loans made by other lenders and guaranteed by the Administration,
the interest rate is negotiated between the lender and the borrower.
The limit on farm operating loans made by the Administration is
$200,000, and on guaranteed loans the limit is $400,000. Loans may be
repaid over 1 to 7 years. Other reliable agricultural credit sources
are encouraged to support as much of the essential needs of loan
applicants as possible with the balance supplied from operating loan
funds of the agency. Operating loan borrowers are expected to
refinance their operating loans and return to conventional credit when
able to do so.
Youth Project Loans The Administration makes loans to individual rural
residents between the ages of 10 and 21 to establish and operate
income-producing enterprises of modest size, either on the farm or in
other locations. The interest rate is determined by formula
periodically. Repayment terms depend upon the type of project for
which the loan is made. This program is designed to help 4 H Clubs,
Future Farmers of America, and other youth group members finance their
agricultural or nonagricultural projects.
Emergency Loans Emergency loans are made to eligible farmers,
ranchers, and aquaculture operators for losses arising from natural
disasters. In order to be eligible to apply for an emergency loan,
farmers must carry multiperil crop insurance if it is available. Only
family-size farms qualify for these loans.
Each loan is scheduled for repayment as rapidly as feasible, in annual
installments, consistent with the borrower's reasonable ability to
pay. The schedule varies according to the purpose of the loan.
The interest rate for emergency loans offsetting actual losses is 4.5
percent. Loans are limited to $500,000 or 80 percent of actual losses,
less any insurance protection.
Farm Ownership Loans These loans enable farmers and ranchers to buy
farms and owners of inadequate or underimproved farms to enlarge or
develop farms. Loans are limited to farms that are not larger than
family-size farms. Loans may include funds to construct or repair farm
homes and service buildings and facilities; improve land; develop
water, forestry, and fish farming resources; establish nonfarm
enterprises to supplement farm income; and refinance debts.
Repayment is scheduled according to the borrower's ability to repay,
but the maximum term is 40 years. The interest rate is set
periodically, based on the cost of Government borrowing. The maximum
for insured loans is $200,000 and for guaranteed loans is $300,000.
The loan may not exceed the market value of the farm or other
security.
Loans to Limited-Resource Farmers The Administration makes loans to
help low-income farmers and ranchers improve their farming and earn a
better living. These loans are made on easier terms than ordinary farm
loans and are intended to give the limited-resource farmer a chance to
become more successful in farming.
Limited-resource farmers are owners or tenants of small farms yielding
low production and low income due to factors such as lack of land,
equipment, or opportunity to get necessary financing, or limited
education in farming or management.
Loans to limited-resource farmers may be made for farm purchases or
operating expenses. Loans for the purchase of farm real estate are
made at lower interest rates. Production loans also are made at lower
interest rates and evaluated every 2 years. Repayment terms vary
according to the purposes of the loan. While the needs of
limited-resource farmers are usually well below its limits, the agency
can make a real estate loan and a production loan of up to $200,000
under this program. Farm Ownership and Operating Loan Funds are
targeted to members of socially disadvantaged groups.
Soil and Water Conservation Loans Loans are made to owners or
operators of farms and ranches, including farming partnerships and
domestic corporations to assist them in developing, conserving, and
making proper use of their land and other resources. Loans are
repayable within 40 years. The interest rate for insured loans is
determined by the Secretary of Agriculture and does not exceed the
cost of money to the Government, plus up to 1 percent additional.
Loans may be made by the Administration or by other lenders with an
agency guarantee. Guaranteed loans bear an interest rate negotiated by
the lender and the borrower.
Loans to Indian Tribes Loans to Indian tribes and tribal corporations
are made for the acquisition of lands, including those within the
reservation or community. Loans are made for up to 40 years. The
interest rate is set periodically, based on the cost of Government
borrowing.
Rural Housing Loans Section 502 loans are made to low-income families
for housing in rural areas. Loans can be made to build, purchase,
repair, and refinance homes. The maximum term can be 38 years, and the
loan may be for 100 percent of the appraised value. The basic interest
rate is determined periodically, based on the cost of money. Borrowers
may qualify for annual subsidy on the loan, which can reduce the
interest rate to as low as 1 percent. Cosigners on promissory notes
may be permitted for applicants who are deficient in repayment ability.
Builders may obtain from the Administration ``conditional
commitments'' that are assurances to a builder or seller that if their
houses meet agency lending requirements, then the agency may make
loans to qualified applicants to buy the houses.
An owner-occupant may obtain a section 504 loan of up to $15,000, or,
in the case of senior citizens, a grant of up to $5,000 to remove
hazards to the health and safety of the family. These loans, available
to very low-income families, are made at 1 percent interest.
Loans are made to private, nonprofit corporations, consumer
cooperatives, State or local public agencies, and individuals or
organizations operating on a profit or limited profit basis to provide
rental or cooperative housing in rural areas for persons of low and
moderate income. Maximum term is 50 years. Rental assistance may be
available to help defray rent paid by low-income families.
Loans and grants are authorized for housing for farm laborers.
Loans repayable in 2 years are authorized to nonprofit organizations
to purchase and develop land for resale as homesites for persons of
low-to-moderate income.
Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Loans These loans enable
local organizations approved by the Soil Conservation Service to
finance projects that protect and develop land and water resources in
small watersheds.
Loans may be repaid over 50 years at an interest rate based on the
average rate paid by the U.S. Treasury on obligations of similar
maturity. Total loans outstanding on any one watershed project may not
exceed $10 million. Authority for these loans is contained in section
8 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1964 (16
U.S.C. 1006a).
Resource Conservation and Development Loans These loans enable
sponsors of projects approved for operation by the Soil Conservation
Service to finance projects for natural resource conservation and
development in designated areas. Such loans may be made for periods up
to 30 years with repayment of principal and interest deferred up to 5
years, if necessary. Authority for these loans is contained in section
32(e) of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (7 U.S.C. 1011(e)) and
subtitle A of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1921).
Community Programs Loans Direct and guarantee loans are authorized to
public and quasi-public bodies, nonprofit associations, and certain
Indian tribes for essential community facilities, such as water and
waste disposal systems, fire and rescue, and health care. Necessary
related equipment may also be purchased.
The interest rate is set periodically for direct loans and is based on
yields of municipal bonds. Guarantee loans bear an interest rate
negotiated by the lender and the borrower.
Water and waste disposal projects may serve residents of open country
and rural towns of not more than 10,000 population. Community facility
loans may be made in towns of up to 20,000.
Grants may be made for up to 75 percent of the cost for water and
waste disposal projects when necessary to bring user costs to a
reasonable level.
Business and Industry Loans The Administration is authorized to make
or guarantee loans to public, private, or cooperative associations
organized for profit or nonprofit; to certain Indian tribes or tribal
groups; or to individuals for the purpose of improving, developing, or
financing business, industry, and employment and improving the
economic and environmental climate in rural communities.
The purpose is to develop business enterprises in rural areas and
cities of less than 50,000 population, with priority to applications
for projects in open country, rural communities and towns of 25,000
and smaller.
Private lenders initiate, process, close, service, and supervise
guaranteed loans; the Farmers Home Administration guarantees a lender
against loss on up to 90 percent of principal and interest. Interest
rates are determined between borrower and lender.
Intermediary Relending Program Loans Loans are made to nonprofit
corporations, public agencies, Indian tribes, or cooperatives to
establish revolving loan funds from which the borrower, in turn, makes
loans to finance businesses or community development projects.
Entities that receive loans from FmHA are referred to as
``intermediaries'' and entities that receive loans from intermediaries
are referred to as ``ultimate recipients.'' Loans to intermediaries
may be for up to $3,000,000, to be repaid over up to 30 years, at 1
percent interest. Loans to ultimate recipients must not exceed
$150,000. The term and interest rate to ultimate recipients are set by
the intermediary. Ultimate recipients must not be located in a city
with a population of 25,000 or more.

Rural Electrification Administration
[For the Rural Electrification Administration statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 7, Part
1700]
The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) is a credit agency of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture that assists rural electric and
telephone utilities in obtaining financing. This assistance may
include insured loans, agency guarantees of loans made by others, and
agency approval of security arrangements that permit agency borrowers
to obtain financing from other lenders without a guarantee.
Approximately 1,000 rural electric and approximately 1,000 rural
telephone utilities in 47 States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana
Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia have received REA
loans, loan guarantees, or other assistance to construct, expand, and
improve rural electric and telephone systems.
The Administration was established by Executive Order 7037 of May 11,
1935, as part of a general program of unemployment relief. It was
given statutory authority by the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 901 950b). Its Administrator is appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Electric Program The Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended (7
U.S.C. 901 950b), established REA as a lending agency with
responsibility for developing a program for rural electrification.
The act requires that preference be given to nonprofit and cooperative
associations and to public bodies. With the agency's assistance, rural
electric utilities have obtained financing to construct electric
generating plants and transmission and distribution lines to provide
initial and continued adequate electric service to persons in rural
areas.
Telephone Program In 1949 REA was authorized to make loans to provide
telephone service in rural areas. Congress directed that the rural
telephone program be conducted to ``assure the availability of
adequate telephone service to the widest practicable number of rural
users of such service.'' About 75 percent of the telephone systems
financed by the agency are commercial companies, and about 25 percent
are subscriber-owned cooperatives.
Loans Loans are made from the Rural Electrification and Telephone
Revolving Fund, which was established in 1973 in the U.S. Treasury. By
law, REA loans are made at a 5-percent interest rate. The
Administrator may approve loans at interest rates as low as 2 percent
where there is a finding of extreme hardship.
Since 1973 the Administration has advanced more loan funds to its
borrowers than it has received in payments on loans. The Fund obtains
the additional funds necessary to meet its interest expenses and loan
advances from the U.S. Treasury by direct borrowing and sale of
Certificates of Beneficial Ownership to the Federal Financing Bank
(FFB), which is located in the Treasury. Interest paid by the agency
on funds obtained from the Treasury is several points higher than the
agency is permitted to charge borrowers.
Loan Guarantees The Administration also guarantees loans made by other
lenders, mainly for large-scale electric and telephone facilities.
Guarantees are considered if such loans could have been made by the
agency under the Rural Electrification Act, and may be obtained from
any legally organized lending agency qualified to make, hold, and
service the loan. All policies and procedures of the agency are
applicable to a guaranteed loan.
In 1974 the Agency entered into an agreement with FFB, whereby the Ba
nk agreed to purchase obligations guaranteed by the Administrator. The
Administration acts as the agent for the Bank and all borrower
dealings are with the agency. In 1981 the Rural Electrification Act
was amended to require the Bank to make loans under an agency
guarantee if requested to do so by a borrower with such a guarantee.
Most guaranteed loans received by agency borrowers are made by the
Bank.
Supplemental Financing A 1973 amendment of the Rural Electrification
Act states that it is the policy of Congress ``...that rural electric
and telephone systems should be encouraged and assisted in developing
their resources and ability to achieve the financial strength needed
to enable them to satisfy their credit needs from their own financial
organizations and other sources at reasonable rates and terms
consistent with the loan applicant's ability to pay and achievement of
the act's objectives.''
When REA approves electric loans, it requires most borrowers to obtai
n 30 percent of their loan needs from nonagency sources without an
agency guarantee. These nonagency sources include the National Rural
Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, which is owned by electric
cooperatives and the Bank for Cooperatives.
Telephone borrowers obtain supplemental financing from the Rural
Telephone Bank (RTB), an agency of the United States that was
established in 1971. Loans are made to telephone systems able to meet
the RTB's requirements. Bank loans are made for the same purposes as
loans made by REA but bear interest at a rate consistent with the
Bank's cost of money. Effective in fiscal year 1988, the budget act
changed the method of determining Bank interest rates.
The Rural Telephone Bank is managed by a 13-member board of directors.
The Administrator serves as Governor of the Bank until conversion to
private ownership, control, and operation. This will take place when
51 percent of the Class A stock issued to the United States and
outstanding at any time after September 30, 1995, has been fully
redeemed and retired. The Bank board holds at least four regularly
scheduled meetings a year. Activities of RTB are carried out by REA
employees and the Office of the General Counsel of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture.
Rural Development Effective in fiscal year 1988, the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act gave rural electric distribution systems an option
to invest their general funds, in an amount up to 15 percent of their
total plant value, in rural development and other non-utility
projects, without obtaining approval of the Administrator. In
addition, it established a Rural Development Program to provide
interest-free loans and grants to electric and telephone borrowers for
the promotion of rural economic development and job creation
projects.

Federal Crop Insurance Corporation
[For the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation statement of organization,
see the Federal Register of June 10, 1976, 41 FR 23443]
The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) was created within the
Department of Agriculture under the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 1501). The primary goal of FCIC is to improve the
economic stability of agriculture through a sound system of crop
insurance. The Federal Crop Insurance Act of 1980 lifted many
limitations of the crop insurance program, which expanded the
availability of crop insurance and the number of insurable crops.
The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C.
1421 note) strengthened the actuarial foundation of the program. An
insurance program is considered actuarially sound when total premiums
equal or exceed anticipated losses. Further revisions allowed field
offices of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service
(ASCS) to distribute material and lists of qualified agencies offering
crop insurance.
All capital stock of FCIC is owned by the United States.
Administrative and other costs are financed by annual appropriations.
The Corporation's management is vested in a Board of Directors,
subject to the general supervision of the Secretary of Agriculture. A
Manager and Deputy Manager, appointed by the Secretary, are
responsible for coordinating the day-to-day operations of FCIC and for
providing policy leadership.
The Federal Crop Insurance Act of 1980 requires FCIC to contract, as
much as possible, with private companies and encourage insurance sales
through licensed agents and brokers. As a result, FCIC's delivery
system has been shifted largely to the private sector, which offers
insurance through two sales mechanisms. In the first, sales and
service agencies provide insurance of Federal papers. Loss adjustment,
claims functions, and training are carried out by FCIC, which also
supervises marketing services and quality control. The second
mechanism uses reinsured companies that offer crop insurance under
private brand names and provide marketing, distribution, servicing,
training, quality control, premium collection, and adjustment
functions. The Corporation reinsures these companies against
extraordinary operational and actuarial losses.
Federal crop insurance covers unavoidable production losses due to
adverse weather conditions, including drought, excessive rain, hail,
wind, hurricanes, tornadoes, and lightning. It also covers unavoidable
losses due to insect infestation, plant disease, floods, fires, and
earthquakes. It is available in 3,026 counties on 51 crops; however,
not every crop is insurable in every county. Federal crop insurance
does not cover losses due to neglect, poor farming practices, or
theft; nor does it cover financial losses resulting from low farm product prices.
Participation in the program is voluntary, and the producer must pay a
premium for the coverage. Producers select from three coverage levels
(50, 65, or 75 percent) and from three price elections on each
commodity. Premium rates vary on the basis of productivity and risk of
loss. The premium is generally not collected until harvest, can be
deducted from the indemnity, and is fully tax deductible.

Marketing and Inspection Services
Agricultural Cooperative Service
The Agricultural Cooperative Service helps farmers to help themselves
through the use of cooperative organizations. Studies are conducted to
support cooperatives that market farm products, purchase production
supplies, and perform related business services. These studies
concentrate on the financial, organizational, legal, social, and
economic aspects of cooperative activity in U.S. agriculture. The
Service provides technical assistance and research to improve
cooperative performance in organizing new cooperatives, the merits of
merging cooperatives, the changing business structure, and developing
strategies for growth. Applied research is conducted to give farmers
relevant and expert assistance pertaining to their cooperatives.
The Service also collects and publishes basic statistics regarding the
role and scope of cooperative activity in U.S. agriculture. Its
monthly magazine, Farmer Cooperatives, reports current developments
and research for cooperative management.
For further information, contact the Agricultural Cooperative Service,
Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 96576, Washington, DC 20090 6576.
Phone, 202 245 5358.
Agricultural Marketing Service
The Agricultural Marketing Service was established by the Secretary of
Agriculture on April 2, 1972, under the authority of Reorganization
Plan No. 2 of 1953 (5 U.S.C. app.) and other authorities. The Service
administers standardization, grading, inspection, market news,
marketing orders, and research, promotion, and regulatory programs.
Market News The Service provides current, unbiased information to
producers, processors, distributors, and others to assist them in the
orderly marketing and distribution of farm commodities. Information is
collected on supplies, demand, prices, movement, location, quality,
condition, and other market data on farm products in specific markets
and marketing areas. The data is disseminated nationally via a modern
satellite system.
Standardization, Grading, and Classing Grade standards have been
established for nearly 200 agricultural commodities to help buyers and
sellers trade on agreed-upon quality levels. Standards are developed
with the benefit of views from those in the industries directly
affected and others interested.
Grading and classing services also are provided to certify the grade
and quality of products. These services are provided to buyers and
sellers of live cattle, swine, sheep, meat, poultry, eggs, rabbits,
fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, peanuts, dairy products, tobacco, wool,
and mohair. Classing services are provided to buyers and sellers of
cotton and cotton products. These services are mainly voluntary and
are provided upon request and for a fee. The Service also is
responsible for the certification of turpentine and other naval stores
products, and the standardization and testing of seed.
Laboratory Testing The Service provides scientific and laboratory
support to its commodity programs relating to testing of
microbiological and chemical factors in food products through grading,
certification, acceptance, and regulatory programs; processing and
finishing tests for cotton fiber and yarn; testing of peanuts for
aflatoxin, and testing of imported flue-cured and burley tobacco for
pesticide residues. The agency also carries out quality assurance and
safety oversight activities with respect to the Service's commodity
division laboratory and testing activities relating to milk market
administrators, resident grading programs, and State and private
laboratory programs.
The Service also administers the new Pesticide Data Program which, in
cooperation with States, samples and analyzes fresh fruits and
vegetables for pesticide residues. It shares residue test results with
the Environmental Protection Agency and other public agencies.
Food Quality Assurance Under a Governmentwide quality assurance
program, AMS is responsible for the development and revision of
specifications used by Federal agencies in food procuring for military
and civilian uses. The Service coordinates and approves certification
programs designed to ensure that purchased products conform to the
specification requirements.
Section 32 Programs Under section 32 of the act of August 24, 1935, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 612c), 30 percent of customs receipts collected
during each calendar year are automatically appropriated for expanding
outlets for various commodities. Portions of these funds are
transferred to the Food and Nutrition Service of USDA and to the
Department of Commerce. Remaining funds are used to purchase
commodities for the National School Lunch Program and other feeding
programs, for diversion to other outlets, and for administering
agreement and order programs.
Regulatory Programs The Service administers several regulatory
programs designed collectively to protect producers, handlers, and
consumers of agricultural commodities from financial loss or personal
injury resulting from careless, deceptive, or fraudulent marketing
practices. Such regulatory programs encourage fair trading practices
in the marketing of fruits and vegetables, require truth in seed
labeling and advertising, and protect farmers' rights to organize
cooperatives.
Under the Egg Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 1031 1056), the
Service provides mandatory inspection for wholesomeness in all plants
processing liquid, dried, or frozen egg products, and controls the
disposition of restricted shell eggs eggs that are a potential health
hazard.
Marketing Agreements and Orders These programs, under authority of the
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 (7 U.S.C. 601 et seq.),
help to establish and maintain orderly marketing conditions for
certain commodities. Milk marketing orders establish minimum prices
that handlers or distributors are required to pay producers. Programs
for fruits, vegetables, and related specialty crops like nuts and
spearmint oil help stabilize supplies and market prices. In some
cases, they also authorize research and market development activities,
including advertising supported by assessments that handlers pay.
Through orderly marketing, adjusting the supply to demand, and
avoiding unreasonable fluctuations during the marketing season, the
income of producers is increased by normal market forces, and consumer
interests are protected through quality and quantity control.
Federal marketing orders originate with a request from a producer
group to the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary can conduct
hearings and referenda based on the producer group's proposal for a
marketing order. Producer and handler assessments would finance their
operations.
In carrying out the Government role, the Service ensures that persons
interested in the development and operation of the programs have a
fair hearing and that each marketing order works according to Federal
law and established rules and guidelines.
Plant Variety Protection Program Under authority of the Plant Variety
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 2321 et seq.), the Service administers a
program that provides for the issuance of ``certificates of plant
variety protection.'' These certificates afford developers of novel
varieties of sexually reproduced plants exclusive rights to sell,
reproduce, import, or export such varieties, or use them in the
production of hybrids or different varieties for a period of 18
years.
Research and Promotion Programs The Service monitors certain
industry-sponsored research, promotion, and information programs
authorized by Federal laws. These programs provide farmers with a
means to finance and operate various research, promotion, and
information activities for cotton, potatoes, eggs, milk and dairy
products, beef, pork, honey, wool, lamb, mohair, limes, mushrooms,
pecans, and soybeans.
Transportation Programs The Service is also responsible for the
development of an efficient transportation system for rural America
that begins at the farm gate, moves agricultural and other rural
products through the Nation's highways, railroads, airports, and
waterways, and into the domestic and international marketplace. To
accomplish this, AMS conducts economic studies and analyses of these
systems, and represents agricultural and rural transportation
interests in policy and regulatory forums. To provide direct
assistance to the transportation community, AMS supplies research and
technical information to producers, producer groups, shippers,
exporters, rural communities, carriers, government agencies, and
universities.
The Service carries out responsibilities of USDA's former Office of
Transportation under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C.
1281), the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621), the
Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 (7 U.S.C.
1691), the Rural Development Act of 1972 (7 U.S.C. 1921 note), the
International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs Act (7 U.S.C. 4401),
and the Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926 (7 U.S.C. 451 457).
Other Programs Other marketing service activities include financial
grants to States for marketing improvement projects. The agency also
has responsibility for the conduct of studies of the facilities and
methods used in the physical distribution of food and other farm
products; for research designed to improve the handling of all
agricultural products as they move from farm to consumers; and for
increasing marketing efficiency by developing improved operating
methods, facilities, and equipment for processing, handling, and
distributing dairy, poultry, and meat products.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
[For the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 7, Part 371]
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service was reestablished by
the Secretary of Agriculture on March 14, 1977, pursuant to authority
contained in 5 U.S.C. 301 and Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1953 (5
U.S.C. app.).
The Service was established to conduct regulatory and control programs
to protect and improve animal and plant health for the benefit of man
and the environment. In cooperation with State governments, the agency
administers Federal laws and regulations pertaining to animal and
plant health and quarantine, humane treatment of animals, and the
control and eradication of pests and diseases. Regulations to prevent
the introduction or interstate spread of certain animal or plant pests
or diseases are also enforced by the Service. It also carries out
research and operational activities to reduce crop and livestock
depredations caused by birds, rodents, and predators.
Plant Protection and Quarantine Programs Plant protection officials
are responsible for programs to control or eradicate plant pests and
diseases. These programs are carried out in cooperation with the
States involved, other Federal agencies, farmers, and private
organizations. Pest control programs use a single tool or a
combination of pest control techniques, both chemical and nonchemical,
which are both effective and safe.
Agricultural quarantine inspection officials administer Federal
regulations that prohibit or restrict the entry of foreign pests and
plants, plant products, animal products and byproducts, and other
materials that may harbor pests or diseases. Inspection service is
maintained at all major ocean, air, border, and interior ports of
entry in the continental United States and in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto
Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Bahamas, and Bermuda. Services also are
provided on a regular or on-call basis at some 500 outlying ports and
military installations throughout the country.
Other responsibilities include the inspection and certification of
domestic commodities for export, regulation of the import and export
of endangered plant species, and ensuring that imported seed is free
of noxious weeds.
Veterinary Services Animal health officials are responsible for
determining the existence and extent of outbreaks of communicable
diseases and pests affecting livestock and poultry. They organize and
conduct control and eradication programs in cooperation with State
officials.
Service officials maintain inspection and quarantine service at
designated ports of entry for imported animals and birds. They are
responsible for the health certification of livestock and poultry
exported to other countries.
Regulatory Enforcement and Animal Care The Service administers Federal
laws concerned with the humane handling of livestock and poultry in
interstate commerce and governing the transportation, sale, and
handling of dogs, cats, circus and zoo animals, and other animals
intended to be sold at the wholesale level or to be used in laboratory
research or for exhibition. The agency also is responsible for
enforcing the Horse Protection Act of 1970 (15 U.S.C. 1821 note), a
Federal law that prohibits soring of horses shipped interstate to be
shown or sold.
International Services Service officials carry out cooperative plant
pest programs with Canada, Mexico, and other nations when the pest is
a joint problem or presents a threat to this country. They also
cooperate with animal health officials in other countries in planning
and conducting disease control efforts in those countries. In
addition, inspectors work in several foreign countries to supervise
preclearance of agricultural materials for entry into the United
States.
Biotechnology, Biologics, and Environmental Protection Service
officials are responsible for the regulation of genetically engineered
organisms and products that present a plant pest risk. Regulation is
carried out through a permit system. The Service also administers a
Federal law intended to ensure that all veterinary biological
products, whether developed by conventional or new biotechnological
procedures, used in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of animal
disease are safe, pure, potent, and effective. This responsibility is
met by regulating firms that manufacture veterinary biological
products subject to the act. This includes licensing the manufacturing
establishment and its products; inspecting production facilities and
production methods; and testing products under a surveillance
program.
Animal Damage Control Animal damage control officials cooperate with
States, counties, local communities, and agricultural producer groups
to reduce crop and livestock depredations caused by birds, rodents,
and predators. The officials conduct research into predator-prey
relationships, new control methods, and more efficient and safe uses
of present methods such as toxicants, repellants and attractants,
biological controls, scare devices, and habitat alteration. Using
methods and techniques that are biologically sound, environmentally
acceptable, and economically feasible, they participate in efforts to
educate and advise farmers and ranchers on proper uses of control
methods and techniques; they suppress serious nuisances and threats to
public health and safety caused by birds, rodents, and other wildlife
in urban and rural communities; and they work with airport managers to
reduce risks of bird strikes.

Federal Grain Inspection Service
The Federal Grain Inspection Service was established in the U.S.
Department of Agriculture on November 20, 1976. The primary task of
the Service is to carry out the provisions of the United States Grain
Standards Act (7 U.S.C. 71 et seq.) and to ensure integrity in the
inspection, weighing, and handling of domestic grain. An
Administrator, appointed by the President with the advice and consent
of the Senate, heads the agency.
The Service is responsible for establishing official U.S. standards
for grain and other assigned commodities and for administrating a
nationwide official inspection and weighing system. The Service may,
in response to formal application, authorize private and State
agencies to perform official services under the authority contained in
the act.
Three of the Service's four divisions are located in Washington, DC;
the fourth is located in Kansas City, MO. Most employees work in field
offices around the Nation.
Inspection The United States Grain Standards Act requires, with some
exceptions, all domestic export grain be officially inspected. At
export port locations, inspection is performed by the Service or by
State agencies that have been delegated export inspection authority by
the Administrator. For domestic grain, marketed at inland locations,
the Administrator designates private and State agencies to provide
official inspection services upon request. Both export and domestic
services are provided on a fee basis.
To ensure that the official U.S. grain standards are applied
uniformly nationwide, Service field offices provide oversight,
guidance, and assistance to non-Federal agencies performing inspection
activities, both at export and inland inspection points.
Buyers and sellers may request appeal inspections of original
inspection results, first from a field office and then, if desired,
from the Service's Board of Appeals and Review. The Service maintains
a quality control program to monitor the national inspection system
and to ensure that all field locations accurately and uniformly apply
the U.S. grain standards.
Weighing Official weighing of domestic export grain is performed
at port locations by the Service or by State agencies that have been
delegated export weighing authority by the Administrator. For domestic
grain marketed at inland locations, the weighing services may be
provided by the Service or by designated private or State agencies.
Weighing services are provided on a fee basis upon request.
As with inspection activities, Service field offices provide
oversight, guidance, and assistance to non-Federal agencies performing
official weighing services. With the support of the Association of
American Railroads and user fees, the Service conducts a railroad
track scale-testing program which includes an annual testing service
for all State and railroad company-owned master scales. The Service is
the only entity, public or private, which connects all railroad track
scales to the national standards.
Standardization The Service is responsible for establishing, maint
aining, and, as needed, revising official U.S. standards. Such standa
rds exist for corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, flaxseed, sorghum,
soybeans, triticale, sunflowerseed, and mixed grain. The Service has
been authorized to perform applied research for the purpose of
developing methods to improve accuracy and uniformity in grading
grain.
The Service is also responsible for the standardization and inspection
activities for rice, dry beans, peas, lentils, hay, straw, hops, and
related processed grain commodities under the Agricultural Marketing
Act of 1946, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1621). Although standards no longer
exist for hay, straw, and hops, the Service maintains inspection
procedures for and retains authority to inspect these commodities.
Compliance The Service's compliance activities ensure accurate a
nd uniform implementation of the act, applicable provisions of the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, and related regulations including
designating States and private agencies to carry out official
inspection and weighing functions and monitoring, overseeing, and
reviewing the operations of such agencies to ensure adequate
performance.
The Service administers a registration program for all grain firms
that export grain from the United States. In conjunction with the
Office of the Inspector General, the Service carries out a program for
investigating reported violations, and initiates followup and
corrective actions when appropriate. The total compliance program
ensures the integrity of the national inspection and weighing system.

Meat and Poultry Inspection Federal inspection is mandatory for the
following animals and birds used for human food: cattle, calves,
swine, goats, sheep and lambs, horses and other equines, chickens,
turkeys, ducks, geese, and guineas. The work includes inspection of
each animal or bird at slaughter, and inspection of processed products
during various stages of production. The Service tests product samples
for microbial or chemical contaminants to monitor trends or for
enforcement purposes. Facilities and equipment are approved by FSIS
before inspection is granted, and each product label must be approved
by the agency before products can be sold. It monitors products in
storage, distribution, and retail channels; and takes necessary
compliance actions to protect the public, including detention of
products, voluntary product recalls, court-ordered seizures of
products, administrative withdrawal of inspection, and referral for
criminal prosecution. The Service also conducts surveillance of
foreign inspection systems exporting meat or poultry products to the
United States, and oversight of and cooperation with State programs
for the inspection of meat and poultry products sold only within the
State in which produced, by authority of sections 450 through 470 and
sections 601 through 691 of title 21, United States Code.
The Service also monitors livestock upon arrival at federally
inspected facilities to ensure compliance with the Humane Slaughter
Act (7 U.S.C. 1901 1906); conducts voluntary reimbursed inspection for
rabbits and other domestic food animals not covered by the inspection
law (7 U.S.C. 1622); and ensures that inedible products from meat or
poultry, such as offal rendered for animal feed, are properly
identified and isolated from edible products (7 U.S.C. 1624).
The Service conducts a toll-free Meat and Poultry Hotline (800 535

Food and Nutrition Service
[For the Food and Nutrition Service statement of organization, see the
Federal Register of June 6, 1970, 35 FR 8835]
The Food and Nutrition Service is the agency of the Department that
administers the programs to make food assistance available to people
who need it. These programs are operated in cooperation with States
and local governments.
The Service was established on August 8, 1969, by the Secretary of
Agriculture, under authority of 5 U.S.C. 301 and Reorganization Plan
No. 2 of 1953 (5 U.S.C. app.).
Food Stamps The Food Stamp Program provides food coupons through State
and local welfare agencies to needy persons to increase their food
purchasing power. The coupons are used by program participants to buy
food in any retail store that has been approved by FNS to accept and
redeem the food coupons.
Special Nutrition Programs The Service administers several programs
designed to improve the nutrition of children, and particularly those
who come from low-income families. Principal among these is the
National School Lunch Program, which provides financial assistance to
public and nonprofit private schools of high school grade and under,
in operating nonprofit school lunch programs.
The School Breakfast Program provides cash assistance to State
educational agencies to help schools in operating nonprofit breakfast
programs meeting established nutritional standards. It is especially
important in improving the diets of needy children who may receive
breakfast free or at reduced prices.
The Summer Food Service Program for Children helps to get nutritious
meals to needy preschool and school-aged children in schools,
residential summer camps, or during vacations in areas operating under
a continuous school calendar.
The Child Care Food Program is a companion activity that helps to get
nutritious meals to preschool and school-aged children in child care
facilities.
The Special Milk Program for Children, which is administered in
schools, institutions, and split-session kindergartens that do not
participate in any other Federal food program, is designed to help
child nutrition by paying a share of the cost of increased servings of
fluid milk made to children.
Food Distribution The Food Distribution Program makes foods available,
in kind, to eligible recipients. Foods purchased by the Department are
made available principally to children in school lunch and breakfast
programs, in summer camps and child care centers, and to the nutrition
program for the elderly. Also, surplus commodities are distributed to

price, market, and farm income stabilization.
In each State, operations are supervised by a State committee of three
to five members appointed by the Secretary. A State Executive
Director, appointed by the Secretary, and staff carry on day-to-day
operations of the State office. The State Director of the Agricultural
Extension Service is an ex officio member of the State committee.
In each of approximately 3,080 agricultural counties, a county
committee of three farmer members is responsible for local
administration. While two are held over, one is elected yearly, either
directly by farmers or by farmer-elected delegates, to a county
convention. The county agricultural Extension agent is a nonvoting ex
officio member or secretary of the county committee. A county
executive director, with other necessary staff, is employed to carry
on day-to-day operations of the county office, usually located in the
county seat.
Commodity Programs The Service administers the Commodity Credit
Corporation's commodity stabilization programs for wheat, corn, cotton
(upland and extra long staple), seed cotton, soybeans, peanuts, rice,
tobacco, milk, wool, mohair, barley, oats, sugarbeets, sugarcane,
grain sorghum, rye, and honey. Commodity stabilization is achieved
through commodity loans, purchases, and payments to eligible
producers.
For most commodities, loans are made directly to producers on the
unprocessed commodity through the Service's county offices. Some
commodities are also purchased from producers. Price support loans and
purchases also can be made available through cooperative marketing
associations. The price of milk is stabilized through purchases of
processed dairy products. Price stabilization programs for tobacco and
peanuts are carried out through loans to producer associations that,
in turn, make program benefits available to producers. Stabilization
of sugarbeet and sugarcane prices is carried out through loans to
sugar processors, who in turn make program benefits available to
producers.
Loans to producers, except for seed cotton, are ``nonrecourse.'' If
market prices rise above loan levels, producers or their agents can
pay off their loans and market their commodity. If market prices fail
to rise above loan levels, producers or their agents can forfeit or
deliver the commodity to the Commodity Credit Corporation, thereby
discharging their obligations in full.
Commodity stabilization for wool and mohair is accomplished through
the National Wool Act of 1954 (7 U.S.C. 1781 note) by making payments
to producers to bring the national average price received by all
producers up to a support level required by the act.
Eligibility for commodity loans, purchases, and payments is, in most
cases, conditional upon participation in acreage reduction, paid-land
diversion, payment-in-kind, allotment, or quota programs in effect for
the particular crop.
Under the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990,
payments are limited to an annual ceiling of $50,000 per person on the
total payments of upland cotton, extra long staple cotton, wheat,
rice, and feed grain programs for the 1991 through 1995 crops.
The act greatly expanded flexibility for participating farmers to
shift program crop plantings, as well as options for oilseeds and
industrial and experimental crops. The acreage reduction program
requirement for the 1991 crop year is 15 percent for wheat; 7.5
percent for corn, barley, and sorghum; 5 percent for upland and
extra-long staple cotton; and 0 percent for oats.
Emergency Assistance Such programs offered to farmers in
emergency-designated areas may include any or all of the following:
furnishing assistance for feed purchases or making available
Corporation-owned feed grains at reduced prices to eligible producers,
and, in some instances, donation of feed grains;
cost-sharing with farmers who carry out emergency conservation
practices to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disaster; and
allowing haying and grazing on acreage diverted to conserving uses
under the commodity programs or long-term land retirement program on a
county-by-county basis, as needed, in the event of drought or excess
moisture.
Farm Facility Loan Program This program helps qualifying farmers
obtain on-site storage for their crops. Applications for these loans
are accepted by county ASCS offices only during periods announced by
the Secretary of Agriculture.
Grain Reserve Program The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade
Act of 1990 reauthorized the Grain Reserve Program for farmer-owned
wheat, corn, grain sorghum, oats, and barley. When entry into the
Reserve is authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture, producers may
enter into a contract extending their 9-month loan for an additional
27 months and receive quarterly storage payments.
Loans may be repaid at any time. Interest may be charged when prices
exceed 105 percent of the target; however, storage payments cease when
prices exceed 95 percent of the target price.
Indemnity Program The Dairy Indemnity Payment Program provides
indemnity payments to dairy farmers whose milk has been removed from
the commercial market because it contained residues of chemicals or
toxic substances, including nuclear radiation or fallout.
The Service is responsible for defense preparedness plans and programs
relating to food production, conservation, and stabilization; food
processing, storage, and wholesale distribution; controlled
distribution of farm machinery, equipment and repair parts,
distribution of fertilizer, feed, and seed; and the handling, storage,
and distribution of all grains before export or processing.
The Service also provides services relating to expansion of productive
capacity, materials, and facilities under the Defense Production Act
of 1950, as amended (50 U.S.C. 2061); plans for management, control,
and allocation of water to be used for agricultural production and
food processing; consolidates all claims for material, labor,
equipment, supplies, and services needed to support the defense
responsibilities of USDA; and guarantees payments or makes loans, as
needed, for the continuation of food and agriculture activities in a
national defense emergency.
Accounting and budget support is provided by the Service for the
General Sales Manager of the Foreign Agricultural Service in
administering Commodity Credit Corporation export credit sales and
guarantee programs and Food for Peace programs.
To carry out the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of
1978 (7 U.S.C. 3501), the Department assigned the Service the primary
responsibility of collecting information through a reporting system
involving all States and most counties. The agency assesses penalties
on late filed information and refusals to file. The Administrator
rules on appeals resulting from penalties assessed for violations of
the act.
Resource Conservation Programs Under the Food, Agriculture,
Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, new incentives for preserving and
protecting agricultural resources have been implemented.
The major component of a new Environmental Conservation Acreage
Reserve Program (ECARP) is the revised Conservation Reserve Program
which will, beginning in 1991, put greater emphasis on preserving and
upgrading water quality, identifying environmentally sensitive areas
for special conservation treatment, and planting trees. Also included
under ECARP is a new Wetlands Reserve Program which features easements
to implement approved plans for wetland restoration and protection of
farms.
Another new program is the Agricultural Water Quality Protection
Program, a voluntary program with a goal of enrolling 10 million acres
of farmland under agricultural water protection plans by the end of
1995.
The Integrated Farm Management Program Option is a voluntary program
to encourage participants to plant resource conserving crops on
commodity base acres.
In addition, producers who farm highly erodible land without an
approved conservation plan will be considered ineligible for USDA
program benefits. Other provisions of the new law are designed to
discourage farming practices that may have adverse environmental
impacts.
Other previously authorized conservation programs provide assistance
to install a variety of soil-saving practices and other measures to
control erosion, to plant trees and improve timberstands, to prevent
the loss of wetlands for migratory waterfowl, and to control nonpoint
source water pollution in rural America.

Commodity Credit Corporation
The Commodity Credit Corporation was organized October 17, 1933,
pursuant to Executive Order 6340 of October 16, 1933, under the laws
of the State of Delaware, as an agency of the United States. From
October 17, 1933, to July 1, 1939, the Corporation was managed and
operated in close affiliation with the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. On July 1, 1939, the agency was transferred to the
Department of Agriculture by the President's Reorganization Plan No. I
of 1939 (5 U.S.C. app.). Approval of the Commodity Credit Corporation
Charter Act on June 29, 1948 (15 U.S.C. 714), subsequently amended,
established the Corporation, effective July 1, 1948, as an agency and
instrumentality of the United States under a permanent Federal
charter.
The Corporation stabilizes, supports, and protects farm income and
prices, assists in maintaining balanced and adequate supplies of
agricultural commodities and their products, and facilitates the
orderly distribution of commodities.
The Corporation is managed by a Board of Directors, subject to the
general supervision and direction of the Secretary of Agriculture, who
is an ex officio Director and Chairman of the Board. The Board
consists of seven members (in addition to the Secretary of
Agriculture), who are appointed by the President of the United
States.
The Corporation is capitalized at $100 million and has statutory
authority to borrow up to $30 billion from the U.S. Treasury. It
utilizes the personnel and facilities of the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Service and, in certain foreign
assistance operations, the Foreign Agricultural Service to carry out
its activities.
A commodity office in Kansas City, MO, has specific responsibilities
for the acquisition, handling, storage, and disposal of commodities
and products held by the Corporation.
Commodity Stabilization Loan, purchase, and/or payment programs of the
Corporation are administered by the Service for wheat, corn, upland
and extra-long staple cotton, peanuts, rice, tobacco, milk, wool,
mohair, honey, barley, oats, grain sorghum, rye, soybeans, sugarbeets,
and sugarcane.
Commodities acquired under the stabilization program are disposed of
through domestic and export sales, transfers to other Government
agencies, and donations for domestic and foreign welfare use. The
Corporation also is authorized to exchange surplus agricultural
commodities it has acquired by the Corporation for strategic and other
materials and services produced abroad.
Foreign Assistance Under Public Law 480, the Agricultural Trade
Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1691),
the Corporation carries out assigned foreign assistance activities,
such as guaranteeing the credit sale of U.S. agricultural commodities
abroad. Major emphasis is also being directed toward meeting the needs
of developing nations under the Food for Peace Act of 1966 (7 U.S.C.
1691) that further amends the Agricultural Trade Development and
Assistance Act of 1954. Under these authorities, agricultural
commodities are procured and exported to combat hunger and
malnutrition and to encourage economic development in the developing
countries.
The Corporation encourages U.S. financial institutions to provide
financing to developing countries under the Export Credit Guarantee
Programs. The Foreign Agricultural Service Administers the programs
under titles I and II of Public Law 480 (7 U.S.C. 1701, 1721) and the
Export Credit and Guarantee Programs.

Foreign Agricultural Service
The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has primary responsibility for
USDA's overseas market information, access, and development programs.
It also administers USDA's export assistance and foreign food
assistance programs. The Service carries out its tasks through its
network of agricultural counselors, attache 1s, and trade officers
stationed overseas and its U.S.-based team of analysts, marketing
specialists, negotiators, and other professionals.
The Foreign Agricultural Service maintains a worldwide agricultural
intelligence and reporting system through its attache 1 service. This
service consists of a team of more than 100 U.S. professional
agriculturalists posted at more than 60 American embassies around the
world. Their areas of responsibility encompass approximately 110
countries. They represent the Department of Agriculture and provide
information and data on foreign government agricultural policies,
analyses of supply and demand conditions, commercial trade
relationships, and market opportunities. They report on more than 100
farm commodities, weather, economic factors, and related subjects that
affect agriculture and agricultural trade.
At FAS in Washington, DC, agricultural economists and marketing
specialists analyze these and other reports. These analyses are supp
lemented by accumulated background information and by the Crop
Condition Assessment system, which analyzes Landsat satellite,
weather, and other data.
To improve access for U.S. farm products abroad, FAS' international
trade policy specialists coordinate and direct USDA's responsibilities
in international trade agreement programs and negotiations. They
maintain an ongoing effort to reduce foreign trade barriers and
practices that discourage the export of U.S. farm products.
To follow foreign governmental actions that affect the market for U.S.
agricultural commodities, FAS relies on its agricultural counselors
and attache 1s. In Washington, a staff of international trade
specialists analyzes the trade policies and practices of foreign
governments to ensure conduct in conformance with international treaty
obligations. During international negotiations, FAS provides staff and
support for U.S. agricultural representation.
The FAS Trade Assistance and Planning Office, established in November
1988, serves agricultural exporters who need foreign market
information, as well as those believed to have been injured by unfair
trade practices. In addition, the Office coordinates reports on
long-term trade strategy, foreign agricultural export assistance, and
market opportunities for U.S. agricultural exports.
The Service has a continuing market development program to create,
service, and expand commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural
products. It carries out programs with nonprofit commodity groups
called Cooperators, trade associations, and State agriculture
departments and their regional associations. It manages market
opportunity referral services and organizes trade fairs and sales teams.
The Service's Office of the General Sales Manager also oversees
agricultural functions under the Public Law 480 Food for Peace
Program, title I (7 U.S.C. 1701); section 416(b) of the Agricultural
Act of 1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431); the Commodity Credit Corporation's (CCC)
Export Credit Guarantee Programs; several other export assistance
programs; and direct sales of Corporation-owned surplus commodities.
The Service also participates in the Public Law 480 donations program,
title II, which is administered by the Agency for International
Development (AID). Public Law 480 is aimed at long-range improvement
in the economies of developing countries. As a result of the Food,
Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, USDA has the entire
responsibility for title I; AID has total responsibility for title
III; and the two agencies share responsibility for title II.
Title I, the concessional sales section of Public Law 480, provides
for low-interest, long-term credit to recipients of U.S. farm
commodities. Payment is generally made in dollars, and proceeds from
sales into commercial channels are used by the recipient country for
agricultural self-help measures and general economic development.
Title II of Public Law 480 authorizes the donation of agricultural
commodities to foreign governments, voluntary relief agencies, or
intergovernmental organizations. The commodities are donated for use
abroad in meeting famine or other urgent or extraordinary relief
requirements, economic development, and school lunch programs in
developing areas.
Section 416(b) authorizes CCC to donate its commodities overseas.
Certain sales and barter of the commodities are also authorized. The
program functions are shared between USDA and AID. The Commodity
Credit Corporation has the responsibility for determining the types
and quantities of products for programming and for making funds
available in any fiscal year for programming and related specific
expenditures. Program proposals must be approved by the appropriate
interagency groups. In addition, section 416(b) also is a source of
funding for multiyear Food for Progress Development Programs. These
programs are focused on agricultural policy changes and private-sector
promotions.
The Commodity Credit Corporation Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-102) and
the Intermediate Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-103) Programs encourage
the development or expansion of overseas markets for U.S. agricultural
commodities by providing guarantees on private financing of U.S.
exports to foreign buyers purchasing on credit terms.
The foreign buyer contracts for the purchase of U.S. commodities on a
deferred-payment basis of 3 years or less under GSM 102, or between 3
and 10 years under GSM 103. The foreign buyer's bank issues a letter
of credit to guarantee payment to the U.S. exporter or an assignee
U.S. lending institution. To receive the payment guarantee, the
exporter registers the sale with CCC prior to export and pays a
guarantee fee. The payment guarantee is implemented only if the
foreign bank fails to pay the exporter or the assignee U.S. lending
institution.
The Corporation considers coverage on sales of any U.S. agricultural
commodity that has the potential of expanding U.S. export markets. A
U.S. exporter, private foreign buyer, or foreign government may submit
requests that may result in authorized guarantee coverage.
Several export assistance programs are designed to counter or offset
the adverse effects from competitors' unfair trade practices on U.S.
agriculture. These programs include the Export Enhancement Program
(EEP), the Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP), the Sunflowerseed
Oil Assistance Program (SOAP), and the Cottonseed Oil Assistance
Program (COAP).
Under EEP, USDA provides Corporation-owned commodities or cash as
export bonuses to make U.S. commodities more competitive in the world
marketplace. The DEIP and EEP programs are similar, but EEP is
restricted to dairy products. The SOAP and COAP programs are also like
EEP, except bonuses provided to U.S. exporters are crude sunflowerseed
oil and cottonseed oil rather than CCC certificates.
The Foreign Agriculture Service is also responsible for sales of
Corporation-owned surplus commodities to private trade, foreign
government, and nonprofit organizations. Direct sales may be
negotiated on a case-by-case basis and on a cash or credit basis. The
only criteria for financing direct sales are a 3-year maximum credit
plan and the arrangement of suitable payment terms.
Another program authorized by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and
Trade Act of 1990 is the Market Promotion Program, formerly known as
Targeted Export Assistance (TEA). The Market Promotion Program
provides assistance in the form of cash or commodities to trade
promotion organizations to help fund their market development
activities overseas, particularly in those markets where the United
States encounters unfair trade practices by foreign competitors or
importers.
For further information, contact the Information Staff, Foreign
Agricultural Service, Deparment of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250.
Phone, 202 447 3448.
Office of International Cooperation and Development
The mission of the Office of International Cooperation and Development
(OICD) is helping other USDA agencies, U.S. universities, and others
enhance America's agricultural competitiveness globally; and
increasing income and food availability in developing nations by
mobilizing expertise for agriculturally led economic growth.
OICD programs enhance U.S. agriculture's competitiveness by providing
U.S. agriculturalists and scientists with linkages to world resources.
These linkages often produce new germplasm and technologies that can
be vital to improving our currect agricultural base and producing new
and alternative products. They also foster relationships and
understandings that result in trade opportunities and strengthened
strategic and political ties.
The Office also serves as a link between the technical expertise of
the U.S. agricultural community and Third World nations. By sharing
agricultural knowledge with less-developed nations, the United States
provides tools to help build stable economies and a more prosperous
world. In the process, less- developed nations overcome the barriers
of hunger and poverty and gain the economic means to buy needed goods
and services in the world marketplace.
To accomplish its dual mission, OICD manages programs to exchange
visits, germplasm, and technologies between U.S. and international
scientists; supports collaborative research projects of mutual
interest to the United States and other nations; taps the U.S.
agricultural community to provide technical assistance and
professional development and training programs to assist economic
development in lower-income nations; serves as U.S. liaison with
international organizations; and organizes overseas trade and
investment missions.
These activities serve the needs of other USDA agencies, the Agency
for International Development, other public and private institutions,
foreign nations, development banks, and the U.S. university and
agricultural communities.

Forest Service
[For the Forest Service statement of organization, see the Code of
Federal Regulations, Title 36, Part 200.1]
The Forest Service was created by the Transfer Act of February 1, 1905
(16 U.S.C. 472), which transferred the Federal forest reserves and the
responsibility for their management from the Department of the
Interior to the Department of Agriculture. The forest reserves were
established by the President from the public domain under authority of
the Creative Act of March 3, 1891 (26 Stat. 1103). The protection and
development of the reserves (which became the national forests in
1907) are governed by the Organic Act of June 4, 1897, as amended (16
U.S.C. 473 478); the Multiple Use-Sustained Yield Act of June 12, 1960
(16 U.S.C. 528 531); the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources
Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 1601 1610); and the National Forest
Management Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2947). The Weeks Law of March 1,
1911, as amended (16 U.S.C. 480), allowed the Government to purchase
and exchange land for national forests.
Objectives The Forest Service has the Federal responsibility for
national leadership in forestry. Its mission is to provide a
continuing flow of natural resource goods and services to help meet
the needs of the Nation and to contribute to the needs of the
international community. To accomplish this, it has adopted the
following objectives:
to provide a sustained flow of renewable resources outdoor
recreation, forage, wood, water, wilderness, wildlife, and fish in a
combination that best meets the needs of society now and in the
future;
to administer the nonrenewable resources of the National Forest
System to help meet the Nation's needs for energy and mineral
resources;
to promote a healthy and productive environment for the Nation's
forests and rangelands;
to develop and make available scientific and technological
capabilities to advance renewable natural resource management, use,
and protection; and
to further natural resource conservation through cooperation with
other Federal agencies and State and local governments.
National Forest System The Service manages 156 national forests, 19
national grasslands, and 15 land utilization projects on 191 million
acres in 44 States, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico under the
principles of multiple-use and sustained yield. The Nation's
tremendous need for wood and paper products is balanced with the other
vital, renewable resources or benefits that the national forests and
grasslands provide: recreation and natural beauty, wildlife habitat,
livestock forage, and water supplies. The guiding principle is the
greatest good to the greatest number in the long run.
These lands are protected as much as possible from wildfire, epidemics
of disease and insect pests, erosion, floods, and water and air
pollution. Burned areas get emergency seeding treatment to prevent
massive erosion and stream siltation. Roads and trails are built where
needed to allow for closely regulated timber harvesting and to give
the public access to outdoor recreation areas and provide scenic
drives and hikes. Picnic, camping, water-sport, skiing, and other
areas are provided with facilities for public convenience and
enjoyment. Timber harvesting methods are used that will protect the
land and streams, assure rapid renewal of the forest, provide food and
cover for wildlife and fish, and have minimum impact on scenic and
recreation values. Local communities benefit from the logging and
milling activities. These lands also provide needed oil, gas, and
minerals. Rangelands are improved for millions of livestock and game
animals. The national forests provide a refuge for many species of
endangered birds, animals, and fish. Some 32 million acres are set
aside as wilderness and 175,000 acres as primitive areas where timber
will not be harvested.
Cooperation With the States The Service provides national leadership
and financial and technical assistance to non-Federal forest
landowners, operators, processors of forest products, and urban
forestry interests. Through its cooperative State and private forestry
programs, the Service protects and improves the quality of air, water,
soil, and open space and encourages uses of natural resources on
non-Federal lands that best meet the needs of the Nation, while
protecting the environment.
Cooperative programs are carried out through the State foresters or
equivalent State officials, who receive grant funding under the
Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2101).
Cooperators at the State and local level provide the delivery system
for most State and private forestry programs.
Grant funds and technical assistance are available for rural forestry
assistance, forestry incentives, insect and disease control, urban
forestry assistance, rural fire prevention and control, organization
management assistance, State forest resource planning, and technology
implementation.
The Service also cooperates with the Soil Conservation Service, the
Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, and other USDA
agencies in providing leadership and technical assistance for the
forestry aspects of conservation programs.
State and private forestry also is responsible for ensuring that the
Service and its cooperators keep abreast of the best knowledge and
technology in carrying out its programs, and helping to develop
technology transfer plans for implementing research results for a
broad range of potential users.
Forest Research The Service carries on basic research throughout the
country, often in cooperation with State agricultural colleges, under
the authority of the McSweeney-McNary act of May 22, 1928, as amended
and supplemented (45 Stat. 699). Research is carried on in all the
fields previously mentioned in addition to many others including
genetics, nutrition, improved methods of harvesting, prevention,
detection, and mapping of lightning fires, better processing methods
for forest products, and environmental improvement.
Human Resource Programs The Service operates the Youth Conservation
Corps and the Volunteers in the National Forests programs and
participates with the Department of Labor on several human resource
programs that involve the Nation's citizens, both young and old, in
forestry-related activities. Included in these programs are the Job
Corps and the Senior Community Service Employment Program. These
programs annually accomplish millions of dollars worth of conservation
work, while providing participants with such benefits as training,
paid employment, and meaningful outdoor experience.

Natural Resources and Environment
Soil Conservation Service
[For the Soil Conservation Service statement of organization, see the
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 7, Parts 600 and 601]
The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) was established under authority of
the Soil Conservation Act of 1935 (16 U.S.C. 590a-f). It has
responsibility for developing and carrying out a national soil and
water conservation program in cooperation with landowners and
operators and other land users and developers, with community planning
agencies and regional resource groups, and with other Federal, State,
and local government agencies. The Service also assists in
agricultural pollution control, environmental improvement, and rural
community development.
The soil and water conservation program is carried on through
technical help to locally organized and operated conservation
districts; local sponsors of watershed protection projects and
resource conservation and development projects; and consultative
assistance to other individuals and groups. About 3,000 conservation
districts cover more than 2 billion acres in the 50 States, Guam,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
Conservation Operations The Service provides technical assistance
through conservation districts to landowners and operators in carrying
out locally adapted soil and water conservation programs.
Technical assistance is given to district cooperators and other
landowners in the development of conservation plans and application of
conservation treatment. Assistance to district cooperators
(individuals and communities) includes: providing a soil map and other
resource data; providing information about practical alternatives for
treating and using the land; developing a plan for installing the
treatment measures and making the land use changes needed; and helping
to apply parts of the plan that require special skills or knowledge.
In response to the President's Water Quality Initiative, the Service
is carrying out, in cooperation with other Federal and State agencies,
a 5-year plan to direct its activities relative to water quality and
quantity. Elements addressed in this plan include program application,
technology development, information and education, and evaluation and
assessment. The implementation of the plan will focus on the expansion
and improvement of technical assistance utilizing the agency's
extensive field delivery system through local soil and water
conservation districts. A major part of the assistance required by SCS
to implement the USDA's Water Quality Initiative is provided through
conservation operations.
Soil surveys are made to determine soil use potentials and
conservation treatment needs, and publication of soil surveys with
interpretations useful to cooperators, other Federal agencies, and
State and local organizations. One important basis for conservation
planning is the National Cooperative Soil Survey for which SCS has the
Federal part of the responsibility. The work is carried out in
cooperation with State agricultural experiment stations and other
State and Federal agencies.
Plant materials centers are operated to assemble, test, and encourage
increased use of promising plant species in conservation programs; and
snow surveys in the Western States are made to develop water supply
forecasts.
Under the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 (16 U.S.C.
2001), the Service is responsible for appraising the status and
condition of soil, water, and related resources and trends in their
use; designing long-range conservation programs with the aid of local
soil conservation districts and the public; and evaluating progress in
meeting conservation needs. The Service's inventory and monitoring
data are used at all governmental levels for conservation, use and
development of land, and for protecting environmental quality. The
Service also helps prepare maps showing the location of important
farmlands, usually on a county basis.
Under the Food Security Act of 1985 and the Food, Agriculture,
Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, the Service helps producers
determine if their cropland or potential cropland is highly erodible,
wetland, wetland on which the conversion would result in minimal
effect, or converted wetland. Service field staffs assist producers in
preparing conservation compliance plans and installing appropriate
conservation systems so that eligibility for USDA program benefits is
maintained.
River Basin Surveys and Investigations The Service, along with the
Economic Research Service and Forest Service, cooperates with other
Federal, State, and local agencies in studying the watersheds of
rivers and other waterways. These studies include:
cooperative river basin surveys, which serve as a basis for
developing coordinated water resource programs;
flood plain management studies, which furnish technical data,
assistance, and information for State and local governments to use in
flood plain management programs;
joint investigations and reports with the Department of the Army in
accordance with Pub. L. 87 639 (16 U.S.C. 1009); and
interagency coordination.
Watershed Planning The Service has general responsibility for
administration of activities consisting of investigations and surveys
of proposed small watershed projects in response to requests made by
sponsoring local organizations, and for assisting sponsors in the
development of watershed plans.
Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations The Service has general
responsibility for administration of activities that include
cooperation with local sponsors, State, and other public agencies in
the installation of planned works of improvement to reduce erosion,
floodwater, and sediment damage; conserve, develop, utilize, and
dispose of water; plan and install works of improvement for flood
prevention including the development of recreational facilities and
the improvement of fish and wildlife habitat; and loans to local
organizations to help finance the local share of the cost of carrying
out planned watershed and flood prevention works of improvement. The
Farmers Home Administration administers the loan program.
The Service also has responsibility for carrying out emergency
watershed protection under section 403 of the Agricultural Credit Act
of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2203).
Great Plains Conservation Program The Service has general
responsibility for administration of the program designed to promote
conservation and greater agricultural stability in the Great Plains
area. Activities include cost-sharing of conservation practices under
3- to 10-year contracts with farmers and ranchers in designated
counties of the 10 Great Plains States, and technical services to help
make needed land use adjustments and install conservation measures
specified in conservation plans in accordance with contract
schedules.
Resource Conservation and Development Program The Service has general
responsibility for administering the program designed to assist local
government units in accelerating planning and development of land and
water resources in multiple county areas. Projects include work for
such things as erosion control, flood prevention, farm irrigation,
fish and wildlife facilities, agriculture-related pollutant control,
and water quality. Plans also are directed toward improving recreation
facilities, including historic and scenic attractions; encouraging new
industries to locate in the area and to process products of the area;
improving markets for crop and livestock products; upgrading and
protecting the quality of the environment; and long-range planning to
coordinate public efforts in the area.
Activities include investigations and surveys to help develop programs
and plans of land conservation and utilization, technical services and
financial assistance to sponsors, local groups, and individuals, and
making loans for resource improvements and developments in approved
projects. The Farmers Home Administration administers the loans.
Rural Abandoned Mine Program The Service has USDA leadership for
administration of the program to assist land users in reclaiming
abandoned or inadequately reclaimed coal-mined lands and water,
provided there is no continuing reclamation responsibility on the part
of the mine operator, permit holder, or agent. The program provides
cost-sharing aid ranging from 25 to 100 percent, as well as technical
assistance to land users, under contracts of 5 to 10 years. The goal
is to reclaim, conserve, and develop unreclaimed coal lands that
adversely affect people or their environment.
Other Programs The Service gives technical help to the Farmers Home
Administration in making soil and water conservation loans to
landowners and operators and assists landowners and operators in
developing recreation areas and facilities on private land.
Participants in the Agricultural Conservation Program, Rural Clean
Water Program, Conservation Reserve Program, Colorado River Salinity
Control Program, and the Water Bank Program are provided with
technical assistance by the Service. Under these programs, it provides
technical assistance in developing conservation plans that are the
basis of long-term agreements between the Department and landowners
and operators. The Service assists in the design, layout, and
certification of some conservation practices installed under these
programs.

Bureau of the Census
[For the Bureau of the Census statement of organization, see the
Federal Register of Sept. 16, 1975, 40 FR 42765]
The Bureau of the Census was established as a permanent office by act
of March 6, 1902 (32 Stat. 51). The major functions of the Bureau are
authorized by the Constitution, which provides that a census of
population shall be taken every 10 years, and by laws codified as
title 13 of the United States Code. The law also provides that the
information collected by the Bureau from individual persons,
households, or establishments be kept strictly confidential and be
used only for statistical purposes.
The Bureau is a general purpose, statistical agency that collects,
tabulates, and publishes a wide variety of statistical data about the
people and the economy of the Nation. These data are utilized by the
Congress, by the executive branch, and by the public generally in the
development and evaluation of economic and social programs.
In addition to its headquarters at Suitland, MD, the Bureau includes a
Data Preparation Division at Jeffersonville, IN, a Personal Census
Service Branch at Pittsburg, KS, and 12 regional offices.
The principal functions of the Bureau include:
decennial censuses of population and housing;
quinquennial censuses of agriculture, State and local governments,
manufacturers, mineral industries, distributive trades, construction
industries, and transportation;
current surveys that provide information on many of the subjects
covered in the censuses at monthly, quarterly, annual, or other
intervals;
compilation of current statistics on U.S. foreign trade, including
data on imports, exports, and shipping;
special censuses at the request and expense of States and local
government units;
publication of estimates and projections of the population;
current data on population and housing characteristics; and
current reports on manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade,
services, construction, imports and exports, State and local
government finances and employment, and other subjects.
The Bureau makes available statistical results of its censuses,
surveys, and other programs to the public through printed reports,
computer tape, CD ROM's, microfiche, and other media and prepares
special tabulations sponsored and paid for by data users. It also
produces statistical compendia, catalogs, guides, and directories that
are useful in locating information on specific subjects. Upon request,
the Bureau makes searches of decennial census records and furnishes
certificates to individuals for use as evidence of age, relationship,
or place of birth. A fee is charged for such searches.

Bureau of Economic Analysis
[For the Bureau of Economic Analysis statement of organization, see
the Federal Register of Dec. 29, 1980, 45 FR 85496]
The Bureau of Economic Analysis, formerly the Office of Business
Economics, was established by the Secretary of Commerce on December 1,
1953, and operates under authorities contained in Department
Organization Order No. 35 1A.
The goal of the Bureau is to provide a clear picture of the U.S.
economy through the preparation, development, and interpretation of
the national income and product accounts, summarized by the gross
national product; the wealth accounts, which show the business and
other components of the national wealth; the input-output accounts,
which trace the interrelationships among industrial markets; other
national economic accounts within the framework of the system of
national accounts; personal income and related economic series by
geographic area; the balance-of-payments accounts and associated
foreign investment accounts; and measures relating to environmental
change within the framework of the national economic accounts.
The work on the national economic accounts is supplemented by the
preparation and analysis of other measures of economic activity,
including various tools for forecasting economic developments such as
surveys of investment outlays and a system of leading, coincident, and
lagging economic indicators. The data and analyses prepared by the
Bureau are disseminated primarily through its monthly Survey of
Current Business and other publications and associated computed
media.

Bureau of Export Administration
[For the Bureau of Export Administration statement of organization,
see the Federal Register of June 7, 1988, 53 FR 20881]
The Bureau of Export Administration was established as a separate
agency within the Department of Commerce on October 1, 1987, to
separate the functions of export promotion and export control as
mandated by the Export Administration Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. app.
2401 et seq.).
The Bureau is headed by the Under Secretary for Export Administration.
The Under Secretary coordinates all matters related to the mission of
BXA, which is to direct the Nation's export control policy. Major
functions include processing license applications, conducting foreign
availability studies to determine when products should be
decontrolled, and enforcing U.S. export control laws.
Export Administration The Assistant Secretary for Export
Administration oversees export licensing, technology and policy
analysis, and foreign availability determinations. These
responsibilities are linked to the Administration's objectives of
reducing processing times for granting export licenses, decontrolling
those technologies that offer no real threat to U.S. security, and
eliminating unilateral controls in areas where widespread foreign
availability exists. This office also works with our allies in pushing
for stronger, more uniform ways of controlling strategic exports.
Export Enforcement The Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement
investigates breaches of U.S. export control laws and analyzes export
intelligence to assess diversion risks. In addition, this office
administers and enforces the antiboycott provisions of the Export
Administration Act.

Economic Development Administration
[For the Economic Development Administration statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 13, Part 301,
Subpart C]
The Economic Development Administration was established under the
Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3121), to
generate new jobs, to help protect existing jobs, and to stimulate
commercial and industrial growth in economically distressed areas of
the United States. Assistance is available in rural and urban areas of
the Nation experiencing high unemployment, low income levels, or
sudden and severe economic distress. The basic programs include:
public works grants to public and private nonprofit organizations and
Indian tribes to help build or expand public facilities essential to
industrial and commercial growth. Typical projects are industrial
parks, access roads, water and sewer lines, and port and airport
terminal developments;
loan guarantees to industrial and commercial firms. Proceeds from the
loans may be used for working capital to maintain and expand
operations or for fixed assets such as purchase of land, construction
of plants, and the purchase of machinery and equipment;
technical assistance and grants to enable communities and firms to
find solutions to problems that stifle economic growth. Under the
technical assistance program, funds are used for studies to determine
the economic feasibility of resource development to establish jobs and
to provide on-the-scene assistance to help businesses overcome a wide
range of management and technical problems through university
centers;
planning grants to States, cities, districts, and Indian reservations
to help pay for the expertise needed to plan, implement, and
coordinate comprehensive economic development programs; and
special economic adjustment assistance to help State and local
governments in solving recent and anticipated severe adjustment
problems, resulting in abrupt and serious job losses, and to help
areas implement strategies to reverse and halt long-term economic
deterioration.

[For the International Trade Administration statement of organization,
see the Federal Register of Jan. 25, 1980, 45 FR 6148]
The International Trade Administration was established on January 2,
1980, by the Secretary of Commerce to promote world trade and to
strengthen the international trade and investment position of the
United States.
The Administration is headed by the Under Secretary for International

international economic policy and programs, and trade development. It
is responsible for nonagricultural trade operations of the U.S.
Government and supports the trade policy negotiation efforts of the
U.S. Trade Representative. The Office of the Under Secretary includes
a Deputy Under Secretary and the Director of Administration, who is
responsible for providing administrative management and support
services for the Administration. The Office also includes the Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Planning who is responsible for international
trade policy planning and interdepartmental coordination. The Under
Secretary is assisted by three Assistant Secretaries and the Director
General of the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service.
International Economic Policy The Assistant Secretary for
International Economic Policy advises on the analysis, formulation,
and implementation of international economic policies of a bilateral,
multilateral, or regional nature. Reporting to the Assistant Secretary
are five Deputy Assistant Secretaries (for Europe; the Western
Hemisphere; East Asia and the Pacific; Africa, the Near East and South
Asia; and Japan) who have responsibility for trade and investment
issues with particular countries and regions of the world. These
officials maintain in-depth commercial and economic information on the
countries and regions for which they are responsible. In addition,
there is a Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Economic
Policy who has responsibility for multilateral affairs and for overall
policy coordination.

Economic Community Arrangement and 19 other steel trade arrangements
under the President's policy for the steel industry; the machine tool
arrangements with Japan and Taiwan under the President's Machine Tool
Program; the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement; and the U.S.-Canada
Memorandum of Understanding on Softwood Lumber. The Administration
plays a leading role in Federal efforts to improve functioning of the
GATT antidumping code. The Assistant Secretary also ensures the proper
administration of foreign trade zones and advises the Secretary on
establishment of new zones; and administers programs governing the
importation of strategic industrial resources, watch assemblies, and
other statutory import programs.
Trade Development The Assistant Secretary for Trade Development
advises on international trade and investment policies pertaining to
U.S. industrial sectors, carries out programs to strengthen domestic
export competitiveness, and promotes U.S. industry's increased
participation in international markets. The Assistant Secretary
manages an integrated Trade Development Program that includes policy
development, industry analysis, and promotion organized by the
following U.S. industry sectors: aerospace, automotive affairs and
consumer goods, basic industries, capital goods and international
construction, science and electronics, services, and textiles and
apparel.
The Assistant Secretary:
provides support for sectoral aspects of the Multilateral Trade
Negotiations and obtains industry's views of trade policy issues
through 17 industry-sector advisory committees;
gathers, analyzes, and disseminates trade information;
reports on foreign investment in the United States;
serves as the Department's primary source of information and analysis
on U.S. industrial sectors; and
promotes the formation of export trading companies and issues
certificates of review providing them with limited exemption from
liability under the antitrust laws.
U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service The Assistant Secretary and
Director General of the U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service develops,
produces, markets, and manages an effective line of high-quality
products and services geared to the marketing information needs of the
U.S. exporting and international business community and manages the

overseas trade seminars, and other promotional events; promotes U.S.
products and services throughout the world market; conducts
conferences and seminars in the United States; assists State and
private-sector organizations on export financing; and promotes the

Minority Business Development Agency
[For the Minority Business Development Agency statement of
organization, see the Federal Register of Mar. 17, 1972, 37 FR 5650,
as amended]
The Minority Business Development Agency, formerly the Office of
Minority Business Enterprise, was established by the Secretary of
Commerce on November 1, 1979, and operates under the authority of
Executive Order 11625 of October 13, 1971. The Agency develops and
coordinates a national program for minority business enterprise.
The Agency was created to assist minority business in achieving
effective and equitable participation in the American free enterprise
system and in overcoming social and economic disadvantages that have
limited their participation in the past. The Agency provides national
policies and leadership in forming and strengthening a partnership of
business, industry, and government with the Nation's minority
businesses.
Management and technical assistance is provided to minority firms on
request, primarily through a network of minority business development
centers funded by the Agency. Specialized business assistance is
available to minority firms or potential entrepreneurs.
The Agency promotes and coordinates the efforts of other Federal
agencies in assisting or providing market opportunities for minority
business, primarily through its affiliate network of Minority Business
Development Centers. It coordinates opportunities for minority firms
in the private sector. Through such public and private cooperative
activities, the Agency promotes the participation of Federal, State,
and local governments, and business and industry in directing
resources for the development of strong minority businesses. The
Agency also operates an Information Clearinghouse for catalogs,
publications, and other information for and about the Nation's
minority businesses.
The Minority Business Development Agency conducts most of its
activities through its six Regional Offices (Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas,
New York, San Francisco, Washington) and four District Offices.

Phone, 202 377 2985
[For the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration statement of
organization, see the Federal Register of Feb. 13, 1978, 43 FR 6128]
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was formed on
October 3, 1970, by Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.).
Its principal functions are authorized by title 15, chapter 9, United
States Code (National Weather Service); title 33, chapter 17, United
States Code (National Ocean Survey); and title 16, chapter 9, United
States Code (National Marine Fisheries Service). The Administration's
mission was further defined by the Coastal Zone Management Act of
1972; the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972; the Marine Protection,
Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended; the Weather
Modification Reporting Act of 1972; the Endangered Species Act of
1973; the Offshore Shrimp Fisheries Act of 1973; the Fishery
Conservation and Management Act of 1976; and the Land Remote Sensing
Act of 1984.
The Administration's mission is to explore, map, and chart the global
ocean and its living resources and to manage, use, and conserve those
resources; to describe, monitor, and predict conditions in the
atmosphere, ocean, Sun, and space environment; to issue warnings
against impending destructive natural events; to assess the
consequences of inadvertent environmental modification over several
scales of time; and to manage and disseminate long-term environmental
information.
Among its principal activities, the Administration reports the weather
of the United States and its possessions and provides weather
forecasts to the general public; issues warnings against such
destructive natural events as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and
tsunamis; and provides services in support of aviation, marine
activities, agriculture, forestry, urban air-quality control, and
other weather-sensitive activities. The Administration also monitors
and reports all non-Federal weather modification activities conducted
in the United States.
The Administration conducts an integrated program of management,
research, and services related to the protection and rational use of
living marine resources and their habitats, and protects marine
mammals and endangered marine species. It prepares and issues nautical
and aeronautical charts, provides the Nation's precise geodetic
surveys, and conducts broad research programs in marine and
atmospheric sciences, solar-terrestrial physics, and experimental
meteorology, including weather modification. The Administration also
predicts tides, currents, and the state of the oceans; conducts
research and development aimed at providing alternatives to ocean
dumping; and develops sound national policies in the areas of ocean
mining and energy. It provides Federal leadership in promoting wise
and balanced management of the Nation's coastal zone.
In addition, the Administration provides satellite observations of the
environment by operating a national environmental satellite system;
and conducts an integrated program of research and services relating
to the oceans and inland waters, the lower and upper atmosphere, space
environment, and the Earth to increase understanding of the
geophysical environment. It acquires, stores, and disseminates
worldwide environmental data through a system of meteorological,
oceanographic, geodetic, and seismological data centers.
The Administration also administers and directs the oceanic research
programs by providing grants to institutions for marine research,
education, and advisory services; develops a system of data buoys for
automatically obtaining and disseminating marine environmental data;
and promotes the development of technology to meet future needs of the
marine community.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)
was established in 1978 in response to Executive Order 12046 of March
27, 1978.
The reorganization that accompanied this Executive order combined
within NTIA the resources of the Office of Telecommunications of the
Commerce Department and the Office of Telecommunications Policy from
the Executive Office of the President. It thus provided a broad
national role in telecommunication and information issues for the
Department of Commerce.
The broad goals of NTIA include formulating policies to support the
development and growth of telecommunications, information, and related
industries; furthering the efficient development and use of
telecommunications and information services; providing policy and
management for Federal use of the electromagnetic spectrum; and
providing telecommunications facilities grants to public service
users.

Patent and Trademark Office
[For the Patent and Trademark Office statement of organization, see
the Federal Register of Apr. 14, 1975, 40 FR 16707]
The patent system was established by Congress ``. . . to promote the
progress of . . . the useful arts. . .'' under Article I, section 8,
U.S. Constitution (see also title 35 United States Code, Patents; and
title 15 United States Code, chapter 22, Trademarks). Patents are
granted and trademarks are registered by the Patent and Trademark
Office.
The Office examines applications for three kinds of patents: design
patents (issued for 14 years), plant patents, and utility patents
(issued for 17 years). Also, the Office issues Statutory Invention
Registrations, which have the defensive but not the enforceable
attributes of a patent. It also processes international applications
for patents under the provisions of the Patent Cooperation Treaty,
including, as of July 1, 1986, the examination provisions of chapter
II of the Treaty.
About 97,000 patents were issued for fiscal year 1990 that provide
inventors with exclusive rights to the results of their creative
efforts. Patents may be reviewed and searched in the Office and in
over 69 public libraries around the country. The patent system is
intended to promote incentives to invent, to invest in research and
development, to commercialize new technology, and to make public
inventions that would otherwise go unnoticed.
About 64,000 trademarks were registered for fiscal year 1990, and 7
,100 trademark registrations were renewed. A trademark includes any
distinctive word, name, symbol, device, or any combination thereof
adopted and used, or intended to be used, by a manufacturer or
merchant to identify his goods or services and distinguish them from
those manufactured or sold by others. Trademarks, registered for 10
years, with renewal rights of equal term, are examined by the Office
for compliance with various statutory requirements to prevent unfair
competition and consumer deception.
In addition to the examination of patent and trademark applications,
issuance of patents, and registration of trademarks, the Patent and
Trademark Office:
sells printed copies of issued patents and trademark registrations;
records and indexes documents transferring ownership;
maintains a scientific library and search files containing over 30
million documents, including U.S. and foreign patents and U.S.
trademarks;
provides search rooms for the public to research their applications;
hears and decides appeals from prospective inventors and trademark
applicants;
participates in legal proceedings involving the issue of patents or
registration of trademarks;
helps represent the United States in international efforts to
cooperate on patent and trademark policy;
compiles the Official Gazettes a weekly notice of patents issued and
trademarks registered by the Office, including other information; and
maintains a roster of patent agents and attorneys qualified and
recognized to practice before the Office.

National Institute of Standards and Technology
Headquarters: Gaithersburg, MD (Route I 270 and Quince Orchard Road)
Mailing address: Gaithersburg, MD 20899
Phone, 301 975 2000
[For the National Institute of Standards and Technology statement of
organization, see the Federal Register of Apr. 13, 1978, 43 FR 15473]
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), founded in
1901 as the National Bureau of Standards, was renamed in 1988 by the
Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act and directed specifically to
assist industry in developing technology to improve product quality;
to modernize manufacturing processes; to ensure product reliability;
and to facilitate rapid commercialization of products based on new
scientific discoveries.
This explicit mission builds on a long-standing agency responsibility
to both assist industry and to develop, maintain, and retain custody
of the national standards of measurement. As a nonregulatory agency of
the Department's Technology Administration, NIST aids U.S. industry
through research and services; carries out selected programs in public
health and safety and environmental improvement; and supports the U.S.
scientific and engineering research communities through fundamental
research.
As a world-class center for physical science and engineering research,
NIST develops generic technology and measurement techniques and
standards. NIST researchers work at the frontiers of science and
technology in such areas as chemical science and technology, physics,
materials science and engineering, electronics and electrical
engineering, manufacturing engineering, computer systems, building
technology and fire safety, and computing and applied mathematics.
The Institute has been a valuable behind-the-scenes partner to
industry, providing many of the tools U.S. businesses need to compete
in the marketplace. Several new NIST programs have been set up to spur
innovation and accelerate the adoption of new ideas and technology by
U.S. companies. For example, the Advanced Technology Program provides
seed money to help U.S. businesses conduct research on precompetitive,
generic technologies with high commercial potential. Through its
regional Manufacturing Technology Centers, NIST provides technical and
financial support to nonprofit centers that assist small- and
medium-sized companies in gaining expertise with new manufacturing
technologies.
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, managed by NIST in
cooperation with the private sector, encourages industry to improve
quality. Established by Congress in 1987, the award recognizes U.S.
companies that excel in quality achievement and total quality
management. The award promotes awareness of quality as an increasingly
important element in competitiveness, understanding requirements for
quality excellence, and sharing information on successful quality strategies.
To further aid businesses in building a competitive advantage, NIST
makes available at its headquarters in Gaithersburg, MD, and its site
in Boulder, CO, research and testing facilities for cooperative and
proprietary work. A 20-megawatt research reactor with a cold neutron
facility, a metals processing laboratory, an automated manufacturing
research facility, and a computer network and security facility are
some of the facilities made available by NIST.

National Technical Information Service
[For the National Technical Information Service statement of
organization, see the Federal Register of May 5, 1976, 41 FR 18538]
As a cornerstone of the technology information publishing structure in
the United States, the National Technical Information Service (NTIS)
is a key participant in the development, production, and dissemination
of advanced information products and services for the achievement of
U.S. productivity and international competitiveness goals for the
1990's. The Service provides access to U.S.- and foreign
government-sponsored research and development and applied engineering
studies. As the source for Government scientific and technical
information, NTIS each year announces 150,000 summaries of ongoing, as
well as completed, Government-sponsored research projects. These
summaries detail the knowledge and technology generated through those
projects funded by the U.S. Government's annual multibillion-dollar
research and development effort, as well as those funded by the
governments of leading developed countries.
In addition, NTIS provides the full text of the technical reports
resulting from most research activities; manages the Federal Computer
Products Center which provides access to software, data files, and
databases produced by Federal agencies; manages the Federal Software
Exchange Program for intragovernmental distribution; gives U.S. firms
access to more than 15,000 foreign government research and engineering
programs each year; and manages the Center for the Utilization of
Federal Technology (CUFT), which operates one of the most active
patent licensing programs in the Government and, with its directories
and catalogs, links U.S. firms to Federal laboratory contacts and
technologies. The Service is also the lead Government agency in
international research and development and technical information
exchange through agreements with dozens of organizations in such
leading industrialized nations as Japan, Great Britain, France, and
the Federal Republic of Germany, among others.
The NTIS information collection presently contains some 2 million
items, all of which are available for sale in print, microform,
audiovisual, and/or electronic format. The Service ships some 12,000
information products every day as technical reports and
Government-sponsored journals in paper and microfiche, as datafiles or
software on tape, diskette, or CD ROM, and a wide range of audiovisual
materials. All of these items are acquired, indexed, cataloged, and
announced by NTIS in a broad range of alerting journals, newsletters,
specialized bibliographies, annual indexes, and online databases.
Anyone seeking the latest Government research reports may search the
NTIS Bibliographic Database online using the services of organizations
that offer the database for public use. NTIS also has contractual
arrangements with several vendors to provide the database in CD ROM
format. Updated twice monthly, the NTIS database is also available to
organizations and agencies having substantial internal research and
development information needs by means of a direct lease from NTIS.
Another NTIS database, FEDRIP (Federal Research in Progress), also
available online through the private sector, provides status reports
and investigative information on current research funded by the
Government. The full text of all progress reports in FEDRIP is
searchable and printable only online, since there are no printed
counterpart publications.
Customers with well-defined, continuing interests subscribe to a
current awareness microfiche service, which enables them to receive
automatically the full text of reports relating to their unique,
custom-profiled information requirements.
The Service sells its information products and services under the
provisions of title 15, United States Code, which establishes NTIS as
a clearinghouse for scientific, technical, and engineering information
and directs it to be self-supporting. The cost of NTIS salaries,
marketing, printing, product distribution, and all associated
operating costs is recovered solely through sales income. An
information center and bookstore is located at the NTIS operations
center, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Phone, 703 487
4604; or Fax, 703 321 8547.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
The Department of Defense is responsible for providing the military
forces needed to deter war and protect the security of our country.
The major elements of these forces are the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Air Force, consisting of about 2.1 million men and women on active
duty. Of these, some 518,000 including about 67,000 on ships at sea
are serving outside the United States. They are backed, in case of
emergency, by the 1.7 million members of the reserve components. In
addition, there are about 1.1 million civilian employees in the
Defense Department.
Under the President, who is also Commander in Chief, the Secretary of
Defense exercises direction, authority, and control over the
Department, which includes the separately organized military
departments of Army, Navy, and Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff
providing military advice, the unified and specified combatant
commands, and various defense agencies established for specific purposes.
Every State in the Union has some defense activities. Central
headquarters of the Department is at the Pentagon, the ``world's
largest office building.''
The Department of Defense (DOD) is the successor agency to the
National Military Establishment created by the National Security Act
of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401). It was established as an executive department
of the Government by the National Security Act Amendments of 1949 with
the Secretary of Defense as its head (5 U.S.C. 101). Since that time,
many legislative and administrative changes have occurred, evolving
the Department into the structure under which it currently operates.
Structure
The Department of Defense is composed of the Office of the Secretary
of Defense; the military departments and the military services within
those departments; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the
Joint Staff; the unified and specified combatant commands; the Defense
agencies; DOD field activities; and such other offices, agencies,
activities, and commands as may be established or designated by law,
or by the President or the Secretary of Defense.
In providing immediate staff assistance and advice to the Secretary of
Defense, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Joint Staff, though separately
identified and organized, function in full coordination and
cooperation.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense includes the offices of the
Deputy Secretary of Defense; the Special Assistant to the Secretary
and the Deputy Secretary of Defense; the Executive Secretary of the
Department of Defense; the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense; the
Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Special Projects and White
House Fellow; the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition; the
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy; the Comptroller of the
Department of Defense; Assistant Secretaries of Defense; the General
Counsel; the Director of Defense Research and Engineering; the
Director of Operational Test and Evaluation; the Inspector General;
and such other staff offices as the Secretary of Defense establishes
to assist him in carrying out his duties and responsibilities. The
heads of these offices are staff advisers to the Secretary and perform
such functions as he assigns to them.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff consist of the Chairman; the Chief of
Staff, U.S. Army; the Chief of Naval Operations; the Chief of Staff,
U.S. Air Force; and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Supported,
subject to the authority of the Chairman, by the Joint Staff, they
constitute the immediate military staff of the Secretary of Defense.
The Chairman is the principal military adviser to the President, the
National Security Council, and the Secretary of Defense. The other
members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are the senior military officers
of their respective services and are military advisers to the
President, the National Security Council, and the Secretary of
Defense. The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs acts as Chairman when
there is a vacancy in the Office of the Chairman or in the absence or
disability of the Chairman.
Each military department (the Department of the Navy includes naval
aviation and the United States Marine Corps) is separately organized
under its own Secretary and functions under the direction, authority,
and control of the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of a military
department is responsible to the Secretary of Defense for the
operation and efficiency of his department. Orders to the military
departments are issued through the Secretaries of these departments,
or their designees, by the Secretary of Defense or under authority
specifically delegated in writing by the Secretary of Defense or
provided by law.
The commanders of unified and specified combatant commands are
responsible to the President and the Secretary of Defense for
accomplishing the military missions assigned to them and exercising
command authority over forces assigned to them. The operational chain
of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense to the
commanders of the unified and specified combatant commands. The
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff functions within the chain of
command by transmitting the orders of the President or the Secretary
of Defense to the commanders of the unified and specified combatant
commands.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
The American Continental Army, now called the United States Army, was
established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, more than a
year before the Declaration of Independence.
The mission of the Department of the Army is to organize, train, and
equip active duty and reserve forces for the preservation of peace,
security, and the defense of our nation. It serves as part of our
national military team, whose members include the Navy, Air Force,
Marines, and Coast Guard. The Army's mission focuses on land
operations; its soldiers must be trained with modern arms and
equipment and be ready to respond quickly.
The Army also administers programs aimed at protecting the
environment, improving waterway navigation, flood and beach erosion
control, and water resource development. It provides military
assistance to Federal, State, and local government agencies, including
natural disaster relief assistance.
The Department of War was established as an executive department at
the seat of government by act approved August 7, 1789. The Secretary
of War was established as its head, and his powers were those
entrusted to him by the President (10 U.S.C. 3012).
The National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401) created the National
Military Establishment, and the Department of War was designated the
Department of the Army. The title of its Secretary became Secretary of
the Army (5 U.S.C. 171).
The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 578)
established the Department of Defense as an executive department of
the Government and provided that the Department of the Army be a
military department within the Department of Defense.
The Army Organization Act (64 Stat. 263) provided the statutory basis
for the internal organization of the Army and the Department of the
Army. The act consolidated and revised the numerous earlier laws,
incorporated various adjustments made necessary by the National
Security Act of 1947 and other postwar enactments, and provided for
the organization of the Department of the Army in a single
comprehensive statute, with certain minor exceptions. In general, the
act followed the policy of vesting broad organizational powers in the
Secretary of the Army, subject to delegation by him, rather than
specifying duties of subordinate officers (10 U.S.C. 3012, 3062).
The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986
(10 U.S.C. 111 note) made significant changes within the Department of
Defense. The Department was reorganized to strengthen civilian
authority, to improve military advice to the President, to place clear
responsibility on the commanders of the unified and specified
combatant commands, and to provide a more efficient use of defense
resources.
Command of the Army is exercised by the President through the
Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army, who directly
represent him; and, under the law and decisions of the Supreme Court,
their acts are the President's acts, and their directions and orders
are the President's directions and orders.

Office of the Secretary of the Army
Secretary The Secretary of the Army is the head of the Department of
the Army. Subject to the direction, authority, and control of the
President as Commander in Chief and of the Secretary of Defense, the
Secretary of the Army is responsible for and has the authority to
conduct all affairs of the Department of the Army, including its
organization, administration, operation, efficiency, and such other
activities as may be prescribed by the President or the Secretary of
Defense as authorized by law.
As a result of the 1986 Department of Defense reorganization, certain
civilian functions, such as comptroller, acquisition, inspector
general, auditing and information management, were transferred from
the Army Staff to the Office of the Secretary of the Army.
Additionally, the Secretary is responsible for civil functions, such
as oversight of the Panama Canal Commission and execution of the
Panama Canal Treaty; the civil works program of the Corps of
Engineers; Arlington and Soldiers' Home National Cemeteries; and such
other activities of a civil nature as may be prescribed by higher
authority or authorized by law.
Principal Assistants Subject to the direction and control of the
Secretary of the Army, the Under Secretary of the Army, Assistant
Secretary of the Army (Civil Works), Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Financial Management), Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Installations, Logistics and Environment), Assistant Secretary of the

Systems for Command, Control, Communications and Computers, the

Chief of Public Affairs, and Director, Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business Utilization and Chairman, Army Reserve Forces
Policy Committee are authorized and directed to act for the Secretary
of the Army within their respective fields of responsibility and as
further directed by the Secretary.
Army Policy Council The Council is the senior policy advisory council
of the Department of the Army. It provides the Secretary of the Army
and his principal civilian and military assistants with a forum for
the discussion of Army subjects of significant policy interest and an
opportunity for members to consult with other members on matters
arising within their specific areas of responsibility.

DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
The primary mission of the Department of the Navy is to protect the
United States, as directed by the President or the Secretary of
Defense, by the effective prosecution of war at sea including, with
its Marine Corps component, the seizure or defense of advanced naval
bases; to support, as required, the forces of all military departments
of the United States; and to maintain freedom of the seas.
The United States Navy was founded on October 13, 1775, when Congress
enacted the first legislation creating the Continental Navy of the
American Revolution. The Department of the Navy and the Office of
Secretary of the Navy were established by act of April 30, 1798 (10
U.S.C. 5011, 5031). For 9 years prior to that date, by act of August
7, 1789 (1 Stat. 49), the conduct of naval affairs was under the
Secretary of War.
The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 established the
Department of Defense as an executive department of the Federal
Government, and provided that the Department of the Navy be a military
department within the Department of Defense (63 Stat. 578).
The Secretary of the Navy is appointed by the President as the head of
the Department of the Navy and is responsible to the Secretary of
Defense for the operation and efficiency of the Navy (10 U.S.C.
5031).
The organization of the Department of the Navy is reflected in the
organization chart and personnel listing. The Department of the Navy
includes the U.S. Coast Guard when it is operating as a Service in the
Navy.

United States Marine Corps
Commandant of the Marine Corps,
Department of the Navy, Washington, DC 20380 0001
Phone, 703 614 2500

The United States Marine Corps was established on November 10, 1775,
by resolution of the Continental Congress. The present composition,
missions, and functions of the Marine Corps are set forth in the
National Security Act of 1947, as amended (50 U.S.C. 401).
The primary mission of the Marine Corps is to provide Fleet Marine
Forces of combined arms, together with supporting air components, for
service with the Fleet in the seizure or defense of advanced naval
bases and for the conduct of land operations essential to the
prosecution of a naval campaign. Collateral functions of the Marine
Corps are to provide detachments and organizations for service on
armed vessels of the Navy and security detachments aboard naval
stations and bases and other governmental installations. The Marine
Corps is also responsible for developing, in coordination with the
other military services, the tactics, doctrine, techniques, and
equipment employed by landing forces in amphibious operations.
Additionally, it prepares for wartime expansion, in accordance with
joint mobilization plans, which may require activation of reserve
forces when necessary. The Marine Corps mission also encompasses
``performing such other duties as the President may direct.''
Structure The National Security Act, as amended in 1978, reaffirms the
Marine Corps as a separate service within the Department of the Navy
and seats the Commandant of the Marine Corps as a full member of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The Marine Corps is composed of Operating Forces and a Supporting
Establishment. The actual Operating Forces include three active
divisions, one reserve division, three active aircraft wings, one
reserve aircraft wing, two security force battalions (Atlantic and
Pacific), three force service support groups, and one reserve force
service support group. The largest of the Operating Forces is the
Fleet Marine Force (Pacific), with major subordinate commands located
on the west coast and in Hawaii and Japan.
Included under Fleet Marine Force (Pacific) are two Marine divi
sions, two Marine aircraft wings, and two Force Service Support
Groups. In addition, the headquarters of two Marine Expeditionary
Forces, two Marine Expeditionary Brigades, and three Marine
Expeditionary Units are being permanently formed. The Fleet Marine
Force (Atlantic) commands the Operating Forces located on the east
coast. These forces consist of a Marine division, a Marine aircraft
wing, a supporting Force Service Support Group, the permanent
headquarters of a Marine Expeditionary Force, a Marine Expeditionary
Brigade, and three Marine Expeditionary Units.
The Marine Corps is organized to fight as Marine Air Ground Task
Forces (MAGTF's). There are four basic types of MAGTF's, which are
task-organized to support national strategy and combatant CINC crisis
response requirements. The range of MAGTF's includes: Marine
Expeditionary Forces (MEF's), capable of prosecuting operational
campaigns against the most capable adversarial threat; the rapidly
deployable and employable Marine Expeditionary Brigades (MEB's);
routinely forward deployed Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU's); and
smaller Special Purpose Forces formed for specific missions or
contingencies. All MAGTF's are task-organized to efficiently maximize
combined arms effects through the integration of organic ground and
air firepower with maneuver.
Activities The Marine Corps' top priority is combat readiness. Its
traditional peacetime role is to serve as a force-in-readiness. The
Marine Corps has a global outlook, and Marines stand ready to be
deployed to any part of the world to carry out their assigned
missions. The Marines emphasize physical fitness and intensive
training. The Marine Corps continuously maintains forward deployed
MEU's, Special Operations Capability MAGTF's, geo-pre-positioned
equipment (Norway), maritime pre-positioned equipment and force
elements, air contingency forces, and other MAGTF-deployed forces. The
deployment of these forces is executed through the flexible use of
strategic and tactical deployment resources.

The National Defense University was established by the Department of
Defense on January 16, 1976, thereby merging the Industrial College of
the Armed Forces and the National War College to form a university.
Because the two senior service colleges are located at Fort Lesley J.
McNair, Washington, DC, their close affiliation reduces administrative
costs, provides for the sharing of faculty expertise and educational
resources and promotes a constructive dialog, which benefits both
colleges. On August 16, 1981, the Armed Forces Staff College in
Norfolk, VA, an institution educating mid-career officers, was
incorporated into the National Defense University. This action united
the Department of Defense's three joint colleges under one university
and allowed coordination of the curricula and professional development
of its students and the sharing of its resources.
In early 1982, the Secretary of Defense directed the establishment of
three research centers at the University: a Strategic Concepts
Development Center, a Mobilization Concepts Development Center, and a
War Gaming and Simulation Center. Later in the year, two institutions
became part of the University: the Institute for Higher Defense
Studies and the Department of Defense Computer Institute.
The University's mission is threefold: to prepare selected military
officers and civilian officials, in a joint environment, to fulfill
responsibilities at the national level for national security policy
and strategy, force generation, joint and combined operations, and
resources management; to perform research and policy analysis for the
Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and to
coordinate professional military education for the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The University is pursuing numerous initiatives designed to ensure
that its curriculum focuses on critical issues associated with the
Nation's current security posture. At the same time, increased
emphasis has been placed on achieving a closer relationship between
research and education. This is reflected in the studies programs of
the two senior colleges. Basic improvements in the scope and thrust of
the curricula of both colleges are designed to enrich the joint
educational process while emphasizing the important role played by
research in the University's mission.

employees of Federal departments and agencies concerned with national
security. It is the only senior service college with the primary
mission of offering a course of study that emphasizes national
security policy formulation and the planning and implementation of
national strategy.
Its 10-month academic program is an issue-centered study in U.S.
national security. It consists of a prescribed curriculum and an
elective study program. The prescribed portion of the curriculum
combines interwoven themes: international politics and the process and
substance of security policy formulation. Emphasis is placed on the
role of force in national security policy and strategy through the
study of major issues likely to affect the national security of the
United States. The elective program is designed to permit each student
to tailor his academic experience to meet individual professional
development needs. Electives include tutorial research, writing, and
reading, in addition to individual courses offered at the National War
College and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces.

Authorized by act of September 21, 1972 (10 U.S.C. 2112), the
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences was established
to educate career-oriented medical officers for the Military
Departments. It is a separate agency of the Department of Defense,
directly responsible to the Secretary of Defense (Department of
Defense Directive 5105.45).
The University currently incorporates the F. Edward He 1bert School of
Medicine and graduate and continuing education programs. It is located
on the Naval Medical Command reservation in Bethesda, MD.
Students are selected by procedures recommended by the Board of
Regents and prescribed by the Secretary of Defense. The actual
selection is carried out by a faculty committee on admissions and is
based upon motivation and dedication to a career in the uniformed
services and an overall appraisal of the personal and intellectual
characteristics of the candidates without regard to sex, race,
religion, or national origin. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
Matriculants will be commissioned officers in one of the uniformed
services. They must meet the physical and personal qualifications for
such a commission and must give evidence of a strong commitment to
serving as a uniformed medical officer. The graduating medical student
is required to serve a period of obligation of not less than 7 years.
Currently, there are approximately 650 officers training for their
M.D. degrees in the University's F. Edward He 1bert School of Medicine
and approximately 120 individuals enrolled in one of the University's
graduate programs in the basic sciences.
The University's graduate program is fully accredited and is available
to both civilian and military applicants. Graduates may receive the
Ph.D. degree in one of the biomedical sciences, the master of public
health degree, or the master of tropical medicine and hygiene degree.
In addition, the University serves as the focus for continuing medical
education programs that support the Military Departments by providing
unique training opportunities both at the University's Bethesda campus
and at military bases around the world.
The Military Medicine Education Institute was established in 1988 to
enhance wartime readiness training for active and reserve component
health professionals. It is responsible for the Joint Medical
Readiness Training Center with resident and nonresident Combat
Casualty Care Courses, and other courses for reserve health
professionals and active duty special operations medical sergeants.

The Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, and
the Blind was incorporated by act of February 16, 1857 (11 Stat. 161).
An amendatory act of February 23, 1865 (13 Stat. 436), changed the
name to the Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and
Dumb. The name was subsequently changed to Columbia Institution for
the Deaf by act of March 4, 1911 (36 Stat. 1422). The act of June 18,
1954 (20 U.S.C. 691 et seq.), changed its name to Gallaudet College.
The Education of the Deaf Act of 1986 (20 U.S.C. 4301) changed the
name to Gallaudet University.
Gallaudet University was established to provide a liberal higher
education for deaf persons who need special facilities to compensate
for their loss of hearing. The primary purpose of the university is to
afford its students the intellectual and spiritual development that
can be acquired through a study of the liberal arts and sciences.
In addition to its undergraduate program, Gallaudet University
operates a graduate program at the master's level for preparing
teachers and other professional personnel to work with persons who are
deaf, a research program focusing on problems related to deafness, and
a preschool for young deaf children.
Accreditation Gallaudet University is accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the National Council
for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the Council on Social Work
Education.
Model Secondary School for the Deaf The school was established by act
of October 15, 1966 (20 U.S.C. 693), when the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare entered into an agreement with Gallaudet
College for the establishment and operation, including construction,
of such a facility. It was established as an exemplary educational
facility for deaf students of high school age from the District of
Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
Delaware. The school is to provide maximum flexibility in curricula
and to encourage originality, imagination, and innovation needed to
satisfy deaf students' high levels of aspirations.
The objectives of the school are to provide day and residential
facilities for deaf youth of high school age, in order to prepare some
for college and other advanced study and to provide terminal education
for others; to prepare all students to the maximum extent possible to
be independent, contributing members of society; and to stimulate the
development of similar programs throughout the Nation.
Kendall Demonstration Elementary School The school, which is located
on the campus of Gallaudet University and now serves approximately 200
students, became the Nation's first demonstration elementary school
for the deaf by act of December 24, 1970 (20 U.S.C. 695), which
authorized Gallaudet College to operate and maintain the school as a
model that will experiment in techniques and materials, and to
disseminate information from these and future projects to educational
facilities for deaf children throughout the country.

The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) was established
by act of June 8, 1965 (20 U.S.C. 681), and after several years of
planning, programs began in 1968. Funded through the Department of
Education, it is an integral part of a larger institution known as the
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
NTID's presence at RIT is the first effort to educate large numbers of
deaf students within a college campus planned primarily for hearing
students. Unique in the world, NTID is a vital part of RIT's main
1,300-acre campus in suburban Rochester, NY. It provides educational
opportunities for qualified students from every State in the Nation
and, through educational outreach, publications, and related service,
serves deaf persons throughout the world. In addition, NTID conducts
research to better understand the role of deafness in education and
employment, and to develop innovative teaching techniques. It develops
training activities for its faculty and staff, as well as for other
professionals working with deaf persons across the country.
One of the major reasons for NTID's success in helping deaf students
join the mainstream of American life is its close working relationship
with other RIT colleges in developing career-oriented programs of
study. One of RIT's main strengths over the years has been its ability
to adapt its educational programs to technological and social change.
NTID helps keep that RIT tradition alive and has served more than
5,362 deaf students since 1968.
Deaf graduates from RIT have found employment throughout the Nation or
have moved on to advanced academic studies. Of those who pursued
employment, more than 90 percent have been placed in jobs; 93 percent
in jobs commensurate with their educational preparation. Of those
employed, 80 percent work in business and industry, more than 11
percent in government, and the remainder in education.
An applicant for NTID at RIT must be a U.S. resident. An overall
eighth grade achievement level or above is required, and, except under
special circumstances, an applicant must have completed a secondary
program. An applicant also must show evidence of need for special
services because of hearing loss and have an unaided better ear
average of 70dB ISO. References are requested.
Both Institutes are accredited by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. RIT also has been accredited by the
Engineers' Council for Professional Development; National Association
of Schools of Art; Committee on Professional Training of American
Chemical Society; Council on Social Work Education; and the National
Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

Regulatory Programs and Power
Regulatory Programs
The Department of Energy's enforcement program is conducted by the
field staff under the supervision and direction of the Administrator
of the Economic Regulatory Administration.
Power Administrations
The marketing and transmission of electric power produced at Federal
hydroelectric projects and reservoirs is carried out by the
Department's five Power Administrations. Management oversight of the
Power Administrations is the responsibility of the Assistant Secretary
for Conservation and Renewable Energy.
Bonneville Power Administration The Administration was created
pursuant to the Bonneville Project Act of August 20, 1937, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 832 et seq.). Through a regionwide, interconnecting
transmission system it markets electric power and energy from Federal
hydroelectric projects in the Pacific Northwest constructed and
operated by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of the
Interior's Bureau of Reclamation. Through interregional connections,
it sells surplus power to areas outside the Pacific Northwest region
and participates in exchanges of power.
The Administration markets power produced by the Federal Columbia
River Power System at the lowest rates, consistent with sound business
practices. Preference is given to public entities.
Power is sold at wholesale to utilities and directly to electroprocess
industries and other Federal agencies. The Administration also
exchanges electric power; prepares wholesale rates and repayment
schedules; and constructs, operates, and maintains a transmission
system that integrates Federal power projects and interconnects with
non-Federal utility systems.
In addition, the Administration is responsible for energy
conservation, renewable resource development, and fish and wildlife
enhancement under the provisions of the Pacific Northwest Electric
Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 839 note).
The Administration, in cooperation with the Corps of Engineers,
represents the United States in implementing the provisions of the
Columbia River Treaty with Canada.
By act of October 18, 1974 (16 U.S.C. 838), the Bonneville Power
Administration has the authority, in lieu of appropriations, to use
its revenues and to sell revenue bonds to the U.S. Treasury to finance
its programs.
For further information, contact the Bonneville Power Administration,
P.O. Box 3621, 1002 NE. Holladay Street, Portland, OR 97208. Phone,
503 230 5101.
Southeastern Power Administration The Administration was created by
the Secretary of the Interior in 1950 to carry out functions assigned
to the Secretary by the Flood Control Act of 1944 (58 Stat. 890),
which pertain to the transmission and disposition of surplus electric
power and energy generated at reservoir projects that are or may be
under the control of the Department of the Army in the States of West
Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The Southeastern Power
Administration was transferred from the Department of the Interior to
the Department of Energy by the Department of Energy Organization Act
(42 U.S.C. 7152), effective October 1, 1977.
The Administration transmits and disposes of the surplus electric
power and energy generated at the Federal reservoir projects in such
manner as to encourage the most widespread use. The Administration
sets the lowest possible rates to consumers, consistent with sound
business principles, and gives preference in the sale of such power
and energy to public bodies and cooperatives.
The program of the Administration includes the negotiation,
preparation, execution, and administration of contracts for the
disposition of electric power; the preparation of wholesale rates and
repayment schedules; the provision by construction, contract, or
otherwise, of transmission and related facilities to interconnect
reservoir projects and to serve contractual loads; and activities
pertaining to the planning and operation of power facilities.
For further information, contact the Southeastern Power
Administration, Elberton, GA 30635. Phone, 404 283 9917.
Alaska Power Administration The Administration is responsible for
operating and marketing power for two Federal hydroelectric projects
in Alaska. Legislative authorities for this work include the Eklutna
Project Act (64 Stat. 382); the Snettisham Project authorization in
the Flood Control Act of 1962 (76 Stat. 1193); the power-marketing
provision of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (58 Stat. 890); the act of
August 9, 1955, Investigation of Water Resources, Alaska; and section
201 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2944).
Power operations and marketing functions involving the Eklutna and
Snettisham Hydroelectric Projects include the projects' transmission
systems serving the Anchorage and Juneau areas.
For further information, contact the Alaska Power Administration,
Suite 2B, 2770 Sherwood Lane, Juneau, AK 99801. Phone, 907 586 7405.
Southwestern Power Administration The Administration was created by
the Secretary of the Interior in 1943 to carry out the Secretary's
responsibility for the sale and disposition of electric power and
energy generated at certain projects constructed and operated by the
Department of the Army. For these projects, the Administration carries
out the functions assigned to the Secretary by the Flood Control Act
of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s) in the States of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana,
Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Since October 1, 1977, the Southwestern
Power Administration has been functioning under the direction of the
Secretary of Energy, pursuant to section 302(a)(1) of the Department
of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152).
The headquarters office is located at Tulsa, OK, and there are three
area offices Springfield, MO; Muskogee, OK; and Jonesboro, AR four
maintenance units, and two dispatching offices.
The Southwestern Power Administration transmits and disposes of the
electric power and energy generated at Federal reservoir projects,
supplemented by power purchased from public and private utilities, in
such a manner as to encourage the most widespread and economical use.
The Administration sets the lowest possible rates to consumers,
consistent with sound business principles, and gives preference in the
sale of power and energy to public bodies and cooperatives.
The Administration:
develops, negotiates, and administers contracts for the sale and
interchange of electric power and energy on a wholesale basis;
prepares rate and repayment studies;
designs and constructs transmission lines and related facilities to
interconnect hydroelectric projects of the Administration's system and
other systems, both public and private;
operates and maintains the high-voltage transmission system to serve
contractual loads, maintain reliable interconnections, and utilize
excess capacity to provide transmission service to others;
develops long-range marketing programs for maximum utilization of
power from existing and proposed hydroelectric projects; and
conducts and participates in the comprehensive planning of water
resource development in the Southwest.
For further information, contact the Southwestern Power
Administration, P.O. Box 1619, Tulsa, OK 74101. Phone, 918 581 7474.
Western Area Power Administration The Administration was established
on December 21, 1977, pursuant to section 302 of the Department of
Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152). The Administration is
responsible for the Federal electric power-marketing and transmission
functions in 15 central and western States, encompassing a geographic
area of 1.3 million square miles. The Administration sells power to
532 customers, consisting of cooperatives, municipalities, public
utility districts, private utilities, Federal and State agencies, and
irrigation districts. The wholesale power customers, in turn, provide
service to millions of retail consumers in the States of Arizona,
California, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and
Wyoming.
The Administration is responsible for the operation and maintenance of
16,178 miles of transmission lines, 228 substations, and various
auxiliary power facilities in the aforementioned geographic areas and
also for planning, construction, and operation and maintenance of
additional Federal transmission facilities that may be authorized in
the future. Electric power marketed by the Administration is generated
by the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and
the International Boundary and Water Commission, which operates 47
hydropower generating plants in its service area. In addition, it
markets the United States entitlement from the Navajo coal-fired plant
near Page, AZ. The Administration's current installed generating
capacity is 8,321 megawatts.
In carrying out the Federal power-marketing program, the
Administration's organization consists of the Headquarters Office
located in Golden, CO; five area offices Billings, MT; Boulder City,
NV; Loveland, CO; Sacramento, CA; and Salt Lake City, UT five district
offices, and one power systems operations office.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
The Department of Health and Human Services is the Cabinet-level
department of the Federal executive branch most concerned with people
and most involved with the Nation's human concerns. In one way or
another whether it is mailing out social security checks or making
health services more widely available HHS touches the lives of more
Americans than any other Federal agency. It is literally a department
of people serving people, from newborn infants to our most elderly

Public Health Service
[For the Public Health Service statement of organization, see the
Federal Register of Dec. 2, 1977, 42 FR 61317]
The Public Health Service was established by act of July 16, 1798 (ch.
77, 1 Stat. 605), authorizing marine hospitals for the care of
American merchant seamen. Subsequent legislation has vastly broadened
the scope of its activities.
The Public Health Service Act of July 1, 1944 (42 U.S.C. 201),
consolidated and revised substantially all existing legislation
relating to the Public Health Service. The basic Public Health Service
legal responsibilities have been broadened and expanded many times
since 1944. Major organizational changes have occurred within the
Public Health Service to support its mission to promote the protection
and advancement of the Nation's physical and mental health. This is
accomplished by:
coordinating with the States to set and implement national health
policy and pursue effective intergovernmental relations;
generating and upholding cooperative international health-related
agreements, policies, and programs;
conducting medical and biomedical research;
sponsoring and administering programs for the development of health
resources, prevention and control of diseases, and alcohol and drug
abuse;
providing resources and expertise to the States and other public and
private institutions in the planning, direction, and delivery of
physical and mental health care services; and
enforcing laws to assure the safety and efficacy of drugs and
protection against impure and unsafe foods, cosmetics, medical

Health and the Surgeon General plan and direct the activities of the
Public Health Service.
Agency for Health Care Policy and Research The Agency was established
by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (42 U.S.C. 299) as
the successor to the National Center for Health Services Research and
Health Care Technology Assessment. The Agency is the Federal
Government's focal point for health services research. To accomplish
its mission of enhancing the quality of patient care services, the
Agency promotes improvements in clinical practice and patient outcomes
through more appropriate and effective health care services;
improvements in the financing, organization, and delivery of health
care services; and increased access to quality health care.
The Agency acquires, develops, and transfers new knowledge through a
coordinated program of research, demonstrations, evaluations, and
information dissemination activities. Generally, the Agency's primary
functions are:
developing a broad base of scientific research, methods, and
databases through extramural research grants and contracts and
intramural research activities;
demonstrating and evaluating new ways to organize, finance, and
direct health care services to improve the delivery, access to, and
outcomes of such services;
assessing technologies being considered for reimbursement by
federally funded programs;
facilitating the development of practice guidelines and standardized
measures of quality care for use by physicians and other health care
practitioners; and
promoting the use of health services research findings through
systematic, broad-based information dissemination.
The Agency supports research in medical treatment effectiveness and
patient outcomes; assessment of health care technologies; medical
malpractice and liability; delivery of health services in rural areas;
availability, accessibility, and quality care for underserved
populations; alternative delivery systems, providers, and practice
patterns in primary care; and resource use, cost of care, and delivery
of services to persons with human immunodeficiency virus-related (HIV)
illnesses.
For further information, call 301 443 4100.

Administration is to find scientifically based solutions to alcohol,
drug abuse, and mental health problems and to provide a national focus
for the Federal effort to increase knowledge and promote effective
strategies to deal with health problems and issues associated with the

abuse, and mental health treatment and prevention services;

grant program and collaborates with, provides assistance to, and
encourages other Federal agencies and national, foreign, State, and

Health Care Financing Administration
[For the Health Care Financing Administration statement of
organization, see the Federal Register of March 25, 1991, 56 FR
12374]
The Health Care Financing Administration was established by the
Secretary's reorganization of March 8, 1977, as a principal operating
component of the Department. It places under one Administration the
oversight of the Medicare and Medicaid Programs and related Federal
medical care quality control staffs.
Medicare The Medicare Program is a Federal health insurance program
for persons over 65 years of age and certain disabled persons. It is
funded through social security contributions, premiums, and general
revenue. The Administration develops and implements policies related
to program recipients, the providers of services such as hospitals,
nursing homes, physicians, and the contractors who process claims. It
also coordinates with the States to develop departmental programs,
activities, and organizations that are closely related to the Medicare Program.
Medicaid The Medicaid Program, through grants to States, provides
medical services to the needy and the medically needy. The
Administration is responsible for working with the States to develop
approaches toward meeting the needs of those who cannot afford
adequate medical care.
The Medicare/Medicaid Programs include a quality assurance focal point
to carry out the quality assurance provisions of the Medicare and
Medicaid Programs; the development and implementation of health and
safety standards for providers of care in Federal health programs; and
the implementation of the End Stage Renal Disease Program and the
Professional Review provisions.

Financing Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, 200

Social Security Administration
[For the Social Security Administration statement of organization, see
the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 20, Part 422]
The Social Security Administration was established and its
predecessor, the Social Security Board, was abolished by
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective July 16,
1946.
By Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1953 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective April
11, 1953, the Social Security Administration was transferred from the
Federal Security Agency to the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare, later the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Office of the Commissioner of Social Security is directly
responsible to the Secretary of Health and Human Services for all
programs administered by the Administration.
The Social Security Administration, under the direction of the
Commissioner of Social Security, administers a national program of
contributory social insurance whereby employees, employers, and the
self-employed pay contributions that are pooled in special trust
funds. When earnings stop or are reduced because the worker retires,
dies, or becomes disabled, monthly cash benefits are paid to partially
replace part of the earnings the family has lost.
Part of the contributions go into a separate hospital insurance trust
fund, so that when workers and their dependents become 65 years old
they will have help with their hospital bills. They may also elect to
receive help with doctor bills and other medical expenses by paying a
percentage of supplementary medical insurance premiums, while the
Federal Government pays the remainder. Together, these two programs
are often referred to as ``Medicare.'' Under certain conditions,
Medicare protection also is provided to people who are receiving
social security or railroad retirement monthly benefits based on a
disability. The responsibility for the administration of the Medicare
Program has been transferred to the Health Care Financing
Administration. By agreement with the Department of Labor, the
Administration is also involved in certain aspects of the
administration of the black lung benefits provisions of the Federal
Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended (30 U.S.C. 901).
Principal programs include the Old Age Survivors and Disability
Insurance Program, which provides monthly benefits to retired and
disabled workers, their spouses and children, and to survivors of
insured workers.
The agency administers the supplemental security income program for
the aged, blind, and disabled. This basic Federal payment program is
financed out of general revenue, rather than a special trust fund.
Some States, choosing to provide payments to supplement the benefits,
have agreements with Administration under which it administers the
supplemental payments for the States.
In addition, the Administration, through a nationwide field
organization of 10 regional offices, 6 processing centers, and over
1,300 local offices, guides and directs all aspects of the cash
benefit program operations of the agency; and directs the activities
of those offices responsible for various program operations, including
retirement, survivors, and disability insurance, and supplemental
security income.
The Social Security Administration also provides administrative
direction to a national organization of administrative law judges, who
conduct independent hearings and decide appealed determinations
involving the benefit provisions of Administration programs. The
Administration, through its Appeals Council, reviews such appealed
determinations and renders the Secretary's final decision.
Social Security Administration operations are decentralized to provide
appropriate services at the local level. The United States is divided
into 10 regions, each headed by a Regional Commissioner. The Regional
Commissioner is the principal agency representative at the regional
level, responsible for effective Administration contact with HHS,
other Federal agencies, State disability determination services, and
State welfare agencies. Regional Commissioners implement national
operational and management plans for providing services directly to
the public and coordinate regional operations so that they are
effective and consistent with national and regional requirements, as
well as systems and policy directives.
Each region contains, under the overall direction of the Regional
Commissioner, a network of district offices, branch offices, and
teleservice centers, which serve as the contact between Administration
and the public. These installations have responsibility for:
informing people of the purposes and provisions of programs and their
rights and responsibilities thereunder;
assisting with claims filed for retirement, survivors, health, or
disability insurance benefits, black lung benefits, or supplemental
security income;
developing and adjudicating claims;
assisting certain beneficiaries in claiming reimbursement for medical
expenses;
conducting development of cases involving earnings records, coverage,
and fraud-related questions;
making rehabilitation service referrals; and
assisting claimants in filing appeals on Administration
determinations of benefit entitlement or amount.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is the principal
Federal agency responsible for programs concerned with the Nation's
housing needs, fair housing opportunities, and improvement and
development of the Nation's communities.
In carrying out its responsibilities, the Department administers a
wide variety of programs, including: Federal Housing Administration
mortgage insurance programs that help families become homeowners and
facilitate the construction and rehabilitation of rental units; rental
assistance programs for lower-income families who otherwise could not
afford decent housing; the Government National Mortgage Association
mortgage-backed securities program that helps ensure an adequate
supply of mortgage credit; programs to combat housing discrimination
and affirmatively further fair housing; programs that aid community
and neighborhood development and preservation; and programs to help
protect the homebuyer in the marketplace. The Department also takes
steps to encourage a strong private sector housing industry that can
produce affordable housing, and to stimulate private sector
initiatives, public/private sector partnerships, and public entrepreneurship.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was established
by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3532
3537), effective November 9, 1965. It was created to:
administer the principal programs that provide assistance for housing
and for the development of the Nation's communities;
assist the President in achieving maximum coordination of the various
Federal activities that have a major effect upon community
preservation and development;
encourage the problem-solving of housing and community development
through States and localities;
encourage the maximum contributions that may be made by vigorous
private homebuilding and mortgage lending industries, both primary and
secondary, to housing, community development, and the national
economy; and
provide for full and appropriate consideration, at the national
level, of the needs and interests of the Nation's communities and of
the people who live and work in them.
Although HUD administers many programs, its major functions may be
grouped into six categories, which include:
insuring mortgages for single-family and multifamily dwellings and
loans for home improvement and the purchase of mobile homes;
channeling funds from investors into the mortgage industry through
the Government National Mortgage Association;
making direct loans for construction or rehabilitation of housing
projects for the elderly and the handicapped;
providing Federal housing subsidies for low- and moderate-income
families;
providing grants to States and communities for community development
activities; and
promoting and enforcing fair housing and equal housing opportunity.

As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the
Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public
lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of
our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife,
preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks
and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through
outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our mineral resources,
works to ensure that their development is in the best interests of all
our people, and promotes the goals of the Take Pride in America
campaign by encouraging stewardship and citizen participation in their
care. The Department also has a major responsibility for American
Indian reservation communities and for people who live in island
territories under United States administration.
The jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior includes:
administration of over 500 million acres of Federal land, and trust
responsibilities for approximately 50 million acres of land, mostly
Indian reservations;
conservation and development of mineral and water resources;
conservation, development, and utilization of fish and wildlife
resources;
coordination of Federal and State recreation programs;
preservation and administration of the Nation's scenic and historic
areas;
operation of Job Corps Conservation Centers and Youth Conservation
Corps Camps, and coordination of other manpower and youth training
programs;
reclamation of arid lands in the West through irrigation; and
management of hydroelectric power systems.
The Department of the Interior is also concerned with the social and
economic development of the territories of the United States and in
the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands; and administers programs
providing services to Indians and Alaska Natives.
The Department of the Interior was created by act of March 3, 1849 (43
U.S.C. 1451), which transferred to it the General Land Office, the
Office of Indian Affairs, the Pension Office, and the Patent Office.
The Department also had responsibility for supervision of the
Commissioner of Public Buildings, the Board of Inspectors and the
Warden of the Penitentiary of the District of Columbia, the census of
the United States, and the accounts of marshals and other officers of
the United States courts, and of lead and other mines in the United
States.
Over the many years of its existence, other functions have been added
and removed, so that its role has changed from that of general
housekeeper for the Federal Government to that of custodian of the
Nation's natural resources.

United States Fish and Wildlife Service
[For the United States Fish and Wildlife Service statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 50,
Subchapter A, Part 2]
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's national responsibility
in the service of fish, wildlife, and people reaches back over 115
years to the establishment in 1871 of a predecessor agency, the Bureau
of Fisheries. First created as an independent agency, the Bureau of
Fisheries was later placed in the Department of Commerce. A second
predecessor agency, the Bureau of Biological Survey, was established
in 1885 in the Department of Agriculture.
The two Bureaus and their functions were transferred in 1939 to the
Department of the Interior. They were consolidated into one agency and
redesignated the Fish and Wildlife Service in 1940 by Reorganization
Plan III (5 U.S.C. app.).
Further reorganization came in 1956 when the Fish and Wildlife Act (16
U.S.C. 742a) created the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and
provided for it to replace and succeed the former Fish and Wildlife
Service. The Act established two Bureaus within the new Service: the
Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and
Wildlife.
In 1970, under Reorganization Plans 3 and 4 (5 U.S.C. app.), the
Bureau of Commercial Fisheries was transferred to the Department of
Commerce. The Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, which remained
in Interior, was renamed by an act of Congress in April 1974 (16
U.S.C. 742b) as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Service is composed of a headquarters office in Washington, DC; 7
regional offices in the lower 48 States and Alaska; a regional
research structure; and a variety of field units and installations.
These include 465 National Wildlife Refuges and 150 Waterfowl
Production Areas comprising more than 90 million acres, 25 major fish
and wildlife laboratories and centers, 36 cooperative research units
at universities across the country, 76 National Fish Hatcheries, and a
nationwide network of wildlife law enforcement agents.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for
migratory birds, endangered species, certain marine mammals, inland
sport fisheries, and specific fishery and wildlife research
activities. Its mission is to conserve, protect, and enhance fish and
wildlife and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American
people. Within this framework, the Service assists in the development
of an environmental stewardship ethic for our society based on
ecological principles, scientific knowledge of wildlife, and a sense
of moral responsibility; works with the States to improve the
conservation and management of the Nation's fish and wildlife
resources; and administers a national program providing opportunities
to the American public to understand, appreciate, and wisely use these
resources.
In the area of resource management, the Service provides leadership
for the protection and improvement of land and water environments
(habitat preservation), which directly benefits the living natural
resources and adds quality to human life. Activities include:
biological monitoring through scientific research;
surveillance of pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants;
studies of fish and wildlife populations;
ecological studies;
environmental impact assessment, including hydroelectric dams,
nuclear power sites, stream channelization, and dredge-and-fill
permits; and
environmental impact statement review.
The Service is responsible for improving and maintaining fish and
wildlife resources by proper management of migratory birds and other
wildlife. It also assists in fulfilling the public demand for
recreational fishing while maintaining the Nation's fisheries at a
level and in a condition that will ensure their continued survival.
Specific wildlife and fishery resources programs include:
migratory birds: wildlife refuge management for production,
migration, and wintering; law enforcement; research, including bird
banding, production, and harvest studies; breeding, migrating, and
wintering surveys; and disease studies;
mammals and nonmigratory birds: refuge management of resident
species; law enforcement; research on disease and population
distribution, including marine mammals and species transplants; and
technical assistance;
cooperative fish and wildlife research units: located at universities
to conduct research and supervise graduate student research,
complementing the Service's wildlife and fishery research programs;
coastal anadromous fish: hatchery production, stocking, and research
on nutrition, disease, and habitat requirements in 16 of the 24
coastal States;
Great Lakes fisheries: hatchery production of lake trout; fishery
management in cooperation with Canada and the States, and research;
and
other inland fisheries: hatchery production and stocking of Indian
lands; technical assistance; and research on genetics, disease,
nutrition, and taxonomy.
The Service provides national and international leadership in the area
of identifying, protecting, and restoring endangered species of fish,
wildlife, and plants. This program includes:
development of the Endangered and Threatened Species List, conduct of
status surveys, preparation of recovery plans, and coordination of
efforts nationally and internationally;
research on propagation methods, distribution, genetics, and
behavior;
operation of wildlife refuges;
law enforcement;
foreign importation enforcement; and
consultation with foreign countries.
Public information programs include preparation of news releases,
leaflets, and brochures; operation of environmental study areas on
Service lands for use by school groups and teachers; operation of
visitor centers, self-guided nature trails, observation towers,
display ponds, and providing recreational activities, such as hunting,
fishing, and wildlife photography.
The Service's Federal aid programs apportion funds to the States and
territories for projects designed to conserve, develop, and enhance
the Nation's fish and wildlife resources.

Bureau of Mines
The Bureau of Mines was established July 1, 1910, in the Department of
the Interior by the Organic Act of May 16, 1910, as amended (30 U.S.C.
1, 3, 5 7). The 1910 act has been supplemented by several statutes,
including those authorizing production and sale of helium, and
research on environmental problems associated with minerals.
The Bureau of Mines is primarily a research and factfinding agency.
Its goal is to help ensure that the Nation has adequate supplies of
nonfuel minerals for security and other needs. Research is conducted
to provide the technology for the extraction, processing, use, and
recycling of the Nation's nonfuel mineral resources at a reasonable
cost without harm to the environment or the workers involved.
The Bureau also collects, compiles, analyzes, and publishes
statistical and economic information on all phases of nonfuel mineral
resource development, including exploration, production, shipments,
demand, stocks, prices, imports, and exports. Special studies are
frequently made on subjects of particular national interest, such as
the effects of potential economic, technologic, or legal developments
on resource availability. The effects of policy alternatives on
mineral supply and demand are also analyzed.
For further information, contact the Office of Public Information,
Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, 2401 E Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20241. Phone, 202 634 1004.
Geological Survey
The Geological Survey was established by act of March 3, 1879 (43
U.S.C. 31), which provided for ``the classification of the public
lands and the examination of the geological structure, mineral
resources, and products of the national domain.'' The act of September
5, 1962 (43 U.S.C. 31(b)), expanded this authorization to include such
examinations outside the national domain. Topographic mapping and
chemical and physical research were recognized as an essential part of
the investigations and studies authorized by act of March 3, 1879, and
specific provision was made for them by act of October 2, 1888 (25
Stat. 526).
Provision was made in 1894 for gauging the streams and determining the
water supply of the United States (28 Stat. 398). Authorizations for
publication, sale, and distribution of material prepared by the
Geological Survey are contained in several statutes (43 U.S.C. 41 45;
44 U.S.C. 260 262).
The Geological Survey's primary responsibilities are: investigating
and assessing the Nation's land, water, energy, and mineral resources;
conducting research on global change; investigating natural hazards
such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, and droughts; and
conducting the National Mapping Program. To attain these objectives,
the Geological Survey prepares maps and digital and cartographic data;
collects and interprets data on energy and mineral resources; conducts
nationwide assessments of the quality, quantity, and use of the
Nation's water resources; performs fundamental and applied research in
the sciences and techniques involved; and publishes and disseminates
the results of its investigations in thousands of new maps and reports
each year.
For further information, contact the Public Affairs Officer, U.S.
Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, 119 National Center,
Reston, VA 22092. Phone, 703 648 4460.
Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) was
established in the Department of the Interior by the Surface Mining
Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1211).
The Office's primary goal is to assist States in operating a
nationwide program that protects society and the environment from the
adverse effects of coal mining, while ensuring that surface coal
mining can be done without permanent damage to land and water
resources. The main objectives, now that most coal-mining States have
assumed primary responsibility for regulating coal mining and
reclamation activities within their borders, are to oversee mining and
reclamation in States with primary responsibility, to assist States in
meeting the objectives of the act, and to regulate mining and
reclamation activities in those States choosing not to assume primary
responsibility.
The Office's headquarters is located in Washington, DC. In addition,
Assistant Directors in Pittsburgh (Eastern Support Center) and Denver
(Western Support Center) provide technical support to the States and
to OSM's 13 field offices and 8 area offices. The field offices
interact with State and other Federal agencies, assisting the States
in implementing their regulatory and reclamation programs. The Eastern
and Western Support Centers also review mine plans and permit
applications on Federal lands.
Activities The Office's major activities are carried out through the
Office of the Director, assisted by two Deputy Directors and six
Assistant Directors. The Director establishes national policy for the
conduct of the surface mining control and reclamation program provided
for in the act; reviews and approves amendments to previously approved
State programs; and provides overall direction to the agency.
Supporting the immediate Office of the Director are staff offices
providing assistance in the areas of congressional, public, and
external affairs, equal opportunity, planning, analysis,
correspondence control, and issues management.
The Deputy Director for Administration and Finance is responsible for
the development and operation of an integrated and computerized
financial management process that applies to the full range of
collections, disbursements, and accounting for all OSM's funds and
accounts. The Deputy Director for Administration and Finance is also
responsible for implementing an operations evaluation program.
Assisting this Deputy Director are three Assistant Directors.
The Assistant Director for Budget and Administration formulates policy
and provides guidance for budget formulation and execution, personnel,
administrative services, and records management.
The Assistant Director for Finance and Accounting:
manages all financial systems, including the collection of civil
penalties and abandoned mine land fees;
audits abandoned mine land fee payments; and
provides policy and direction for all financial programs.
The Assistant Director for Information Systems Management:
provides policy guidance for automated data processing activities
throughout the agency and oversees the implementation of all data
processing contracts and procurements;
oversees the design and management of the nationwide data processing
systems needed to implement the agency's mission;
analyzes the validity of program-related statistics;
provides technical support to headquarters and field personnel using
computer systems; and
assures the agency's capability to support the computer technology
requirements of the State regulatory authorities.
The Deputy Director for Operations and Technical Services is
responsible for managing the field offices, which are located in
Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and
Wyoming.
Also reporting to the Deputy Director for Operations and Technical
Services is the Assistant Director for Reclamation and Regulatory
Policy, who is responsible for establishing technical standards and
regulatory policy for OSM's reclamation and enforcement efforts;
providing guidance for environmental considerations, research,
training, and technology transfer for State and Federal regulatory and
abandoned mine land reclamation programs; and providing direction and
leadership for the Regulatory Programs, Abandoned Mine Lands, and
Technical Services Divisions.

Bureau of Indian Affairs
The Bureau of Indian Affairs was created as part of the War Department
in 1824 and transferred to the Department of the Interior when the
latter was established in 1849. The Snyder Act of 1921 (25 U.S.C. 13)
provided substantive law for appropriations covering the conduct of
activities by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The scope and character of
the authorizations contained in this act were broadened by the Indian
Reorganization Act of 1934 (25 U.S.C. 461 et seq.), the Indian
Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (25 U.S.C.
450), title XI of the Education Amendments of 1978 (20 U.S.C. 2701
note), and the Hawkins-Stafford Elementary and Secondary School
Improvement Amendments of 1988 (20 U.S.C. 2701).
The principal objectives of the Bureau are to encourage and assist
Indian and Alaska Native people to manage their own affairs under the
trust relationship to the Federal Government; to facilitate, with
maximum involvement of Indian and Alaska Native people, full
development of their human and natural resource potential; to mobilize
all public and private aids to the advancement of Indian and Alaska
Native people for use by them; and to utilize the skill and
capabilities of Indian and Alaska Native people in the direction and
management of programs for their benefit.
Activities In carrying out these objectives, the Bureau works with
Indian and Alaska Native people, tribal governments, Native American
organizations, other Federal agencies, State and local governments,
and other interested groups in the development and implementation of
effective programs for their advancement.
The Bureau seeks for them adequate educational opportunities in public
education systems, assists them in the creation and management of
educational systems for their own benefit, or provides from Federal
resources the educational systems needed; actively promotes the
improvement of their social welfare by working with them to obtain and
provide needed social and community development programs and services;
works with them in the development and implementation of programs for
their economic advancement and for full utilization of their natural
resources consistent with the principles of resource conservation.
The Bureau also acts as trustee for their lands and moneys held in
trust by the United States, assisting them to realize maximum benefits
from such resources.

Minerals Management Service
The Minerals Management Service was established on January 19, 1982,
by Secretarial Order No. 3071, under the authority provided by section
2 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (5 U.S.C. app.). All Outer
Continental Shelf leasing responsibilities of the Department of the
Interior were consolidated within the Service on May 10, 1982, by
amendment 1 to Secretarial Order No. 3071. Amendment 2, dated May 26,
1982, set forth the basic organizational structure and provided for
the transfer of administrative functions.
Secretarial Order No. 3087, dated December 3, 1982, and amendment 1,
dated February 7, 1983, provided for the transfer of royalty and
mineral revenue management functions, including collection and
distribution, to the Minerals Management Service and transferred all
onshore minerals management functions on Federal and Indian lands to
the Bureau of Land Management.
The Service assesses the nature, extent, recoverability, and value of
leasable minerals on the Outer Continental Shelf. It ensures the
orderly and timely inventory and development, as well as the efficient
recovery, of mineral resources; encourages utilization of the best
available and safest technology; provides for fair, full, and accurate
returns to the Federal Treasury for produced commodities; and
safeguards against fraud, waste, and abuse.
Offshore Minerals Management The Service is responsible for resource
evaluation and classification, environmental review, leasing
activities (including public liaison and planning functions), lease
management, and inspection and enforcement programs for Outer
Continental Shelf lands.
Five-year oil and gas leasing programs are developed for leasing on
the Outer Continental Shelf in consultation with the Congress, the 23
coastal States, local governments, environmental groups, industry, and
the public.
The Service conducts extensive environmental studies and consultations
with State officials prior to issuing leases. Once leases have been
issued, inspectors conduct frequent inspections of offshore
operations, and environmental studies personnel collect more data to
ensure that marine environments are kept free of pollutants.
Royalty Management The Service is responsible for the collection of
all royalty payments, rentals, bonus payments, fines, penalties,
assessments, and other revenues due the Federal Government and Indian
lessors as monies or royalties-in-kind from the extraction of mineral
resources from Federal and Indian lands onshore and from the leasing
and extraction of mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf.
The revenues generated by minerals leasing are one of the largest
nontax sources of income to the Federal Government. As specified by
law, these revenues are distributed to the States, to the general fund
of the Treasury, and to Indian tribes and allottees.
The basic organization of the Service consists of a headquarters in
Washington, DC, with program components located in Herndon, VA; the
Royalty Management Program, headquartered in Lakewood, CO; four Outer
Continental Shelf regional offices; and three administrative service
centers.

Bureau of Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was established July 16, 1946, by
the consolidation of the General Land Office (created in 1812) and the
Grazing Service (formed in 1934).
The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2743)
repealed and replaced many obsolete or overlapping statutes. It
provides a basic mission statement for the Bureau and establishes
policy guidelines and criteria for the management of public lands and
resources administered by the Bureau.
The Bureau's basic organization consists of a headquarters in
Washington, DC, a Service Center in Denver, CO, a Fire Center in
Boise, ID, and a Training Center in Phoenix, AZ, which have BLM-wide
support responsibilities; and a field organization of State, district,
and resource area offices. The Bureau also utilizes a system of
advisory councils to assist in the development of management plans and
policies.
The Bureau is responsible for the total management of more than 270
million acres of public lands. These lands are located primarily in
the West and Alaska; however, small scattered parcels are located in
other States. In addition to minerals management responsibilities on
the public lands, BLM is also responsible for subsurface resource
management of an additional 300 million acres where mineral rights are
owned by the Federal Government.
Resources managed by the Bureau include timber, solid minerals, oil
and gas, geothermal energy, wildlife habitat, endangered plant and
animal species, rangeland vegetation, recreation and cultural values,
wild and scenic rivers, designated conservation and wilderness areas,
and open space. Bureau programs provide for the protection (including
fire suppression), orderly development, and use of the public lands
and resources under principles of multiple use and sustained yield.
Land use plans are developed with public involvement to provide
orderly use and development while maintaining and enhancing the
quality of the environment. The Bureau also manages watersheds to
protect soil and enhance water quality; develops recreational
opportunities on public lands; administers programs to protect and
manage wild horses and burros; and, under certain conditions, makes
land available for sale to individuals, organizations, local
governments, and other Federal agencies when such transfer is in the
public interest. Lands may be leased to State and local government
agencies and to nonprofit organizations for certain purposes.
The Bureau oversees and manages the development of energy and mineral
leases and ensures compliance with applicable regulations governing
the extraction of these resources.
The Bureau has responsibility to issue rights-of-way, in certain
instances, for crossing Federal lands under other agencies'
jurisdiction. It also has general enforcement authority.
The Bureau is responsible for the survey of Federal lands and
establishes and maintains public land records and records of mining
claims. It administers a program of payments in lieu of taxes based on
the amount of federally owned lands in counties and other units of
local government.

Bureau of Reclamation
The Reclamation Act of 1902 (43 U.S.C. 371 et seq.) authorized
the Secretary of the Interior to administer a reclamation program that
would provide the arid and semiarid lands of the 17 contiguous Western
States a secure, year-round water supply for irrigation. To perform
the mission, the Reclamation Service was created within the U.S.
Geological Survey. In 1907 the Reclamation Service was separated from
the Survey, and in 1923 the name was changed to Bureau of
Reclamation.
As the West grew and water resources needs increased, the Bureau of
Reclamation's mission expanded as well. The Bureau now provides water
for farms, towns, and industries, and is responsible for the
generation of hydroelectric power, river regulation and flood control,
outdoor recreation opportunities, and the enhancement and protection
of fish and wildlife habitats.
The Bureau's functions include:
development of plans for the conservation and wise use of water
resources;
design and construction of authorized projects;
repair and rehabilitation of existing projects;
operation and maintenance of many Bureau-constructed facilities;
salinity control;
groundwater management;
administration of small loans to States and local entities for
construction and rehabilitation of water supply systems;
hazardous waste management;
research to improve technology in support of its mission;
safety evaluation of existing dams;
water quality and environmental enhancement; and
technical assistance to foreign countries for water resource
development.
Through contracts with project beneficiaries, the Bureau arranges
repayment to the Federal Treasury for construction, operation and
maintenance costs. About 81 percent of all direct project costs are
repaid to the Government.
At present, Reclamation project facilities in operation include 355
storage reservoirs, 254 diversion dams, 15,855 miles of canals, 1,380
miles of pipeline, 276 miles of tunnels, 17,000 miles of project
drains, and 54 hydroelectric powerplants.

[For the Department of Justice statement of organization, see the Code
of Federal Regulations, Title 28, Chapter I, Part 0]
As the largest law firm in the Nation, the Department of Justice
serves as counsel for its citizens. It represents them in enforcing
the law in the public interest. Through its thousands of lawyers,
investigators, and agents, the Department plays the key role in
protection against criminals and subversion, in ensuring healthy
competition of business in our free enterprise system, in safeguarding
the consumer, and in enforcing drug, immigration, and naturalization
laws. The Department also plays a significant role in protecting
citizens through its efforts for effective law enforcement, crime
prevention, crime detection, and prosecution and rehabilitation of
offenders.
Moreover, the Department conducts all suits in the Supreme Court in
which the United States is concerned. It represents the Government in
legal matters generally, rendering legal advice and opinions, upon
request, to the President and to the heads of the executive
departments. The Attorney General supervises and directs these
activities, as well as those of the U.S. attorneys and U.S. marshals
in the various judicial districts around the country.
The Department of Justice was established by act of June 22, 1870 (28
U.S.C. 501, 503), with the Attorney General as its head. Prior to 1870
the Attorney General was a member of the President's Cabinet, but not
the head of a department, the office having been created under
authority of act of September 24, 1789, as amended (28 U.S.C. 503).
The affairs and activities of the Department of Justice are generally
directed by the Attorney General. The offices, divisions, bureaus, and
boards of the Department are described below.

#CARD
Attorney General The Attorney General, as head of the Department of
Justice and chief law enforcement officer of the Federal Government,
represents the United States in legal matters generally and gives
advice and opinions to the President and to the heads of the executive
departments of the Government when so requested. The Attorney General
appears in person to represent the Government before the U.S. Supreme
Court in cases of exceptional gravity or importance.
Deputy Attorney General The Deputy Attorney General advises and
assists the Attorney General in formulating and implementing
Department policies and programs and in providing overall supervision
and direction to all organizational units of the Department. The
Deputy Attorney General is authorized to exercise all the power and
authority of the Attorney General, except where such power or
authority is prohibited by law from delegation or has been delegated
to another official. In the absence of the Attorney General, the
Deputy Attorney General acts as Attorney General.

Solicitor General The Solicitor General represents the U.S. Government
in cases before the Supreme Court. He decides what cases the
Government should ask the Supreme Court to review and what position
the Government should take in cases before the Court. Also, he
supervises the preparation of the Government's Supreme Court briefs
and other legal documents and the conduct of the oral arguments in the
Court. He or his staff argue most of the Government's cases in the
Supreme Court. The Solicitor General's duties also include deciding
whether the United States should appeal in all cases it loses before
the lower courts.
#ENDCARD
#CARD
Legal Counsel The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Office
of Legal Counsel assists the Attorney General in his function as legal
adviser to the President and all the executive branch agencies. The
Office drafts legal opinions of the Attorney General rendered in
response to requests from the President and heads of the executive
departments. It also provides its own written opinions and informal
advice in response to requests from the various agencies of the
Government as well as offices within the Department and from
Presidential staff and advisers. Such requests typically deal with
legal issues of particular complexity and importance about which two
or more agencies are in disagreement or with pending legislation. The
Office also is responsible for providing legal advice to the executive
branch on all constitutional questions.
All Executive orders and proclamations proposed to be issued by the
President are reviewed by the Office of Legal Counsel for form and
legality, as are various other matters that require the President's
formal approval.
In addition to serving as, in effect, outside counsel for the other
agencies of the executive branch, the Office of Legal Counsel also
functions as general counsel for the Department itself. It reviews all
proposed orders of the Attorney General and all regulations requiring
his approval.
The Office coordinates the work of the Department with respect to
treaties, executive agreements, and international organizations. It
performs a variety of special assignments referred by the Attorney
General or the Deputy Attorney General.
The Office of Legal Counsel is not authorized to give legal advice to
private persons.
#ENDCARD
#CARD
Legislative Affairs The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the
Office of Legislative Affairs is responsible for liaison between the
Department and Congress. The Office prepares reports and
recommendations with respect to pending legislation originating in the
Department of Justice or elsewhere in the Government. The Office
coordinates all departmental efforts to advise the Congress on
departmental views, secure enactment of the Department's legislative
agenda, and assist departmental and judicial nominees in the
confirmation process.
Policy Development The Office of Policy Development was created in
1989 to enhance the central management of the Department of Justice by
functioning as a focal point for the development and coordination of
departmental policy.
Acting under the direction of the Attorney General, the Office
develops and coordinates mid- and long-range planning and policy
development within the Department, including legal research and
analysis necessary to support major Department initiatives. The Office
also coordinates the review of legislative and regulatory initiatives.
In coordinating the development of policy positions within the
Department, the Office of Policy Development functions to bring
together the best ideas, programs, and policy initiatives from all
areas of the Department's responsibilities for consideration by the
Attorney General and the Department's senior management.

Pardon Attorney The Office of the Pardon Attorney, in consultation
with the Attorney General or his designee, assists the President in
the exercise of Executive clemency as authorized under Article II,
section 2, of the Constitution. Generally, all requests for Executive
clemency are directed to the Pardon Attorney for investigation and
review. Executive clemency may take several forms, including pardon,
commutation, remission of fine, and reprieve.

Community Relations Service The Service was created by title X of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000g et seq.). It is under the
general authority of the Attorney General and is headed by a Director,
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The Service fulfills its mission by providing onsite dispute
resolution assistance through its field staff of mediators and
conciliators working out of 10 regional offices and 3 field offices.
Under its mandate it is not restricted to issues stemming from alleged
violations of a particular antidiscrimination statute, but can offer
assistance in resolving any dispute relating to race, color, or
national origin discrimination. The Service not only aids in resolving
disputes and difficulties as they erupt but also seeks to assist and
support communities in developing local mechanisms to address future
problems.
Primary activities of the Service include the use of conciliation
and/or mediation processes to settle differences through mutual
understanding and voluntary action. Each process is composed of
certain specialized techniques designed to deal with complex racial
and ethnic issues. The goal of each, however, is the immediate
reduction of community tension and the establishment of viable
alternatives for resolving difficulties, short of coercion, violence,
or litigation.
In conciliation, trained Service experts serve as outside resources,
providing an independent, objective perspective, as well as making
recommendations for settlement of the issues involved. Mediation is a
more formal process in which the professional mediator acts as a
neutral facilitator for negotiations, assisting disputants to reach a
mutually satisfactory settlement, with built-in, self-enforcing
mechanisms. Inherent in both processes is the technical assistance
that the Service provides. This ranges from conducting training in
conflict resolution to providing resource materials, program tools,
and models indicating how other community groups or agencies have
dealt effectively with similar problems or issues.
The Service offers its assistance either on its own motion, when in
its judgment peaceful relations among the citizens of a community are
threatened, or upon request of State or local officials or other
interested persons. The Service seeks the cooperation of appropriate
State and local, public and private agencies in carrying out the
agency's mission.
The Service also is responsible for continuing efforts to integrate
into the United States almost 180,000 Cubans and Haitians who have
entered the country since 1980 without documentation or imminent
prospects of returning to their homelands. Effective March 6, 1983, it
assumed responsibility for the Cuban/Haitian Reception Processing
Program, substantially increasing its role in assisting with
refugee-immigrant problems. This program was authorized by section
501(c) of the Refugee Education Assistance Act of 1980 (8 U.S.C. 1522
note) and was formerly administered by the Office of Refugee

U.S. Trustee Program The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. 101
et seq.) established the U.S. Trustee Program as a pilot effort in 10
geographic areas encompassing 18 Federal judicial districts. The
program was expanded nationwide by the Bankruptcy Judges, United
States Trustee, and Family Farmer Act of 1986 (28 U.S.C. 581 note).
The mission of the U.S. Trustees is to ensure compliance with the
bankruptcy laws and to supervise the administration of bankruptcy
cases and trustees, leaving traditional judicial functions as the sole
concern of bankruptcy judges. The program is funded by the United
States Trustee System Fund, which consists of fees assessed against
those invoking the protections of the bankruptcy laws.
The U.S. Trustees administer three of the four types of bankruptcy
proceedings defined under the Bankruptcy Code. These are:
proceedings under chapter 7 in which the assets of the debtor are
liquidated;
reorganization proceedings under chapter 11 for rehabilitation of the
business debtor; and
adjustment of debts of an individual with regular income under
chapter 13, pursuant to which an individual can discharge debts by
arranging for payments over a period of time, usually not to exceed 36
months. The U.S. Trustee has no significant role in proceedings under
chapter 9, which relates to the adjustment of debts of a
municipality.
Specific responsibilities of the U.S. Trustees include:
appointing and supervising the performance of private trustees in
individual cases;
appointing and convening creditors' committees in chapter 11
corporate reorganization cases;
reviewing applications for the retention of professionals and the
payment of fees;
reviewing disclosure statements and submitting statements to the
court regarding their adequacy;
appointing trustees or examiners in such cases as needed;
recommending court approval of trustees or examiners in such cases as
needed;
ensuring that the assets involved in bankruptcy cases are protected
during the administration of cases;
serving as trustees in chapter 7 and 13 cases where private trustees
are unwilling to serve; and
advocating matters relating to the Bankruptcy Code in court.
Executive Office for U.S. Trustees The Attorney General is charged
with the appointment, supervision, and coordination of the U.S.
Trustees and Assistant U.S. Trustees. Day-to-day policy and legal
direction, coordination, and control are provided by the Director of
the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees. The Executive Office also
provides administrative and management support to individual U.S.
Trustee Offices.

Antitrust Division
The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division is
responsible for promoting and maintaining competitive markets by
enforcing the Federal antitrust laws. Such enforcement, which is the
principal function of the Division, involves investigating possible
antitrust violations, conducting grand jury proceedings, preparing and
trying antitrust cases, prosecuting appeals, and negotiating and
enforcing final judgments. The antitrust laws affect virtually all
industries and apply to every phase of business, including
manufacturing, transportation, distribution, and marketing. They
prohibit a variety of practices that restrain trade, such as
price-fixing conspiracies, corporate mergers likely to reduce the
competitive vigor of particular markets, and predatory acts designed
to achieve or maintain monopoly power. The Division prosecutes serious
and willful violations of the antitrust laws by filing criminal suits
that can lead to large fines and jail sentences. Where criminal
prosecution is not appropriate, the Division seeks a court order
forbidding future violations of the law and requiring steps by the
defendant to remedy the anticompetitive effects of past violations.
The Division also is responsible for acting as an advocate of
competition within the Federal Government. This involves formal
appearances in Federal administrative agency proceedings, development
of legislative initiatives to promote deregulation and eliminate
unjustifiable exemptions from the antitrust laws, participation on
executive branch policy task forces, and publication of reports on
regulated industry performance. The Division provides formal advice to
other agencies on the competitive implications of proposed
transactions requiring Federal approval, such as construction of
nuclear powerplants and mergers of financial institutions. It also
consults with Federal agencies on a variety of other matters,
including the issuance of Federal coal and oil drilling leases and the
disposition of surplus Government property.
In addition, the Antitrust Division represents the United States in
judicial proceedings to review certain orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Federal Maritime Commission, Federal
Communications Commission, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and
provides direct court representation for the Secretary of the Treasury
in certain Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms cases. It also
participates in Federal Trade Commission cases before the Supreme
Court.
In the international law area, the Division represents the United
States on the Committee on Competition Law and Policy of the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, participates in
the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and, through
the Department of State, maintains liaison with foreign governments on
antimonopoly laws and policies.

Civil Division
The Civil Division represents the United States, its departments and
agencies, Members of Congress, Cabinet officers, and other Federal
employees. Its litigation reflects the diversity of government
activities, involving, for example, the defense of challenges to
Presidential actions; national security issues; benefit programs;
energy policies; commercial issues such as contract disputes, banking,
insurance, patents, fraud, and debt collection; all manner of accident
and liability claims; and criminal violations of the immigration and
consumer protection laws. Each year, Division attorneys handle
thousands of cases that collectively involve billions of dollars in
claims and recoveries. The Division confronts significant policy
issues, which often rise to constitutional dimensions, in defending
and enforcing various Federal programs and actions.
The Civil Division litigates cases in all Federal district courts, the
U.S. Courts of Appeals, the U.S. Claims Court, other Federal and State
courts, and the courts of foreign nations. Division attorneys either
conduct this litigation directly or they supervise or assist the U.S.
attorneys and foreign counsel to whom the Division refers the cases.
The Division is composed of seven major groups: the Torts Branch, the
Commercial Litigation Branch, the Federal Programs Branch, the
Appellate Staff, the Office of Consumer Litigation, the Office of
Immigration Litigation, and an Office of Management Programs.
Torts The Torts Branch is responsible for suits under the Federal Tort
Claims Act, including medical malpractice, aviation disasters,
environmental and occupational disease, and radiation and toxic
substance exposure. It also handles maritime litigation and suits that
seek personal money judgments against individual officers or
employees.
Tort litigation more specifically includes the defense of all Federal
Tort Claims Act suits against the United States or cost-plus-fixed-fee
Government contractors, and the prosecution of suits in tort on behalf
of the United States. Suits and administrative claims for death,
personal injury, and property damage brought under the Tort Claims Act
allege negligence on the part of Government employees acting within
the scope of their employment and involve matters such as the
operation of Government vehicles, the maintenance of Government
premises, and the performance of Federal services and regulatory
functions such as medical treatment, hospital care, and the control of
civilian, military, and commercial air traffic. In addition, the Torts
Branch defends petitions filed pursuant to the Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program and is responsible for administering the
Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.
Tort litigation also includes all legal proceedings involving the
United States related to ships, shipping, navigable waters, and
workmen's compensation. The Division's admiralty litigation includes
suits for personal injury and property damage involving vessels, shore
installations, and maritime personnel, equipment, and cargoes; suits
arising out of contracts involving shipping, chartering of vessels,
and the construction, repair, and salvaging of vessels; proceedings to
enforce navigation and shipping laws; and litigation based on
international maritime agreements.
Commercial Litigation The Commercial Litigation Branch is responsible
for litigation associated with the Government's diverse financial
involvements.
This litigation includes all monetary suits involving contracts,
expressed or implied; actions to foreclose on Government mortgages and
liens; bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings; and suits against
guarantors and sureties.
Branch attorneys bring suit under the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C.
3729) and related statutes for the recovery of treble damages and
civil penalties, or comparable remedies, upon proof of loss to the
Government sustained through fraud in the award or performance of
Government contracts, false claims presented in connection with
Federal programs, the submission of false statements and vouchers to
Government agencies, and the use of other fraudulent devices in
transactions with the Government. They also bring suits to recover
sums paid to bribe Government officials and kickbacks in Government
procurement.
The Branch is responsible for all cases in the U.S. Court of
International Trade, including suits brought by importers of
merchandise to challenge the appraisement or classification of
imported goods or other decisions of the U.S. Customs Service in its
administration of the tariff laws and schedules.
The Branch has responsibility for all litigation in the U.S. Claims
Court except for those cases assigned to the Environment and Natural
Resources Division and the Tax Division. Included are:
patent cases and suits arising out of construction, procurement,
service contracts, and claims associated with contract terminations;
claims involving freight rate disputes arising out of the
transportation of Government property;
claims for just compensation under the fifth amendment;
claims for salary or retirement by civilian and military personnel;
and
cases assigned by congressional reference or special legislation.
Likewise, Branch attorneys handle the majority of cases before the
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This litigation involves
appeals of decisions made by the U.S. Claims Court, Boards of Contract
Appeals, the Merit Systems Protection Board, and Federal district
courts.
The Branch handles all litigation involving the rights, liabilities,
and administrative functions of the Government with respect to patent,
copyright, and trademark matters. This includes:
defense of patent infringement suits based on the liability of the
United States for infringements in connection with the performance of
Government contracts;
legal proceedings to establish Government priority of invention;
suits for specific performance to require transfer of rights and
title and payment of royalties;
suits to cancel patents acquired by fraud upon the Patent Office;
defense of administrative acts of the Register of Copyrights; and
actions on behalf of the Government involving the use of trademarks.
The Branch is also responsible for all legal proceedings in foreign
tribunals against diplomatic and consular agents of the United States
and civilian or military personnel stationed abroad who are being sued
for acts that they have performed in the course of their Government
service. Additionally, the Branch renders international judicial
assistance to foreign and international tribunals.
Federal Programs The Federal Programs Branch defends and asserts the
programs, policies, and decisions of virtually all Federal departments
and agencies, the President, Cabinet officers, Members of Congress,
and other Government officials. It defends against constitutional
challenges to statutes, suits to overturn Government policies and
programs, and challenges to the legality of Government decisions.
These suits typically seek injunctive and declaratory relief and range
from objections to the way that the Government deals with its
employees to allegations that the President has violated the
Constitution or Federal law. The Branch also initiates suits to
enforce regulatory statutes and to remedy or prevent statutory or
regulatory violations.
The areas of litigation include:
defense of suits against the heads of Federal departments and
agencies and other government officials to enjoin official actions, as
well as suits for judicial review of administrative decisions, orders,
and regulations;
defense and prosecution of suits involving national security,
including suits to protect sensitive intelligence sources and
materials;
prosecution of suits to prevent interference with Government
operations;
litigation concerning the constitutionality of Federal legislation;
and
defense of suits involving specialized statutes, such as the Freedom
of Information Act, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and the
Privacy Act.
Appellate Staff The Appellate Staff has primary responsibility for the
litigation of Civil Division cases in the appellate courts. The Staff
prepares Government briefs and presents oral argument for the cases.
Additionally, the Appellate Staff participates in drafting all
documents filed for these cases in the United States Supreme Court,
including briefs on the merits, petitions for certiorari, and
jurisdictional statements.
Consumer Litigation The Office of Consumer Litigation is responsible
for litigation and related matters arising under various consumer
protection statutes, including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Consumer Product Safety
Act, the Hazardous Substances Act, and the Truth in Lending Act. The
Office also serves as a liaison with other Federal agencies and with
local enforcement agencies for the referral of consumer complaints
outside the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice.
Immigration Litigation The Office of Immigration Litigation is
responsible for conducting civil litigation under the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101) and related laws and for representing
the United States in civil litigation brought against employees of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service. In addition, this Office
handles district court litigation, deportation review proceedings,
habeas corpus review and general advice, and immigration-related
appellate matters. The Office is also responsible for cases pertaining
to the issuance of visas and passports, and for litigation arising
under the amnesty and employer sanctions provisions of the Immigration
Reform and Control Act of 1986 (8 U.S.C. 1255a, 1324a).
Management Programs The Office of Management Programs provides
management and administrative services to the Division, including
policy analysis and planning, administrative management, budget
formulation and execution, management information systems, office
automation, and automated litigation support.

Civil Rights Division
The Civil Rights Division, headed by an Assistant Attorney General,
was established in 1957 in response to the need to secure effective
Federal enforcement of civil rights.
This Division is responsible for enforcing Federal civil rights laws
that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, national origin,
religion, and, in some instances, sex or handicap in the areas of
voting, education, employment, housing, credit, the use of public
facilities and public accommodations, and in the administration of
federally assisted programs. The congressional statutes enforced are,
inter alia, the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 (42 U.S.C. 1975), 1960 (42
U.S.C. 1971, 1974), 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000a-h), and 1968 (42 U.S.C. 245,
42 U.S.C. 3601 3619, 3631), the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 1971, 1973), the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of
1974 (20 U.S.C. 1701 1720), the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as
amended in 1976 (15 U.S.C. 1691), the Civil Rights of
Institutionalized Persons Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 1997), and the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 note).
Additionally, the Division is responsible for the implementation of
Executive Order 12250 of November 2, 1980, which requires coordination
of efforts of executive agencies and departments to eliminate
discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion,
and handicap in programs receiving Federal financial assistance and
discrimination based on handicap in federally conducted programs.
The Civil Rights Division also has the obligation to enforce specific
criminal statutes including those concerning willful deprivation of
constitutional rights under color of law or through conspiracy,
involuntary servitude, and violent interference with federally
protected activities (18 U.S.C. 241, 242, 245, 1584).
Finally, the Division is responsible for implementing section 105 of
the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which entitles many Japanese
Americans who were interned or relocated during World War II to
receive restitution.
The Civil Rights Division is composed of eight major organizational
sections and an administrative component. Each of the eight litigating
sections has jurisdiction over particular subject areas and related
statutes, except for the appellate section, which handles most appeals
involving all areas of Division litigation. With the approval of the
Assistant Attorney General and, where necessary, the Attorney General
and Solicitor General, each litigating section undertakes or
authorizes investigations, conducts negotiations, and initiates and
conducts litigation. One section is specifically responsible for
coordinating Federal efforts as called for by Executive Order 12250,
and for the implementation of titles II and III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990.

Division, Department of Justice, Tenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue

Criminal Division
The Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division
formulates criminal law enforcement policies, and enforces and

Environment and Natural Resources Division
The Environment and Natural Resources Division represents the United
States in litigation involving public lands and natural resources,
environmental quality, Indian lands and claims, and wildlife
resources. The fastest growing area of responsibility involves civil
and criminal enforcement of environmental statutes. Although the cases
filed by the Division in the area of hazardous chemical wastes are the
most visible and complex, enforcement of the clean air and water laws
is also a prominent part of the docket. Thus, the Division brings
civil and criminal enforcement cases primarily on behalf of the
Environmental Protection Agency for the control and abatement of
pollution of air and water resources, the regulation and control of
toxic substances, as well as the environmental hazards posed by
hazardous wastes. In the hazardous waste area, most cases are brought
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9601), as amended by the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 9601 note), for
the purposes of protecting public health and ensuring that responsible
parties, rather than the public, bear the burden of abating hazardous
waste pollution.
The various environmental enforcement statutes also generate a great
deal of defensive litigation since many of the provisions of those
laws also apply to Federal programs or activities. This litigation
generally falls into one of two categories: suits by industry and
environmental groups challenging agency regulations, or challenges to
agency decisions relating to individual activities such as permits,
grants, and variances.
The Division is also responsible for prosecuting and defending
criminal and civil cases arising under the Federal wildlife laws and
laws concerning the conservation and management of marine fish and
mammals. Prosecutions focus on major smugglers of and black market
dealers in protected species.
In addition, the Division represents the United States in cases where
the Government supports rights claimed by individual Indians or Indian
tribes. These include suits to establish water rights, to establish
and protect hunting and fishing rights, to collect damages for
trespassing on Indian lands, and to establish reservation boundaries
and rights to land.
For much of the Division's 75-year history, its litigation has
principally involved the management and development of the lands and
resources owned by the United States. The Division acquires land for
the Federal Government, either by direct purchase or condemnation
proceedings, and seeks to implement the protections of the fifth
amendment in a way that is fair to both property owners and
taxpayers.

Tax Division
The Tax Division represents the United States and its officers in all
civil and criminal litigation arising under the internal revenue
laws, other than proceedings in the United States Tax Court. While the
Division's primary client is the Internal Revenue Service, it also
represents Federal officials and employees in actions arising out of
the performance of their official duties, as well as representing
other Federal departments and agencies in their dealings with State
and local tax authorities. In civil tax litigation the Division's
responsibility involves cases in the United States District Courts,
the United States Claims Court, the United States Courts of Appeals,
and the United States Supreme Court, as well as cases in the State
courts.
The Division represents the United States in many different types of
disputes, both civil and criminal, dealing with the interpretation of
Federal tax laws. For example, when the Internal Revenue Service
challenges a tax return and determines a deficiency, the taxpayer may
pay the full amount of tax assessed and then bring a suit against the
Government for refund. The Division defends the Government in these
refund actions.
Other areas of civil litigation in which the Tax Division is involved
on behalf of the Federal Government include:
suits brought by individuals to foreclose mortgages or to quiet title
to property in which the United States is named as a party defendant
because of the existence of a Federal tax lien on the property;
suits brought by the United States to collect unpaid assessments, to
foreclose Federal tax liens or determine the priority of such liens,
to obtain judgments against delinquent taxpayers, to enforce
summonses, and to establish tax claims in bankruptcy, receivership, or
probate proceedings;
proceedings involving mandamus, injunctions, and other specific writs
arising in connection with internal revenue matters;
suits against Internal Revenue Service employees for damages claimed
because of alleged injuries caused in the performance of their
official duties;
suits against the Secretary of the Treasury, the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, or similar officials to test the validity of
regulations or rulings not in the context of a specific refund
action;
suits brought by the United States to enjoin the promotion of abusive
tax shelters and to enjoin activities relating to aiding and abetting
the understatement of tax liabilities of others;
suits brought by taxpayers for a judicial determination of the
reasonableness of a jeopardy or termination assessment and the
appropriateness of the amount;
proceedings brought against the Tax Division and the Internal Revenue
Service for disclosure of information under the Freedom of Information
Act; and
intergovernmental immunity suits in which the United States resists
attempts to apply a State or local tax to some activity or property of
the United States.
The Division also collects judgments in tax cases. To this end, t
he Division directs collection efforts and coordinates with, monitors
the efforts of, and provides assistance to the various United States
attorneys' offices in collecting outstanding judgments in tax cases.
With respect to criminal tax litigation, the Division prosecutes or
supervises the prosecution of all criminal offenses committed under
the internal revenue laws, including attempts to evade and defeat
taxes, willful failure to file returns and to pay taxes, filing false
returns and other deceptive documents, making false statements to
revenue officials, and other miscellaneous offenses involving internal
revenue matters. These duties include the institution of criminal
proceedings and collaboration with U.S. attorneys in the conduct of
litigation in the trial and appellate courts. Further, Tax Division
attorneys frequently conduct grand jury investigations and actual
trials of criminal tax cases, often as a result of requests for
assistance by the appropriate U.S. attorney. In its efforts to deter
willful deception through prosecution of criminal offenders, the Tax
Division also plays a significant role in curbing organized crime,
public corruption, narcotics trafficking, and most recently, financial
institution fraud.
The primary functions of the Division are to aid the Internal Revenue
Service in collecting the Federal revenue and to establish principles
of law that will serve as guidelines to taxpayers and their
representatives, as well as to the Internal Revenue Service, in the
administration of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, coordination
with the Internal Revenue Service's administrative policies and the
Treasury Department's legislative tax concerns in developing
litigating postures is essential.
The Division also provides input into the preparation of reports to
the Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of
Legislative Affairs on pending or proposed legislation and monitors
congressional activities with respect to matters of interest to the
Division.
In accordance with the Attorney General's program to enhance the
litigating skills of Department attorneys, the Division conducts
training programs for its attorneys, with special emphasis on matters
unique to tax litigation and the development of advocacy skills.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the principal
investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice. It is
charged with gathering and reporting facts, locating witnesses, and
compiling evidence in cases involving Federal jurisdiction.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation was established in 1908 by the
Attorney General, who directed that Department of Justice
investigations be handled by its own staff. The Bureau is charged with
investigating all violations of Federal law except those that have
been assigned by legislative enactment or otherwise to another Federal
agency. Its jurisdiction includes a wide range of responsibilities in
the criminal, civil, and security fields. Priority has been assigned
to the six areas that affect society the most organized crime, drugs,
counterterrorism, white-collar crime, foreign counterintelligence, and
violent crime.
On January 28, 1982, the Attorney General assigned concurrent
jurisdiction for the enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act (21
U.S.C. 801) to the Bureau and the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA). The DEA Administrator reports to the Attorney General through
the FBI Director.
The Bureau also offers cooperative services such as fingerprint
identification, laboratory examination, police training, and the
National Crime Information Center to duly authorized law enforcement
agencies.
The Bureau headquarters in Washington, DC, consists of 10 separate
divisions, a Deputy Director, 2 Associate Deputy Directors, an Office
of Public Affairs, a Congressional Affairs Office, an Office of
Liaison and International Affairs, an Office of Equal Employment
Opportunity Affairs, and a Director's staff.
The Bureau's investigations are conducted through 56 field offices.
Most of its investigative personnel are trained at the FBI Academy in
Quantico, VA.

Bureau of Prisons
320 First Street NW., Washington, DC 20534. Phone, 202 307 3198
The mission of the Bureau of Prisons is to protect society by carrying
out the judgments of the Federal courts through providing confinement
services to committed offenders and to provide program opportunities
to all inmates who qualify and who wish to participate. This
confinement function complements other sentencing options available to
Federal judges.
The Bureau's mission includes the responsibility to maintain secure,
safe, and humane correctional institutions for individuals placed in
the care and custody of the Attorney General; develop and operate
correctional programs that seek a balanced application of the concepts
of punishment, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation; and
provide, primarily through the National Institute of Corrections,
assistance to State and local correctional agencies.
The Executive Office of the Director provides overall direction for
agency operations. In addition to typical administrative functions
performed by an agency head, the Offices of General Counsel and
Internal Affairs are within the Office and report to the Director.
The Administration Division develops plans, programs, and policies
concerning the acquisition, construction, and staffing of new
facilities, as well as budget development, financial management,
procurement, and contracting.
The Correctional Programs Division is responsible for managing the
correctional services (security) operations in Bureau institutions,
community corrections programs, and case and unit management, as well
as religious and psychological services, and inmate systems.
Federal Prison Industries (trade name UNICOR) is a wholly-owned Gover
nment corporation whose mission is to provide employment and training
opportunities for inmates confined in Federal correctional facilities.
UNICOR manufactures a wide range of items from executive and systems
furniture to electronics, textiles and graphics/signage. Services
performed by UNICOR's inmates include data entry, printing, and
furniture refinishing. The corporation funds selected preindustrial,
vocational, and experimental training programs.
The Health Services Division has oversight responsibility for all
medical programs and environmental, health, safety, and sanitation
services in Bureau institutions. This Division also is responsible for
food services, farm operations, and inmate accident compensation
programs.
The Human Resources Division provides personnel, training, and labor
management within the agency. Its functions also include pay and
position management and recruitment.
The National Institute of Corrections provides advisory and technical
support to State and local correctional agencies throughout the
country. The Institute also operates the National Academy of
Corrections, the Institute Information Center, and the National Jail
Center, all of which are currently located in Boulder, CO. The
Institute receives logistical support from the Bureau of Prisons but
is a separate budget entity.
The Program Review Division is responsible for oversight of agency
audit functions and manages an internal control branch for training of
auditors and coordinating the year-end assurance statement to the
Attorney General. This Division has a program analysis branch,
coordinating in-depth analysis of audit outcomes and recommending
necessary management changes in accord with those findings. The inmate
grievance (administrative remedy) procedure is operated out of this
division as well as strategic planning.
On February 20, 1991, the Attorney General established the
Information, Policy and Public Affairs Division, encompassing the
Bureau's Information Systems, Policy Review, Research and Evaluation,
Security Technology, and Office of Public Affairs.
The establishment of the Community Corrections and Detention Division
was also approved by the Attorney General on February 20, 1991. This
Division is responsible for the Bureau's Community Corrections and
Detention Programs, Contract Services, Administration, and Program
Development.
The Bureau is subdivided into six geographic regions, each staffed
with field-qualified personnel who are responsible for policy
development and oversight, providing operational guidance to field
locations, and providing support functions in areas such as auditing,
technical assistance, budget, and personnel. Each regional office is
headed by an experienced career Bureau manager who is a full member of
the Bureau's Executive Staff.

United States Marshals Service
600 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA 22202 4210. Phone, 202 307 9000
The United States Marshals Service is the Nation's oldest Federal law
enforcement agency, having served as a vital link between the
executive and judicial branches of the Government since 1789. Today,
the Presidentially appointed marshals and their support staff of just
over 3,000 deputy marshals and administrative personnel operate from
427 office locations in all 94 Federal judicial districts nationwide,
from Guam to Puerto Rico, and from Alaska to Florida.
The Marshals Service performs tasks that are essential to the
operation of virtually every aspect of the Federal justice system. The
Service is responsible for:
providing support and protection for the Federal courts, including
security for 560 judicial facilities and nearly 1,900 judges and
magistrates, as well as countless other trial participants such as
jurors and attorneys;
apprehending most Federal fugitives;
operating the Federal Witness Security program, ensuring the safety
of endangered government witnesses;
maintaining custody of and transporting thousands of Federal
prisoners annually;
executing court orders and arrest warrants;
seizing, managing, and selling property forfeited to the Government
by drug traffickers and other criminals, and operating the Justice
Department's National Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Program; and
responding to emergency circumstances, including civil disturbances,
terrorist incidents, and other crisis situations, through its Special
Operations Group, and restoring order in riot and mob-violence
situations.
The Director of the U.S. Marshals Service, who is appointed by the
President, supervises the operations of the Service throughout the
United States and its territories. The Deputy Director for Operations
oversees the Service's enforcement, court security, witness
protection, prisoner transportation, and asset seizure and forfeiture
activities. The Deputy Director for Administration is responsible for
personnel management; procurement and property management; space,
transportation, and communications; information systems; and the U.S.

United States National Central Bureau-International Criminal Police
Organization
Washington, DC 20530. Phone, 202 272 8383
The U.S. National Central Bureau (USNCB) represents the United States
in INTERPOL, the International Criminal Police Organization. Also
known as Interpol-Washington, the USNCB provides an essential
communications link between the U.S. police community and their
counterparts in the foreign member countries.
INTERPOL is an association of 154 countries dedicated to promoting
mutual assistance among law enforcement authorities in the prevention
and suppression of international crime. With no police force of its
own, INTERPOL has no powers of arrest or search and seizure. Instead,
INTERPOL serves as a channel of communication among the police of the
member countries, and provides a forum for discussions, working group
meetings, and symposia to enable police to focus on specific areas of
criminal activity affecting their countries.
United States participation in INTERPOL began in 1938 by congressional
authorization, designating the Attorney General as the official
representative to the organization. INTERPOL operations were
interrupted during World War II, but resumed in 1947.
The Attorney General officially designated the Secretary of the
Treasury as the U.S. representative to INTERPOL in 1958, and the U.S.
National Central Bureau was established within the Treasury Department
in 1969. In 1977, an arrangement was effected between Justice and
Treasury officials establishing dual authority in administering the
USNCB. This Memorandum of Understanding designates the Attorney
General as the permanent representative to INTERPOL and the Secretary
of the Treasury as the alternate representative.
The Bureau operates through cooperative efforts with Federal, State,
and local law enforcement agencies. New programs and initiatives, such
as the State Liaison Program, the Airport/Seaport Program, and the
Canadian Interface Project, broaden the scope of U.S. investigative
resources to include the international community, thus forming an
integral part of the United States efforts to confront the problem of
international crime.
Federal and State law enforcement agencies represented at the USNCB
include the Federal Bureau of Investigation; U.S. Marshals Service;
Drug Enforcement Administration; Immigration and Naturalization
Service; Criminal Division, U.S. Customs Service; U.S. Secret Service;
Internal Revenue Service; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms;
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency; Office of the Inspector
General, Department of Agriculture; U.S. Postal Inspection Service;
Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Department of State; Naval
Investigative Service; and the Illinois State Police.
Under the State Liaison Program, States establish an office within th
eir own law enforcement community to serve as liaison to the USNCB.
International leads developed in criminal investigations being
conducted by a State or local police entity can be pursued through
their Liaison Office, and criminal investigative requests from abroad
are funneled through the relevant State liaison office for action by
the appropriate State or local agency. All 50 States now participate
in the liaison program, which is currently coordinated by a
representative from the Illinois State Police.
The USNCB has three sub-bureaus which serve to more effectively addre
ss the law enforcement needs of U.S. territories. The sub-bureaus are
located in San Juan, Puerto Rico; Pago Pago, American Samoa; and the
U.S. Virgin Islands.

[For the Immigration and Naturalization Service statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 8, Part 100]
The Immigration and Naturalization Service was created by act of March
3, 1891 (8 U.S.C. 1551 note), and its purpose and responsibilities
were further specified by the Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended (8 U.S.C. 1101 note), which charges the Attorney General with
the administration and enforcement of its provisions.
Unique to the Service is the dual mission of providing information and
service to the general public, while concurrently exercising its
enforcement responsibilities.
Its mission is divided into four major areas of responsibility:
facilitating the entry of persons legally admissible as visitors or
as immigrants to the United States;
granting benefits under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended, including providing assistance to those seeking permanent
resident status or naturalization;
preventing unlawful entry, employment, or receipt of benefits by
those who are not entitled to them; and
apprehending or removing those aliens who enter or remain illegally
in the United States and/or whose stay is not in the public interest.
The Service also has a firm commitment to strengthen criminal
investigations and seek the most effective deterrents to illegal
immigration.
The Attorney General has delegated authority to the Commissioner of
the Immigration and Naturalization Service to carry out a national
immigration policy that will administer and enforce the immigration
laws and promote and protect the public health and safety, economic
welfare, national security, and humanitarian interests of this
country.
The Immigration Act of 1990 (8 U.S.C. 1101 note) represents a major
overhaul of immigration law, amending the Immigration and Nationality
Act. Changes include revisions to the numerical limits and preference
system regulating immigration, administrative naturalization
empowering the Attorney General to issue final determinations on
applications for U.S. citizenship, and administering the oath of
citizenship and issuing certificates of naturalization.

Drug Enforcement Administration
600 700 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA 22202. Phone, 202 307 1000;
FTS, 367 1000
The Drug Enforcement Administration is the lead Federal agency in
enforcing narcotics and controlled substances laws and regulations. It
was created in July 1973, by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973 (5
U.S.C. app.), which merged four separate drug law enforcement
agencies.
The Administration's priority mission is the long-term immobilization
of major trafficking organizations through the removal of the leaders
and assets upon which these organizations depend.
Its primary responsibilities include:
investigation of major narcotic violators who operate at interstate
and international levels;
enforcement of regulations governing the legal manufacture,
distribution, and dispensing of controlled substances;
management of a national narcotics intelligence system;
coordination with Federal, State, and local law enforcement
authorities and cooperation with counterpart agencies abroad; and
training, scientific research, and information exchange in support of
drug traffic prevention and control.
The Administration manages the El Paso Intelligence Center, a 24-hour
tactical and strategic drug intelligence center that includes all 50
States and 9 other Federal agencies.
The agency concentrates its efforts on high-level narcotics smuggling
and distribution organizations in the United States and abroad,
working closely with such agencies as the Customs Service, the
Internal Revenue Service, and the Coast Guard. It also chairs the
11-agency National Narcotics Intelligence Consumers Committee, which
develops an annual report on drug production, trafficking, and abuse
trends.
Nearly 300 Administration compliance investigators enforce regulation
of the legal manufacture and distribution of prescription drugs. The
agency also maintains an active training program for narcotics
officers in other Federal, State, and local agencies as well as
foreign police.
The Administration has offices throughout the United States and in 48
foreign countries.

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) was established by the Justice
Assistance Act of 1984 and reauthorized in 1988 to serve as the
principal Federal agency responsible for maximizing efficiency and
effectiveness in the Nation's criminal justice system. The Office is a
small agency with an important mission: identifying emerging criminal
justice issues; developing and testing promising approaches to address
these issues; evaluating program results, and disseminating these
findings and other information to State and local governments.
The Office is headed by an Assistant Attorney General who, by statute
and delegation of authority from the Attorney General, guides,
promotes, and coordinates policy; focuses efforts on the priorities
established by the President and the Attorney General; and promotes
coordination among the five major bureaus or offices within OJP. These
are: Bureau of Justice Assistance, Bureau of Justice Statistics,
National Institute of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention, and Office for Victims of Crime.
Through the programs developed and financed by its bureaus and
offices, OJP works to form partnerships among Federal, State, and
local government officials to control drug abuse and trafficking,
improve the administration of justice in America, meet the needs of
crime victims, and find innovative ways to address problems such as
gang violence, prison crowding, juvenile crime, and white-collar
crime. The functions of each bureau or office are interrelated. For
example, the statistics generated by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
may drive the research that is conducted through the National
Institute of Justice and the Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention. Research results may generate new programs
that receive support from the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
Although some research and technical assistance is provided directly
by OJP's bureaus and offices, most of the work is accomplished through
Federal financial assistance to scholars, practitioners, and State and
local governments.
Program bureaus and offices award formula grants to State agencies,
which, in turn, subgrant funds to units of State and local government.
Formula grant programs drug control and system improvement, juvenile
justice, victims compensation, and victims assistance are administered
by State agencies designated by each State's Governor. Discretionary
grant programs usually are announced in the Federal Register, and
applications are made directly to the sponsoring Office of Justice
Programs bureau or office.
Bureau of Justice Assistance The Bureau provides financial and
technical assistance to State and local units of government to control
drug abuse, drug trafficking, and violent crime to improve the
criminal justice system.
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 3750), which established
the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance
Programs, authorizes the Bureau to make grants for the purpose of
enforcing State and local laws that establish offenses similar to
those established in the Controlled Substances Act and to improve the
functioning of the criminal justice system, with emphasis on violent
crime and serious offenders. The States are required to prepare a
statewide anti-drug and violent crime strategy as part of their
applications for Formula Grant funds. Federal funds from fiscal year
1990 and prior fiscal years may be used for up to 75 percent of the
total project costs. Fiscal year 1991 and subsequent year
appropriations may be used for up to 50 percent of the total project
costs.
The Bureau uses the Discretionary Grant program to provide State and
local criminal justice agencies with state-of-the-art information on
innovative and effective programs, practices, and techniques through
demonstration projects, training, and technical assistance. For
example, the Bureau is demonstrating effective ways of depriving drug
traffickers of the profit of their activities through the seizure and
forfeiture of drug-related assets, financial investigations, the use
of civil statutes, and the denial of Federal Benefits Programs.
Criminal justice agencies are provided assistance in addressing new
issues and problems, such as the spread of "crack" cocaine, disruption
of clandestine laboratories, and drug testing of criminal offenders.
The Bureau also supports programs that are national or multistate in
scope, such as the National Crime Prevention (McGruff) Campaign.
Discretionary Grant funds are awarded directly by the Bureau and do
not require matching funds.
Direct assistance is also provided by the Bureau through programs such
as the Public Safety Officers' Death Benefits Program, the Emergency
Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Program, the Regional Information
Sharing System, the Mariel Cuban Reimbursement Program, the Federal
Surplus Property Transfer Program, and the Prison Industry
Certification Program.
Bureau of Justice Statistics The Bureau is responsible for collecting,
analyzing, publishing, and disseminating statistical information about
crime, its perpetrators and victims, and the operation of justice
systems at the Federal, State, and local levels of government.
The Bureau also assists State governments in developing capabilities
in criminal justice statistics and improving their criminal justice
records and information systems.
The Bureau provides the President, the Congress, other officials, and
the public with timely and accurate data about crime and the
administration of justice. The Bureau's Report to the Nation on Crime
and Justice presents comprehensive statistical information about crime
and the justice system in a format suitable for the general public. It
publishes concise Special Reports and periodic Bulletins that provide
up-to-date information about various aspects of criminal justice. In
addition, lengthier volumes present detailed analyses of specific
topics.
The National Crime Survey is the largest ongoing statistical series
currently conducted by the Bureau. Using interviews from a large
sample of U.S. households, the Survey measures the rates at which the
Nation's population is victimized by crimes of violence and theft.
Other statistical series cover prison and jail inmates, probation and
parole, adjudication, processing offenders as they move through the
criminal justice system, criminal justice expenditure and employment,
and the Federal justice system.
The Bureau supports a statistical component in the National Criminal
Justice Reference Service. The Justice Statistics Clearinghouse
provides reference services for people requesting information,
maintains a mailing list, and distributes Bureau publications. The
Bureau may be contacted on 800 732 3277 (toll-free).
The Bureau also manages the Drugs and Crime Data Center and
Clearinghouse which gathers and evaluates existing data on drugs and
the justice system; identifies drug enforcement data gaps; operates a
clearinghouse/reference center that serves as a single source for
those in need of drug statistics; and prepares special reports and
tabulations of existing drug data. The Drugs and Crime Data Center and
Clearinghouse may be contacted on 800 666 3332 (toll-free).

National Institute of Justice The Institute is the primary Federal
sponsor of research on crime and its control and is a central resource
for information on innovative approaches in criminal justice. As
mandated by the Justice Assistance Act of 1984, as amended (42 U.S.C.
3711 note), the National Institute sponsors and conducts research,
evaluates policies and practices, demonstrates promising new
approaches, provides training and technical assistance, assesses new
technology for criminal justice, and disseminates its findings to
State and local practitioners and policymakers.
The Institute emphasizes policy-relevant research that responds to the
practical needs of those in the criminal justice system. Working with
State and local practitioners and researchers across the country, the
Institute sponsors research efforts through grants and contracts that
are carried out by universities, private institutions, and State and
local agencies. In addition, it directs a small in-house research
program to provide quick, reliable data on emerging policy issues.
The Institute studies a wide spectrum of issues, ranging from drug
treatment and prevention to drug arrests and interdiction. The
National Institute's research reports and demonstration projects range
from prison construction and user accountability punishments to
innovations in science and technology.
Recent advances produced by Institute research hold the potential
for:
reducing demand for drugs among criminals through court-supervised
drug testing;
reducing victimizations through new police deployment strategies that
lower crime rates and strengthen links to the community;
cutting drug-related robberies and burglaries through police
strategies to stop street-level drug traffickers; and
applying modern construction technologies to corrections construction
that, depending on local conditions, may save between $30,000 and
$40,000 per cell.
The Institute also operates an international information
clearinghouse, the National Criminal Justice Reference Service. The
Service maintains a computerized data base of more than 85,000 books,
reports, articles, and audiovisual materials. Its information
specialists answer queries on a wide range of subjects and facilitate
the exchange of information among criminal justice practitioners and
researchers. The Service may be contacted on 301 251 5500 (Maryland
and District of Columbia residents only); or nationwide on 800 851
3420 (toll-free).
To bring research findings to the people who can put them to use, the
Institute carries out an active communications program. Research
results are published in a variety of formats from summaries to
detailed guides and reports.
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention The Office was
created by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974
(42 U.S.C. 5601) in response to national concern about juvenile crime.
It is the primary Federal agency for addressing juvenile crime and
delinquency and the problem of missing and exploited children. The
Office is comprised of five divisions.
The State Relations and Assistance Division oversees the formula
grants program. States can receive formula grants to help implement
delinquency prevention and system improvement programs, including the
mandates of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as
amended. These mandates include deinstitutionalizing status offenders,
separating juveniles from adult offenders in institutions, and
removing juveniles from adult jails and lockups.
The Special Emphasis Division provides funds directly to public and
private nonprofit agencies and individuals to foster new approaches to
delinquency prevention and control and the improvement of the juvenile
justice system. The Division focuses on such areas as chronic juvenile
offenders, gangs and drug-related juvenile crime, school crime, and
the victimization of children.
The Research and Program Development Division sponsors research about
national trends in juvenile delinquency and drug use, serious juvenile
crime, the causes of delinquency, prevention strategies, and the
juvenile justice system.
The Training and Technical Assistance Division sponsors training for
juvenile justice practitioners and provides technical assistance in
planning, funding, establishing, operating, and evaluating juvenile
delinquency programs. It also applies this research to developing and
testing state-of-the-art programs.
The Information Dissemination Unit conducts a wide variety of
information dissemination activities for the Office in support of its
statutory mandate to serve as a clearinghouse and information center
for the preparation, publication, and dissemination of information on
juvenile delinquency and missing children. This Unit also monitors the
operations of the Juvenile Justice Clearinghouse, which collects,
stores, and disseminates the Office's and other juvenile
justice-related publications. The toll-free telephone number is 1 800
638 8736.
Two programs the Concentration of Federal Efforts Program and the
Missing Children's Program are also under the Office's direction. The
Concentration of Federal Efforts Program coordinates Federal programs
dealing with juvenile delinquency and assists Federal agencies that
have responsibility for delinquency prevention and treatment. It also
promotes interagency cooperation in eliminating duplicate efforts and
provides direction for the use of Federal resources in facilitating a
comprehensive, unified Federal juvenile justice policy.
The Missing Children's Program was created in 1984 by the Missing
Children's Assistance Act to provide Federal leadership in ensuring
that every practical step is taken in recovering missing children,
reuniting them with their families, and prosecuting abductors. The
Program serves as a central focus for research, data collection,
policy development, and information about missing and exploited
children. It also funds the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children, which operates a national toll-free telephone line and
serves as a national information clearinghouse.
Office for Victims of Crime The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)
serves as the Federal focal point for addressing the needs and
improving the treatment of crime victims. This includes carrying out
the activities mandated by the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (VOCA), as
amended (42 U.S.C. 10601 note); monitoring compliance with the
provisions regarding assistance for Federal crime victims of the
Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982; and implementing the
recommendations of the President's Task Force on Victims of Crime, the
Attorney General's Task Force on Family Violence, and the President's
Child Safety Partnership.
The act (VOCA) created a Crime Victims Fund in the U.S. Treasury to
provide Federal financial assistance to State governments to
compensate and assist victims of crime. Monies in the fund come from
fines and penalties assessed on convicted Federal defendants. The
Office awards grants to States to compensate crime victims for
expenses, such as medical costs, resulting from their victimization.
Grants also are awarded to State governments to support State and
local programs that provide direct assistance to crime victims and
their families. Priority for victim assistance funds is given to
programs providing direct services to victims of sexual assualt,
spouse abuse, and child abuse. States also must use grant funds to
assist previously underserved victim populations, such as victims of
drunk drivers or the families of homicide victims.
A small portion of the Crime Victims Fund is available to support
services for victims of Federal crimes. Programs under this initiative
have focused on developing victim assistance services for Federal
crime victims in indian country, creating an emergency fund for use by
U.S. Attorneys Offices to pay for emergency services for Federal crime
victims, and assisting Native American child abuse victims.
In collaboration with other agencies and groups, OVC administers
numerous projects serving the victims of drug-related crimes. The
Office also supports national programs to improve and coordinate
services to crime victims and sponsors conferences and training for
criminal justice practitioners, medical and mental health personnel,
the clergy, and others who work with crime victims and their families.
The National Victims Resource Center, which provides information
concerning victims issues to victims advocates, criminal justice
practitioners, and the public, is funded by OVC. The Center may be
reached on 800 627 6872 (toll-free).

Executive Office for Immigration Review
Falls Church, VA 22041
The Attorney General is responsible for the administration and
enforcement of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C.
1101) and all other laws relating to the immigration and
naturalization of aliens. The Attorney General has delegated certain
aspects of his power and authority for the administration and
interpretation of the immigration laws to the Executive Office for
Immigration Review. The Executive Office for Immigration Review is
completely independent of the Immigration and Naturalization Service,
the body charged with the enforcement of the immigration laws. It
includes the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Office of the Chief
Immigration Judge, and the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing
Officer. It operates under the supervision of the Deputy Attorney
General and is headed by a Director, who is responsible for the
immediate supervision of the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Office
of the Chief Immigration Judge, and the Office of the Chief
Administrative Hearing Officer.
Board of Immigration Appeals The Board of Immigration Appeals is a
quasi-judicial body composed of a Chairman, four members, and a Chief
Attorney-Examiner, who is also an alternate Board member.
Located in Falls Church, VA, the Board hears oral argument only in
that location. The Board is authorized a staff of attorney-advisers
who assist the Board in the preparation of decisions.
The Board has been given nationwide jurisdiction to hear appeals from
decisions entered by district directors of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service and by immigration judges. In addition, the
Board, with approval of the Attorney General, is responsible for
suspension or barring from practice before the Service and the Board
any representatives and attorneys when the public interest so
requires.
Decisions of the Board are binding on all Service officers and
immigration judges unless modified or overruled by the Attorney
General, and are subject to judicial review in the Federal courts. The
majority of appeals reaching the Board involves orders of deportation
and applications for relief from deportation. Other cases before the
Board include the exclusion of aliens applying for admission to the
United States, petitions to classify the status of alien relatives for
the issuance of preference immigrant visas, fines imposed upon
carriers for the violation of the immigration laws, and motions for
reopening and reconsideration of decisions previously rendered.
Upon the filing of an appeal by either party or certification of a
case by the immigration judge or district director, the record of
proceedings is forwarded to the Board. Following a review of the
record and research into questions of law raised by the parties, the
attorney-adviser drafts a proposed order for consideration of the
Board members. He or she frequently confers with individual Board
members concerning the proposed order. Attorney-advisers also assist
in various administrative and support functions. In addition to
developing expertise in the field of immigration law, the
attorney-adviser is often called upon to analyze questions of
constitutional law, State, Federal, and foreign civil and criminal law
and to resolve questions relating to conflicts of law.
Office of the Chief Immigration Judge The Office of the Chief
Immigration Judge is responsible for the general supervision and
direction of the immigration judges in the performance of their
duties. It establishes operational policies for the offices of the
immigration judges and evaluates the performance of those offices.
Located in Falls Church, VA, the Office of the Chief Immigration Judge
includes a headquarters staff of management and legal personnel.
Office of the Immigration Judge The offices of the immigration judges
are responsible for presiding at formal, quasi-judicial deportation
and exclusion proceedings. The immigration judges act independently in
their decisionmaking capacity, and their decisions are
administratively final unless appealed or certified to the Board of
Immigration Appeals.
In exclusion proceedings, an immigration judge determines whether an
individual arriving from a foreign country should be allowed to enter
the United States or should be excluded and deported. Located
throughout the United States, each judge has jurisdiction to consider
various forms of relief available in exclusion proceedings, including
applications for asylum and relief under section 243(h) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 101).
In deportation proceedings, the immigration judge determines whether
an individual who has already entered the United States is deportable
from this country. In such proceedings the judge also adjudicates
applications for the various forms of relief available under this
country's immigration laws. These include applications for adjustment
of status, suspension of deportation, voluntary departure, relief
under section 212(c) of the act (8 U.S.C. 1182), and applications for
asylum and withholding of deportation.
Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer The Office of the
Chief Administrative Hearing Officer is responsible for the general
supervision of administrative law judges in the performance of their
duties under 8 U.S.C. 1324a and 1324b. Administrative law judge
proceedings are mandated by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of
1986 and concern allegations of unlawful employment of aliens and
unfair immigration-related employment discrimination.

United States Parole Commission
5550 Friendship Boulevard, Chevy Chase, MD 20815. Phone, 301 492 5990
The granting, denying, or revocation of parole for eligible Federal
offenders rests in the discretion of the U.S. Parole Commission. The
Commission will be abolished on November 1, 1997, 10 years after the
implementation of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. (The Comprehensive
Crime Control Act of 1984 abolished the U.S. Parole Commission and
instituted mandatory sentencing for all offenders whose crimes were
committed after November 1, 1987.) The Commission is also responsible
for the supervision of paroled or otherwise released offenders until
expiration of their terms and may discharge parolees early from
supervision. Under the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act
of 1959 (29 U.S.C. 401 note), the Commission determines whether or not
persons convicted of certain crimes may serve as officials in the
field of organized labor or in labor-oriented management positions;
likewise, under the Employment Retirement Income and Security Act of
1974, the Commission determines whether or not such persons may
provide services to or be employed by employment benefit plans.
The Parole Commission consists of nine members, appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate. It has sole
authority to grant, modify, or revoke paroles of eligible U.S.
prisoners serving sentences of more than 1 year and D.C. Code
prisoners housed in Federal institutions. It is responsible for the
supervision of parolees and prisoners released upon the expiration of
their sentences with allowances for statutory good time, and the
determination of supervisory conditions and terms. U.S. probation
officers supervise parolees and mandatory releasees under the
direction of the Commission.
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 gave the Commission jurisdiction over
all foreign transfer treaty cases beginning January 1, 1989. For
offenses committed after November 1, 1987, the Commission is to apply
the guidelines of the U.S. Sentencing Commission.

Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States
The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States is a
quasi-judicial, independent agency within the Department of Justice
which adjudicates claims of U.S. nationals against foreign
governments, either under specific jurisdiction conferred by Congress
or pursuant to international claims settlement agreements. Funds for
payment of the Commission's awards are variously derived from
congressional appropriations, international claims settlements, or
liquidation of foreign assets in the United States by the Departments
of Justice and the Treasury.
The Commission was created under Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1954 (5
U.S.C. app.), effective July 1, 1954, and was transferred to the
Department of Justice as a separate agency within the Department (22
U.S.C. 1622a), effective October 1, 1980.
Claims Programs Under authority of the Iran Claims Settlement Act, the
Commission conducts a program for adjudication of some 3,100 claims of
U.S. nationals against Iran, valued at less than $250,000 per claim,
for uncompensated nationalization or other taking of property by the
Iranian revolutionary government which took power in 1979. These
claims were settled by agreement between the United States and Iran at
the U.S.-Iranian Claims Tribunal at The Hague, Netherlands, on May 13,
1990. In addition, the Commission continues to have authority under
the War Claims Act of 1948, as amended, to receive, determine, and
provide for the payment of any further claims that may be filed for
maltreatment of U.S. servicemen and civilians held as prisoners of war
or interned by a hostile force in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam
conflict.
The Commission also furnishes technical assistance and advice to other
Federal agencies and offices in planning new claims adjudication
programs and negotiating international claims settlement agreements.
In addition, the Commission has responsibility for maintaining records
and responding to inquiries relating to the various claims programs it
has conducted under the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949,
as amended, involving the Governments of Yugoslavia, Panama, Poland,
Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Italy, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia,
Cuba, the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), the People's
Republic of China, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and Egypt, as well as those
authorized under the War Claims Act of 1948 and other statutes.

The purpose of the Department of Labor is to foster, promote, and
develop the welfare of the wage earners of the United States, to
improve their working conditions, and to advance their opportunities
for profitable employment. In carrying out this mission, the
Department administers a variety of Federal labor laws guaranteeing
workers' rights to safe and healthful working conditions, a minimum
hourly wage and overtime pay, freedom from employment discrimination,
unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation. The Department also
protects workers' pension rights; provides for job training programs;
helps workers find jobs; works to strengthen free collective
bargaining; and keeps track of changes in employment, prices, and
other national economic measurements. As the Department seeks to
assist all Americans who need and want to work, special efforts are
made to meet the unique job market problems of older workers, youths,
minority group members, women, the handicapped, and other groups.
The Department of Labor (DOL), ninth executive department, was created
by act of March 4, 1913 (29 U.S.C. 551). A Bureau of Labor was first
created by Congress in 1884 under the Interior Department. The Bureau
of Labor later became independent as a Department of Labor without
executive rank. It again returned to bureau status in the Department
of Commerce and Labor, which was created by act of February 14, 1903
(15 U.S.C. 1501).

based. Determinations may involve approval, denial, or termination of
worker groups' eligibility for trade adjustment assistance benefits.
The Office develops policies and prepares program directives to
regional offices and State agencies on the administration and funding
of reemployment services, and develops and maintains a system for
allocating funds to those offices and agencies for reemployment
services. It also directs and conducts industry studies of the number
of workers in a domestic industry likely to be certified as eligible
for adjustment assistance and of the extent to which existing training
and employment programs may facilitate the workers' adjustment to
import competition when an industry petitions the Federal Government
that it is being injured because of import competition.

Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training The National Apprenticeship Act
(29 U.S.C. 50) was passed in 1937 to enable the Department of Labor to
formulate and promote the furtherance of labor standards necessary to
safeguard the welfare of apprentices and cooperate with the States in
the promotion of such standards and to bring together employers and
labor for the formulation of programs of apprenticeship.
Sponsors and potential sponsors are encouraged and assisted in the
development, expansion, and improvement of apprenticeship and other
forms of allied industrial training. Technical information on training
methods, public training facilities, and successfully executed systems
are made available to industry. Through field representatives in
States, the Bureau works closely with employers, labor unions,
vocational schools, community planning groups, and others concerned
with apprenticeship.
Programs must meet standards established by the Bureau or a recognized
State Apprenticeship Council to be registered. Field compliance
reviews are conducted to determine conformity with Federal equal
employment opportunity and other standards for apprenticeship and
training.
For further information, call 202 535 0540.
Job Training Partnership Act
The Office of Job Training Programs is responsible for the development
and issuance of Federal procedures and policies pertaining to the
operation of the Job Training Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501 note)
programs.
Under the act, the Secretary of Labor makes block grants to the 50
States, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Marianas, American Samoa, Republic of the Marshall Islands,
Republic of Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and the District of
Columbia.
The goal of the act is to train or retrain and place eligible
individuals in permanent, unsubsidized employment, preferably in the
private sector. Eligible individuals are primarily economically
disadvantaged individuals, in particular economically disadvantaged
youth, dislocated workers, and others who face significant barriers to
employment. The act also provides that a fixed percentage of the block
grant be used for programs for older individuals.
The Job Training Partnership Act may be used for a variety of purposes
including classroom instruction in occupational skills and other
job-related training; on-the-job training; recruitment; orientation;
counseling; testing; and placements and supportive services. In
addition to the block grants, the act provides for national programs
for special target groups such as Native Americans and migrant and
seasonal farmworkers. It also provides authority for the Job Corps, a
residential training program for disadvantaged youth.
The act is open-ended legislation and was signed into law on October
13, 1982. Implementing regulations for the act issued by the
Department of Labor are contained in title 20 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Parts 626 636 and 675 684.
For further information, call 202 535 0236.
Senior Community Service Employment Program Authorized by title V of
the Older Americans Act (42 U.S.C. 3056), the program makes
subsidized, part-time job opportunities in community service
activities available to low-income persons aged 55 and above. Project
grants are made to national-level public and private nonprofit
agencies and to units of State government. The distribution of funds
among the States is governed by a statutory apportionment formula.

Labor Statistics
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is the principal data-gathering agency
of the Federal Government in the broad field of labor economics. It
has no enforcement or regulatory functions. The Bureau collects,
processes, analyzes, and disseminates data relating to employment,
unemployment, and other characteristics of the labor force; prices and
consumer expenditures; wages, other worker compensation, and
industrial relations; productivity and technological change; economic
growth and employment projections; and occupational safety and health.
Most of the data are collected in surveys conducted by the Bureau, the
Bureau of the Census (on a contract basis), or on a cooperative basis
with State agencies.

Veterans' Employment and Training Service
The Veterans' Employment and Training Service is the component of the
Department of Labor administered by the Assistant Secretary for
Veterans' Employment and Training. The Assistant Secretary is the
principal advisor to the Secretary of Labor in the formulation and
implementation of all Departmental policies, procedures, and
regulations affecting veterans and is responsible for administering
veterans' employment and training programs and activities through the
Service to ensure that legislative and regulatory mandates are
accomplished.
The Service carries out its responsibilities for directing the
Department's veterans' employment and training programs through a
nationwide network that includes Regional Administrators, Directors
(in each State) and Assistant Directors (one for each 250,000 veterans
in each State) for Veterans' Employment and Training, Assistant
Regional Administrators and Area Agents for Veterans' Reemployment
Rights, Veterans' Program Specialists, and program support staff.
The Service field staff works closely with and provides technical
assistance to State Employment Security Agencies and Job Training
Partnership Act grant recipients to ensure that veterans are provided
the priority services required by law. They also coordinate with
employers, labor unions, veterans service organizations, and community
organizations through planned public information and outreach
activities. Federal contractors are provided management assistance in
complying with their veterans affirmative action and reporting
obligations.
Also administered by the Assistant Secretary through the Service is
the Job Training Partnership Act, title IV, part C grant program
designed to meet the employment and training needs of
service-connected disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans, and
veterans recently separated from military service. IV-C grants are
awarded and monitored through the Service's national office and field
staff.
Certain other Service staff also administer the veterans reemployment
rights program. They provide assistance to help restore job,
seniority, and pension rights to veterans following absences from work
for active military service and to protect employment and retention
rights of members of the Reserve or National Guard.

[For the Department of State statement of organization, see the Code

The Department of State advises the President in the formulation and
execution of foreign policy. As Chief Executive, the President has
overall responsibility for the foreign policy of the United States.
The Department of State's primary objective in the conduct of foreign
relations is to promote the long-range security and well-being of the
United States. The Department determines and analyzes the facts
relating to American overseas interests, makes recommendations on
policy and future action, and takes the necessary steps to carry out
established policy. In so doing, the Department engages in continuous
consultations with the American public, the Congress, other U.S.
departments and agencies, and foreign governments; negotiates treaties
and agreements with foreign nations; speaks for the United States in
the United Nations and in more than 50 major international
organizations in which the United States participates; and represents
the United States at more than 800 international conferences
annually.
The Department of State, the senior executive department of the U.S.
Government, was established by act of July 27, 1789 (1 Stat. 28) as
the Department of Foreign Affairs and was renamed Department of State
by act of September 15, 1789 (1 Stat. 68).
The Secretary of State is the principal official of the Department and
performs duties enjoined or entrusted to the position by the President
in accordance with the Constitution, relative to correspondence,
commissions, or instructions to or with public ministers or consuls
from the United States, or to negotiations with public ministers from
foreign states or princes, or to memorials or other applications from
foreign public ministers or other foreigners, or to such other matters
respecting foreign affairs, as the President assigns to the
Department; and, furthermore, the Secretary conducts the business of
the Department in such manner as the President orders or instructs.
The act of September 15, 1789, provided that certain domestic duties,
such as maintaining custody of The Great Seal of the United States and
the publication of laws enacted by Congress, were entrusted to the
Department. During the first few decades of the Republic, a large
number of additional domestic functions were assigned to the
Department, which for a time came to be the equivalent of the ``home
department'' of the Government. Many of these responsibilities were
eventually transferred to other Federal agencies as the U.S.
Government grew in size and complexity during the 19th and 20th
centuries.
The duties of the Department of State in the field of foreign affairs
have not changed significantly in scope since the early years of the
United States but have become far more detailed as the Nation has
grown and its international commitments have multiplied.

Inspector General The Office of the Inspector General of the
Department of State and the Foreign Service arranges for, directs, and
conducts inspections, investigations, and audits of Department offices
and bureaus and its missions and posts overseas. The Office provides
an independent and systematic assessment of how effectively foreign
policy is being implemented and how the interests of the United States
are being represented overseas, including a review of all activities,
operations, and functions under the direction, coordination, and
supervision of the chiefs of missions overseas. The Office also
assesses the efficiency and economy of Department activities and
operations, security standards and functions, and provides the

Regional Bureaus
Five Assistant Secretaries direct the activities of the geographic
bureaus, which are responsible for our foreign affairs activities
throughout the world. These are the Bureaus of African Affairs,
European and Canadian Affairs, East Asian and Pacific Affairs,
Inter-American Affairs, and Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs. The
Assistant Secretaries for these bureaus are responsible for advising
the Secretary regarding countries within their regional jurisdictions
and for guiding the operation of the U.S. diplomatic establishments in
the countries in their geographic areas. They also direct, coordinate,
and supervise interdepartmental and interagency matters involving
these regions. They are assisted in these duties by Deputy Assistant
Secretaries and country Office Directors within their bureaus. The
Office Directors and their staffs have specific responsibility for
working-level management of U.S. relations with respect to their
assigned countries. As the Washington focal point for the development
of policy recommendations for coordination with other departments and
agencies, and for transmission of guidance to Ambassadors in the
field, these Office Directors are charged with assuring that all
elements both in Washington and within our missions abroad jointly
pursue U.S. foreign policy directives.
Each bureau also includes an executive office responsible for
management issues including budget design and formulation, financial
control, personnel administration, administrative support of overseas
posts, implementation of data processing and other systems
requirements, and coordination with other regional executive offices
on departmentwide administrative questions.
The regional Assistant Secretaries also serve as Chairmen of
Interdepartmental Groups in the National Security Council system.
These groups discuss and decide issues that can be settled at the
Assistant Secretary level, including those arising out of the
implementation of National Security Council decisions. They prepare
policy papers for consideration by the Council and contingency papers
on potential crisis areas for Council review.

Foreign Service
To a great extent the future of our country depends on the relations
we have with other countries, and those relations are conducted
principally by the United States Foreign Service. As of April 1990,
representatives at 144 Embassies, 9 missions, 71 consulates general,
26 consulates, 1 branch office, and 23 consular agencies throughout
the world report to the State Department on the multitude of foreign
developments that have a bearing on the welfare and security of the
American people. These trained representatives provide the President
and the Secretary of State with much of the raw material from which
foreign policy is made and with the recommendations that help shape
it.
The Ambassador is the personal representative of the President and
reports to the President through the Secretary of State. Ambassadors
have full responsibility for implementing the U.S. foreign policy by
any and all U.S. Government personnel within their country of
assignment, except those under military commands. Their
responsibilities include negotiating agreements between the United
States and the host country, explaining and disseminating official
U.S. policy, and maintaining cordial relations with that country's
government and people.
A listing of Foreign Service posts, together with addresses and
telephone numbers and key personnel, appears in Key Officers of

issued to separating or retiring employees and their dependents. This

personal travel. Regulations permit their use for incidental personal
travel related to an official assignment if the host government does

The U.S. Department of Transportation establishes the Nation's overall
transportation policy. Under its umbrella there are nine
administrations whose jurisdictions include highway planning,
development, and construction; urban mass transit; railroads;
aviation; and the safety of waterways, ports, highways, and oil and
gas pipelines. Decisions made by the Department in conjunction with
the appropriate State and local officials strongly affect other
programs such as land planning, energy conservation, scarce resource
utilization, and technological change.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) was established by act of
October 15, 1966 (49 U.S.C. app. 1651 note), ``to assure the
coordinated, effective administration of the transportation programs
of the Federal Government'' and to develop ``national transportation
policies and programs conducive to the provision of fast, safe,
efficient, and convenient transportation at the lowest cost consistent
therewith.'' It became operational in April 1967 and was comprised of
elements transferred from eight other major departments and agencies.
It presently consists of the Office of the Secretary and nine
operating administrations whose heads report directly to the Secretary
and who have highly decentralized authority.
The central management concept of the Department is that operating
programs are carried out by the operating administrations, which are
organized generally by mode (e.g., air, rail, etc.). The Secretary and
Deputy Secretary are responsible for the overall planning, direction,
and control of all departmental activities, and the Office of the
Secretary focuses its attention largely on policy formulation,
resource allocation, interagency and intradepartmental coordination,
evaluation of programs, and on matters of an intermodal nature
requiring integration and balancing of modal interests. The Assistant
Secretaries and the General Counsel are essentially staff officers,
having one or more functional areas in which they assist the Secretary
in matters of departmentwide scope. These officials do not exercise
line control over the operating administrations.
Effective management of the Department is dependent for its efficient
operation on a high degree of teamwork between the Assistant
Secretaries and the heads of the operating administrations. Although
operating generally within the standard regional boundaries, the field
organizations of the various operating administrations differ widely
in character primarily due to the nature of their work some
essentially providing funds to State and/or local governments for
transportation undertakings such as road building and airport
development, with others providing vital, nationwide public services
such as air traffic control. The Department relies on Regional
Representatives of the Secretary to coordinate the diverse programs of
the Department in the field.

Office of the Secretary of Transportation
[For the Office of the Secretary of Transportation statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Part 1,
Subpart B]
The Department of Transportation is administered by the Secretary of
Transportation, who is the principal adviser to the President in all
matters relating to Federal transportation programs. The Secretary is
assisted in the administration of the Department by a Deputy Secretary
of Transportation, who acts for and exercises the powers of the
Secretary of Transportation and is responsible for the supervision and
coordination of the activities of the Department as directed by the
Secretary of Transportation.
Policy and International Affairs The Assistant Secretary for Policy
and International Affairs is the Secretary's key officer for the
development, review, and coordination of policy for domestic and
international transportation. The Assistant Secretary:
develops and evaluates public policy related to the transportation
industries and their economic regulation;
assures that the Department's regulatory programs remain consistent
with established policy and maintains oversight of all departmental
safety regulatory actions;
proposes and coordinates transportation-related legislation involving
the private sector;
provides analyses of current and emerging transportation policy
issues to assess their economic and institutional implications,
particularly with regard to Federal assistance, public trust funds,
user charges, nondiscrimination of the handicapped in the provision of
public transportation services, and energy and environmental aspects;
undertakes studies and analyses to aid in the resolution of safety
problems;
develops policies to support the Department in aviation and maritime
multilateral and bilateral negotiations with foreign governments and
participates on the U.S. negotiating delegations;
develops policies on a wide range of international transportation and
trade matters;
furnishes guidance to the United States Trade Representative's Trade
Policy Committee in efforts to improve the U.S. balance of payments;
coordinates efforts to combat transport-related terrorist acts and
drug smuggling;
arranges and coordinates cooperative agreements with foreign
governments for the exchange of state-of-the-art scientific and
technical information;
provides assistance to the Agency for International Development's
transportation programs in developing countries; and
participates on the U.S.-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission for Economic
Cooperation.
The Assistant Secretary also:
develops, coordinates, and carries out U.S. Government policy
relating to the economic regulation of the airline industry, including
licensing of U.S. and foreign carriers to serve in international air
transportation and carrier fitness determinations;
processes and resolves complaints concerning unfair competitive
practices in international fares, rates, and tariff filings;
establishes international and intra-Alaska mail rates; and
determines the disposition of requests for approval and immunization
from the antitrust laws of international aviation agreements.
The Assistant Secretary also administers the essential air service
program, which involves:
establishing appropriate subsidy levels for subsidized carriers;
processing applications to terminate, suspend, or reduce air service
below the defined essential level;
determining which carrier among various applicants should be selected
to provide subsidized service; and
continuously reviewing essential air service definitions for each
community.
For further information, call 202 366 4544.
Budget and Programs The Assistant Secretary for Budget and Programs is
the principal staff adviser to the Secretary on the development,
review, and presentation of the Department's budget resource
requirements and on the evaluation and oversight of the Department's
programs. The Assistant Secretary reviews the effectiveness of
programs in achieving their objectives and advises the Secretary on
major problem areas that impede attainment of departmental program
objectives and on program and legislative changes necessary to resolve
them. The Assistant Secretary also coordinates the impact on
departmental resources of legislative and other proposals, establishes
procedures for development of long-range budgetary resource planning,
and makes recommendations on the budget and program aspects of
proposals for acquisition of major new technical systems.
For further information, call 202 366 9191.
Administration The Department's management program includes
formulating, prescribing, assuring compliance with, and evaluating the
effectiveness of policies in the areas of personnel, staff
utilization, financial and information management systems (including
telecommunications and automated data processing management),
acquisition and grants, administrative services and property
management, and security. The program also includes the provision of
comprehensive administrative services and computer support services to
the Office of the Secretary and certain other components of the
Department. These programs are under the direction and control of the
Assistant Secretary for Administration, who also serves as the
principal adviser to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary in matters
involving the internal management of the Department. The Office of
Hearings, under the Assistant Secretary for organizational and
administrative purposes, conducts hearings in all formal
Administrative Procedure Act proceedings under legislation vesting
implementing responsibility in the Secretary.
Governmental Affairs The Office of Governmental Affairs is responsible
for:
maintaining liaison with the Congress, State and local governments,
and public and private interest groups;
coordinating matters of congressional concern within the Department;
coordinating the presentation to the Congress of the Department's
legislative program;
ensuring effective communication and coordination with other Federal
agencies and State and local governments with respect to DOT programs;
and
maintaining and assuring as the Department's point of contact for
public and private organizations and groups that consumer preferences,
awareness, and needs are brought into the decisionmaking process.

functions and duties under sections 8 and 15 of the Small Business Act
(15 U.S.C. 637, 644) for developing policies and procedures consistent
with Federal statutes to provide policy direction for minority,
women-owned, and small and disadvantaged business participation in the
Department's procurement and Federal financial assistance activities.
The Office is also responsible for setting the Department's goals for
minority, women-owned, and small disadvantaged businesses, which
includes monitoring and evaluating the accomplishments of these
goals.
The Minority Business Resource Center, a division of the Office, is
authorized under 49 U.S.C. 332 to design and conduct coordinated
program activities directed at stimulating, promoting, and actively
assisting minority and women-owned business participation in
departmental procurement and Federal financial assistance activities.
The Center's program consists of a Short-term Lending Program under
which loans are available at prime interest rates and a Bonding
Assistance Program which enables firms to obtain bonding in support of
transportation-related contracts. The Center also operates several
other program initiatives which provide technical assistance,
outreach, and information dissemination involving minority chambers of
commerce and trade associations, historically black colleges and
universities, and a National Information Clearinghouse.
For further information, call 202 366 1930.

(41 U.S.C. 601); sits as the Contract Adjustment Board with plenary
authority to grant extraordinary contractual relief under Public Law
85 804 (50 U.S.C. 1431); and hears and decides all contractor
debarment cases pursuant to 41 CFR 12 1.604 1 (1984). Judges are

Federal Highway Administration
The Federal Highway Administration became a component of the
Department of Transportation in 1967 pursuant to the Department of
Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. app. 1651 note). It administers the
highway transportation programs of the Department of Transportation
under pertinent legislation and the provisions of law cited in section
6(a) of the act (49 U.S.C. 104).
The Administration encompasses highway transportation in its broadest
scope, seeking to coordinate highways with other modes of
transportation to achieve the most effective balance of transportation
systems and facilities under cohesive Federal transportation policies
pursuant to the act.
The Administration is concerned with the total operation and
environment of highway systems, including highway and motor carrier
safety. In administering its highway transportation programs, it gives
full consideration to the impacts of highway development and travel;
transportation needs; engineering and safety aspects; social,
economic, and environmental effects; and project costs. It ensures
balanced treatment of these factors by utilizing a systematic,
interdisciplinary approach in providing for safe and efficient highway
transportation.
Activities
Federal-Aid Highway Program The Administration administers the
Federal-aid highway program of financial assistance to the States for
highway construction and improvement of efficiency in highway and
traffic operations. This program provides for construction and
preservation of the approximately 42,500-mile National System of
Interstate and Defense Highways, financed generally on a 90-percent
Federal, 10-percent State basis, and the improvement of approximately
800,000 miles of other Federal-aid primary, secondary, and urban roads
and streets, with financing generally on a 75-percent Federal to
25-percent State basis. As existing sections of the Federal-aid
highway systems age, certain repair, reconstruction, and
rehabilitation projects become eligible for Federal aid.
The Administration also administers the Highway Bridge Replacement and
Rehabilitation Program to assist in the inspection, analysis, and
rehabilitation or replacement of bridges both on and off the
Federal-aid highway systems. In addition, it administers an emergency
program to assist in the repair or reconstruction of Federal-aid
highways and certain Federal roads that have suffered serious damage
by natural disasters over a wide area or catastrophic failures. The
State highway agencies administer all Federal-aid highway projects and
are responsible for planning, design, and construction. Revenues
derived from special taxes on highway users are deposited into the
general funds of the U.S. Treasury and credited to the Highway Trust
Fund to meet, through the congressional authorization and
appropriation processes, the Federal share of highway program costs.
Special emphasis is directed toward making highway improvements that
are the highest priority needs in each State, adherence to
environmental requirements, improving the safety design of new
highways, correcting highway hazards on existing roads, reducing
traffic congestion, and facilitating the flow of traffic. The
Administration provides multidisciplinary expertise to States in
assessing environmental impacts so that highways are located,
designed, and constructed in harmony with environmental concerns.
Severe environmental impacts are often avoided and proper mitigation
measures are taken when avoidance is not possible.
The Federal-aid highway program also involves improving access for the
handicapped, encouraging the joint use and development of highway
corridors, acquiring real property for right-of-way, and providing
relocation assistance to those displaced by highway construction,
encouraging disadvantaged business enterprises to participate in
highway construction, and preserving along highways the natural beauty
of the countryside, public parks and recreation lands, wildlife and
waterfowl refuges, and historic sites. The agency is responsible for
developing and maintaining standards for traffic control devices used
on all public streets and highways.
The Administration administers technology transfer and traffic
engineering programs aimed at promoting the use and adoption of
innovative highway engineering practices, an Intelligent
Vehicle/Highway System Program to advance the application of
electronic communications and control technologies for safer and more
efficient highway travel, and a Rural Technical Assistance Program to
help States and local areas meet the growing transportation demands
placed on rural roads and bridges. The technical assistance includes
funding university-based technology transfer centers, onsite
demonstrations, microcomputer software development, workshops, user
manuals and guidelines, and special studies that aid rural areas.
Highway Safety Programs The Administration is responsible for several
of the highway safety programs undertaken by the Federal Government.
Under the authority of the Federal-aid highway acts, highway
construction programs to increase safety are administered through the
Federal-Aid Highway Program. These safety construction programs fund
activities that remove, relocate, or shield roadside obstacles,
identify and correct hazardous locations, eliminate or reduce hazards
at railroad crossings, and improve signing, pavement markings, and
signalization.
Under the Highway Safety Act of 1966 (23 U.S.C. 402), the Federal
Government is authorized to provide funding assistance in the form of
matching grants to States establishing specific highway safety
programs in accordance with national guidelines promulgated by the
Secretary of Transportation. The agency administers highway-related
safety guidelines providing for the identification and surveillance of
accident locations; highway design, construction, and maintenance;
traffic engineering services; and highway-related aspects of
pedestrian safety. These guidelines form the foundation for the State
and local programs dealing with street and highway safety.
Motor Carrier Programs Under the provisions of the Surface
Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (23 U.S.C. 101), the
Administration was authorized to establish and maintain a National
Network for trucks, review State truck size and weight enforcement
programs, and assist in obtaining uniformity among the States in the
area of commercial motor carrier registration and taxation reporting.
The National Network was established to provide an opportunity for
larger commercial vehicles to travel long interstate distances without
regard to individual State size and weight restrictions.
The agency, in an effort to reduce pavement damage by larger
commercial motor vehicles, reviews State plans for truck size and
weight enforcement and requires that States annually provide
information on the number of trucks weighed, the number of fines and
penalties issued for overweight violations, and the number of permits
issued for overweight loads.
The Administration initiated the Interjurisdictional Trucking Program
to promote simplified, more uniform State registration and taxation
requirements.
Under the authority of the motor carrier safety provisions of title 49
of the United States Code, the agency exercises Federal regulatory
jurisdiction over the safety performance of all commercial motor
carriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. It deals with more
than 210,000 carriers and approximately 25,000 shippers of hazardous
materials. Reviews are conducted at the carrier's facilities to
determine the safety performance of the carrier's over-the-road
operations. These reviews may lead to prosecution or other sanctions
against violators of the Federal motor carrier safety regulations or
the hazardous materials transportation regulations. Additionally, the
agency is responsible for establishing and enforcing the minimum
levels of financial responsibility of motor carriers, section 30 of
the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. 10927 note) and section 18 of
the Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982 (49 U.S.C. 10927 note).
Under the provisions of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of
1986 (49 U.S.C. app. 2701 note), the Administration has established
requirements for a single national commercial vehicle driver license
for State issuance; a national information system clearinghouse for
commercial driver license information; knowledge and skills tests for
licensing commercial vehicle drivers; disqualification of drivers for
serious traffic offenses, including alcohol and drug abuse; and
administration of grants to the States to implement the commercial
vehicle driver licensing program. It has responsibility for
administering the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program under the
provisions of sections 401 404 of the Surface Transportation
Assistance Act of 1982 (49 U.S.C. app. 2301 2304).
The act provides for grants to qualified States for the development or
implementation of programs for the enforcement of Federal or
compatible State regulations applicable to commercial vehicle safety
and hazardous materials transportation by highway. In fiscal year
1990, this partnership agreement between the States and the Federal
Government resulted in approximately 1.6 million inspections being
conducted, removing over 540,000 unsafe vehicles and 112,000 drivers
from service for violations of the safety regulations.
Federal Lands Highway Program The Administration, through cooperative
agreements with Federal land managing agencies, administers a
coordinated Federal lands program consisting of forest highways,
public lands highways, park roads and parkways, and defense access and
Indian reservation roads. This program provides for the funding of
more than 80,000 miles of federally owned roads or public
authority-owned roads that are open for public travel and serve
Federal lands. The agency's Federal Lands Highway Office provides for
the program coordination and administration and directs transportation
planning, engineering studies, design, and construction engineering
assistance.
Research and Technology The Administration coordinates varied resear
ch, development, and technology transfer activities consisting of six
principal programs: Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems, Highway
Research and Development, Long-Term Pavement Performance, Technology
Applications, Rural Technical Assistance, and the National Highway
Institute. The Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems Program involves
developing and deploying state-of-the-art vehicle and information
systems to alleviate congestion on highways. Other programs focus on
highway safety, structures, pavements, materials, environment, policy,
and planning to discover ways to improve the quality and durability of
highways and streets, to reduce construction and maintenance costs,
and to offset the negative impact of highway transportation. A new
effort is the Long-Term Pavement Performance Program, a massive
evaluation of existing street and highway surfaces. A major effort of
the agency is to transfer technology developed through research and
other means to State, county, city, and other local highway
jurisdictions. Through its National Highway Institute, the
Administration develops and administers, in cooperation with State
highway agencies, instructional training programs designed primarily
for State and local highway agency employees engaged or about to be
engaged in Federal-aid highway work. A separate program of Motor
Carrier research investigates the special aspects of that function,
such as the stopping capability of heavy vehicles, medical
qualifications for commercial drivers, driver fatigue, and improving
Motor Carrier management information systems.
International Programs To qualitatively advance the design,
construction, and management of highways and bridges in the United
States and around the world, the Administration supports and
participates various international highway organizations, as well as
joint projects with other countries. Such activities include
international conferences, technical committee deliberations or
studies, and assistance for study teams abroad; all fostering the
international exchange of technical information and experiences.
Additional Programs The Administration administers a highway planning
program, the highway beautification program, the highway construction
phase of the Appalachian regional development program, and the
territorial highway program; provides highway program support and
technical assistance on an allocation/transfer basis for other Federal
agencies. It administers civil rights programs pursuant to a variety
of statutes. The programs have the aims of preventing discrimination
in the impacts of programs and activities of recipients and
subrecipients; providing equal employment opportunities and promoting
diversity in public employment (Federal/State transportation agencies'
motor carrier safety program and commercial driver's license program
recipients and subrecipients) and private employment (contractors,
subcontractors, material suppliers, vendors, and consultants) related
to agency-funded projects; providing training opportunities for
minorities and women in highway construction crafts; ensuring
contracting opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises and
other historically underutilized businesses; increasing opportunities
for historically black colleges and universities; providing technical
assistance and training to State staffs; providing for supportive
services to enhance the capabilities of disadvantaged business
enterprises and on-the-job trainees; and determining compliance by
States and contractors with the nondiscrimination and Equal Employment
Opportunity provisions of assurances and contracts.
The administration is the lead agency in the Federal Government for
implementation of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act. This act sets policy for the acquisition of
property and relocation of the occupants for Federal and federally
assisted projects.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
[For the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Part
501]
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was established by
the Highway Safety Act of 1970 (23 U.S.C. 101). The Administration
carries out programs relating to the safety performance of motor
vehicles and related equipment, motor vehicle drivers and pedestrians,
and a uniform nationwide speed limit under the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended (15 U.S.C. 1381 et seq.),
and the Highway Safety Act of 1966, as amended (23 U.S.C. 401 et
seq.). Under the authority of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost
Saving Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.), the Administration
carries out programs and studies aimed at reducing economic losses in
motor vehicle crashes and repairs through general motor vehicle
programs; administers the Federal odometer law; issues theft
prevention standards; and promulgates average fuel economy standards
for passenger and nonpassenger motor vehicles.
Under the authority of the Clean Air Amendments of 1970 (42 U.S.C.
7544(2)), the Administration certifies as to the consistency of
Environmental Protection Agency State grants with any highway safety
program developed pursuant to section 402 of title 23 of the United
States Code.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was established to
carry out a congressional mandate to reduce the mounting number of
deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from traffic accidents
on the Nation's highways and to provide motor vehicle damage
susceptibility and ease of repair information, motor vehicle
inspection demonstrations, and protection of purchasers of motor
vehicles having altered odometers, and to provide average standards
for greater vehicle mileage per gallon of fuel for vehicles under
10,000 pounds (gross vehicle weight).
Activities Rulemaking and Enforcement Programs
Motor Vehicle Safety Programs The Administration administers motor
vehicle safety programs to:
reduce the occurrence of highway crashes;
reduce the severity of injuries in such crashes as do occur;
improve survivability and injury recovery by better postcrash
measures;
reduce the economic losses in crashes;
provide consumer information in the areas of vehicle crashworthiness
and tire grading for treadwear, temperature resistance, and traction;
and
establish safeguards for the protection of purchasers of motor
vehicles having altered or reset odometers.
Under the Administration's program, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards are issued that prescribe safety features and levels of
safety-related performance for vehicles and motor vehicle equipment.
Damage susceptibility, crashworthiness, and theft prevention are to be
studied and reported to the Congress and the public. The
Administration establishes safeguards to protect purchasers of motor
vehicles from vehicles with altered or reset odometers. The
Administration conducts an intensive testing program to determine
whether vehicles and equipment comply with applicable standards. It
also investigates reports of safety-related defects. The
Administration can require a manufacturer of motor vehicles or motor
vehicle equipment to take corrective action.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6201
note), sets automotive fuel economy standards for passenger cars for
model years 1985 and thereafter. The Administration has the option of
altering the standards for the post-1985 period.
The Administration develops and promulgates mandatory fuel economy
standards for light trucks for each model year and administers the
fuel economy regulatory program. The Administration establishes rules
for the collection and reporting of information required concerning
manufacturers' technological alternatives and corporate economic
capabilities in meeting fuel economy standards.
Traffic Safety Programs The law provides for Federal matching funds to
assist States with their driver, pedestrian, and motor vehicle safety
programs. The Administration has issued standards as guidelines and
provides technical assistance to State and local community safety
programs. Areas of primary emphasis are the implementation of
countermeasures to reduce crashes and resultant deaths and injuries
attributable to the use of alcohol and drugs, to increase occupant
restraint usage, to improve emergency medical systems, and to control
the aberrant driver.
The Administration maintains a register of persons who have had their
operator's license withdrawn or revoked for more than 6 months.
Research and Development To provide a foundation for the development
of motor vehicle and highway safety program standards, the
Administration administers a broad-scale program of research,
development, testing, demonstration, and evaluation of motor vehicles,
motor vehicle equipment, Intelligent/Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS),
operator and pedestrian safety, and accident data collection and
analysis.
The research program covers numerous areas affecting safety problems
and includes provision for appropriate laboratory testing facilities
to obtain necessary basic data. In this connection, research in both
light and heavy vehicle crashworthiness and crash avoidance is being
pursued. The objectives are to encourage industry to adopt advanced
motor vehicle safety designs, stimulate public awareness of safety
potentials, and provide a base for vehicle safety information. In
addition, through a behavioral research program, the Administration
addresses the fact that human error is the primary cause of motor
vehicle crashes. The research seeks to find ways to change people's
unsafe behavior, such as drinking and driving; failing to wear
seatbelts; misuse of child restraints; not wearing motorcycle helmets;
and speeding.
The Administration maintains a collection of scientific and technical
information related to motor vehicle safety, and operates the National
Center for Statistics and Analysis, whose activities include the
development and maintenance of highway accident data collection
systems and related analysis efforts. These comprehensive motor
vehicle safety information resources serve as documentary reference
points for Federal, State, and local agencies, as well as industry,
universities, and the public.

1968.
The missions of the Administration are:
to assist in the development of improved mass transportation
facilities, equipment, techniques, and methods, with the cooperation
of mass transportation companies both public and private;
to encourage the planning and establishment of areawide urban mass
transportation systems needed for economical and desirable urban
development, with the cooperation of mass transportation companies
both public and private; and
to provide assistance to State and local governments and their
instrumentalities in financing such systems, to be operated by public
or private mass transportation companies as determined by local
needs.
Programs
Discretionary Capital Grants Section 3 grants or loans are authorized
to assist communities in acquiring or improving capital equipment and
facilities needed for urban mass transit systems, both public and
private. Only State, regional, or local governmental bodies and public
agencies are eligible as applicants. Private transit operators may be
assisted under the program through arrangements with an eligible
public body.
The Federal grant is 75 percent of the net project cost. If the
project is in an urbanized area, it must be part of a program for a
unified or officially coordinated urban transportation system as a
part of the comprehensive planned development of the area.
For further information, contact the Regional Office for the area
concerned.6
Urbanized Area Formula Grants Section 9 is a formula-apportioned
resource that has been available for capital, operating, and planning
assistance since fiscal year 1984. Section 9 replaced an earlier
formula assistance program, section 5, which was phased out with the
passage of the Federal Public Transportation Act of 1982.
Recipients of funds in urbanized areas of over 200,000 population are
jointly designated by the Governors of the respective States, local
officials, and public transit operators. The Governor acts as
recipient for urbanized areas with populations from 50,000 up to
200,000. Recipients must be State, regional, or local governmental
bodies or public agencies. Private transit operators may be assisted
under the program through arrangements with an eligible public body.
Grants may be made for 80 percent of the project cost for capital and
planning activities and up to 50 percent for operating subsidies. Each
year, potential grantees submit a proposed program of projects for
funding based on the annual element of the Transportation Improvement
Program, a technical document endorsed by the local metropolitan
planning organization.
For further information, contact the Regional Office for the area
concerned.6
Nonurbanized Area Formula Grants The section 18 program provides
capital and operating assistance for public transportation in
nonurbanized areas (under 50,000 population). Funds are allocated by
formula to the Governor and the program is administered at the State
level by the designated transportation agency. Eligible activities are
operating assistance, planning, administrative and program development
activities, coordination of public transportation programs, vehicle
acquisition, and other capital investments in support of general or
special transit services, including services provided for the elderly
and handicapped and other transit-dependent persons. A Rural Transit
Assistance Program authorized under section 18(h) provides funding for
training and technical assistance for transit operators in
nonurbanized areas. Capital assistance is funded up to an 80-percent
Federal share and operating assistance is funded with up to a
50-percent Federal share.

Maritime Administration
The Maritime Administration was established by Reorganization Plan No.
21 of 1950 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective May 24, 1950. The Maritime Act
of 1981 (46 U.S.C. 1601) transferred the Maritime Administration to
the Department of Transportation, effective August 6, 1981.
The Maritime Administration administers programs to aid in the
development, promotion, and operation of the U.S. merchant marine. It
is also charged with organizing and directing emergency merchant ship
operations.
The Maritime Administration administers subsidy programs, through the
Maritime Subsidy Board, under which the Federal Government, subject to
statutory limitations, pays the difference between certain costs of
operating ships under the U.S. flag and foreign competitive flags on
essential services, and the difference between the costs of
constructing ships in U.S. and foreign shipyards. It provides
financing guarantees for the construction, reconstruction, and
reconditioning of ships; and enters into capital construction fund
agreements that grant tax deferrals on moneys to be used for the
acquisition, construction, or reconstruction of ships.
The Administration constructs or supervises the construction of
merchant type ships for the Federal Government. It helps industry
generate increased business for U.S. ships and conducts programs to
develop ports, facilities, and intermodal transport, and to promote
domestic shipping.
The Administration conducts program and technical studies and
administers a War Risk Insurance Program that ensures operators and
seamen against losses caused by hostile action if domestic commercial
insurance is not available.
Under emergency conditions the Maritime Administration charters
Government-owned ships to U.S. operators, requisitions or procures
ships owned by U.S. citizens, and allocates them to meet defense
needs.
It maintains a National Defense Reserve Fleet of Government-owned
ships that it operates through ship managers and general agents when
required in national defense interests. An element of this activity is
the Ready Reserve Force consisting of a number of ships available for
quick-response activation.
It regulates sales to aliens and transfers to foreign registry of
ships that are fully or partially owned by U.S. citizens. It also
disposes of Government-owned ships found nonessential for national
defense.
The Administration operates the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Kings
Point, NY, where young people are trained to become merchant marine
officers, and conducts training in shipboard firefighting at Earle,
NJ, and Toledo, OH. It also administers a Federal assistance program
for the maritime academies operated by California, Maine,

Office of Hazardous Materials Transportation
400 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20590. Phone, 202 366 0656
The Office of Hazardous Materials Transportation develops and issues
regulations for the safe transportation of hazardous materials by all
modes, excluding bulk transportation by water. The regulations cover
shipping and carrier operations, packaging and container
specifications, and hazardous materials definitions. The Office is
also responsible for the enforcement of regulations other than those
applicable to a single mode of transportation. It reviews and analyzes
reports made by the industry and by field staffs bearing upon
compliance with the regulations, and conducts training and education
programs to support the Department's regulatory system and the program
for shipper and container manufacturer inspection and compliance. The
Office is the national focal point for coordination and control of the
Department's multimodal hazardous materials regulatory program,
ensuring uniformity of approach and action by all modal
administrations.
Office of Pipeline Safety
400 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20550. Phone, 202 366 4595
The Office of Pipeline Safety establishes and provides for enforcement
of safety standards for the transportation of gas and hazardous
liquids by pipeline.
Federal/State Program The Office administers a program whereby a
State, when permitted by its statutes, can voluntarily assert safety
regulatory jurisdiction over all or some of the intrastate pipeline
facilities. The States' statutes must include adoption of the Federal
Pipleline Safety standards. To enable States to initiate a safety
program or to broaden an existing program, the Federal Government is
authorized to pay a State agency grant-in-aid funds of up to 50
percent of the actual cost for carrying out a pipeline safety program.
This payment assures that Federal and State regulation of pipelines is
based on a common set of safety standards.
Information Dissemination The Administration publishes annual reports
on the hazardous materials and pipeline safety programs, which are
transmitted to Congress, State agencies, safety organizations, and to
industry and the public upon request. It maintains a reporting system
that gathers, processes, and analyzes accident and operator data from
pipeline companies, carriers transporting hazardous materials by rail,
highway, air and water, and from manufacturers of containers used in
transporting hazardous materials.
Training The Office sponsors a number of training and information
dissemination activities designed to familiarize industry personnel
with the requirements of hazardous materials and pipeline safety
regulations, and to educate Federal and State inspectors in inspection
and enforcement procedures. These activities include in-depth
classroom training at the Transportation Safety Institute, development
of home-study training packages, regional and State seminars, and the
distribution of a variety of information guides to those involved in
hazardous materials and pipeline transportation.

Transportation Systems Center
Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA 02142. Phone, 617 494 2224
The Transportation Systems Center (TSC), as part of the Research and
Special Programs Administration (RSPA), provides research, analysis,
and systems capability to the Department of Transportation (DOT) and
other agencies requiring expertise in national transportation and
logistics programs.
Integrated systems approaches are developed by TSC to address Federal
transportation issues of national importance. It does not appear as a
line item in the Federal budget, but is funded directly by its
sponsors. TSC projects are therefore responsive to customer needs. The
Center has come to be increasingly recognized by government, industry,
and academia as a focal point for the assimilation, generation, and
interchange of knowledge and understanding concerning national and
international transportation and logistics systems. TSC is widely
valued as a vital national resource for solving complex transportation
and logistics problems.
Based on shifting national priorities and availability of its
resources, TSC programmatic activities for DOT and other agencies vary
from year-to-year. Currently, TSC's programs continue emphasis on
enhancing transportation safety, while responding to changing national
needs, including the modernization of federally operated
transportation systems, such as the National Airspace System.
20Activities
Major TSC programmatic activities can be grouped into four
transportation and logistics areas: (1) Enhanced Safety and Security;
(2) Infrastructure Modernization; (3) Upgrade of Management Support
Systems; and (4) Institutional Support.
Safety and Security A number of projects supporting both regulatory
and nonregulatory safety and security enhancement activities are
carried out by TSC, including:
assessment of the effect of human factors on transportation system
safety performance, including impact of fatigue, design of vehicle
controls, and pilot interaction with cockpit displays;
assessment of the vulnerability of major Federal computer systems and
identification of techniques for enhancing computer security;
development of prototype explosives detection technology for
passenger screening at critical transportation facilities; and
application of structural analysis and inspection technology to
assess metal fatigue in aging aircraft.
Infrastructure Modernization To upgrade and modernize Federal
transportation operations, TSC has major programs under way such as:
bridging civilian and defense transportation systems through
information and database exchange for all modes of transportation;
facility modernization projects in support of national ground and
satellite-based radionavigation systems; and
rehabilitation of federally operated rail lines at critical military
reservations.
Management Support Systems The Transportation Systems Center is
extensively involved in efforts to upgrade federally operated
transportation and logistics management support systems. Major
projects include:
design, development, and implementation of information systems for
aviation safety and inspection activities;
management and operational support of telecommunications network
planning and engineering, resource allocation, and performance
analysis and improvement;
research and systems analysis to integrate safely the needs and
scheduling of air traffic for the shared use of airspace by civilian
and military aircraft; and
support the development of an advanced traffic management system for
air traffic flow control and delay reduction.
Institutional Support The Department's formulation of domestic and
international transportation policy is supported by TSC through
collection and assessment of technical, economic, and other
information, and performed by special investigations of critical
transportation concerns requiring immediate attention. These
activities include:
support for congressionally mandated studies on the economic impacts
of regulatory reform;
continuing independent and objective ``smart buyer'' support for
major transportation-related system acquisitions;
support of departmental safety task forces; and
organization of transportation colloquia to develop an awareness of
and sensitivity to future transportation needs and opportunities
within the public and private sectors.

policies; serving as financial agent for the U.S. Government;
enforcing the law; and manufacturing coins and currency.
The Treasury Department was created by act of September 2, 1789 (31

the Department, delegating new duties to its charge and establishing
the numerous bureaus and divisions that now comprise the Treasury.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was established by
Treasury Department Order No. 221, effective July 1, 1972. The order
transferred the functions, powers, and duties arising under laws
relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives from the
Internal Revenue Service to the Bureau. On December 5, 1978, Treasury
Department Order No. 120 1 assigned to the Bureau responsibility for
enforcing chapter 114 of title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C.
2341 et seq.) relating to interstate trafficking in contraband
cigarettes. With passage of the Anti-Arson Act of 1982, the Bureau was
given the additional responsibility of addressing commercial arson
nationwide.
Bureau headquarters is located in Washington, DC, but since the Bureau
is decentralized, most of its personnel are stationed throughout the
country where many of its operational functions are performed. The
Director is appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and is under
the supervision of the Assistant Secretary (Enforcement).
The Bureau is responsible for enforcing and administering firearms and
explosives laws, as well as those covering the production, use, and
distribution of alcohol and tobacco products. The Bureau's objectives
are to maximize compliance and investigate violations of these laws.
To achieve these goals, the Bureau is divided into two basic
functions: law enforcement and compliance operations.
The objectives of our law enforcement activity are to:
eliminate illegal trafficking, possession and use of firearms,
destructive devices, and explosives;
impact arson-for-profit schemes;
suppress the traffic in illicit distilled spirits;
suppress interstate trafficking in contraband cigarettes; and
assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in reducing
crime and violence.
investigate narcotics traffickers who use firearms and explosives as
tools of their trade.
The compliance operations activity:
determines and ensures full collection of revenue due from legal
alcohol, tobacco, and firearms industries;
fulfills the Bureau's responsibility in product integrity, health
warning statements, the prevention of commercial bribery, consumer
deception, and other improper trade practices in the beverage alcohol
industry;
assists other Federal, State, and local governmental agencies in the
resolution of problems relating to revenue protection;
ensures that persons prohibited by law from manufacturing, importing,
or dealing in alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives do not obtain
a license or permit;
ensures that storage facilities for explosives are safe and secure,
to avoid presenting a hazard to the public, and that explosives are
properly stored in such facilities; and
ensures that the audit trail is preserved to permit the tracing of
firearms used in the commission of crimes and full accountability for
explosive materials.

The Comptroller, as the administrator of national banks, is
responsible for the execution of laws relating to national banks and

United States Customs Service
The fifth act of the first Congress, passed on July 31, 1789 (1 Stat.
29), established customs districts and authorized customs officers to
collect duties on goods, wares, and merchandise imposed by the second
act of the first Congress, dated July 4, 1789 (1 Stat. 24). The Bureau
of Customs was established as a separate agency under the Treasury
Department on March 3, 1927 (19 U.S.C. 2071) and, effective August 1,
1973, was redesignated the United States Customs Service by Treasury
Department Order 165 23 of April 4, 1973.
The Customs Service collects the revenue from imports and enforces
customs and related laws. Customs also administers the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1654), and other customs laws. Some of the
responsibilities that Customs is specifically charged with are:
assessing and collecting customs duties, excise taxes, fees, and
penalties due on imported merchandise;
interdicting and seizing contraband, including narcotics and illegal
drugs;
processing persons, carriers, cargo, and mail into and out of the
United States;
administering certain navigation laws; and
detecting and apprehending persons engaged in fraudulent practices
designed to circumvent customs and related laws; copyright, patent,
and trademark provisions; quotas; and marking requirements for
imported merchandise.
As the principal border enforcement agency, Customs' mission has been
extended over the years to assisting in the administration and
enforcement of some 400 provisions of law on behalf of more than 40
Government agencies. Today, in addition to enforcing the Tariff Act of
1930 and other customs statutes, the Customs Service:
enforces export control laws and intercepts illegal high-technology
exports to Soviet bloc countries;
cooperates with other Federal agencies and foreign governments in
suppressing the traffic of illegal narcotics and pornography;
enforces reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act; and
collects international trade statistics.
Also, Customs enforces a wide range of requirements to protect the
public, such as auto safety and emission control standards, radiation
and radioactive material standards; counterfeit monetary instruments;
flammable fabric restrictions; animal and plant quarantine
requirements; and food, drug, and hazardous substance prohibitions.
Customs is extensively involved with outside commercial and policy
organizations and trade associations, and with international
organizations and foreign customs services. Customs is a member of the
multinational Customs Cooperation Council, the Cabinet Committee to
Combat Terrorism, and the International Narcotics Control Program. In
addition, Customs participates in and supports the activities and
programs of various international organizations and agreements,
including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the
International Civil Aviation Organization, and the Organization of
American States.
Headquarters of the U.S. Customs Service is located in Washington, DC,
under the supervision of the Commissioner of Customs, who is appointed
by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The 50 States, plus the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, are divided
into seven Customs Regions. Contained within these regions are 44
subordinate district or area offices under which there are
approximately 240 ports of entry.
The foreign field offices of the Customs Service are located in
Bangkok, Bonn, Dublin, Hermosillo, Hong Kong, London, Mexico City,
Milan, Monterrey, Ottawa, Panama City, Paris, Rome, Seoul, Singapore,
Tokyo, Vienna, and The Hague. An attache 1 represents U.S. Customs in
the U.S. Mission to the European Communities in Brussels.
The Customs Service also operates a Canine Enforcement Training Center
at Front Royal, VA.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing operates on basic authorities
conferred by act of July 11, 1862 (31 U.S.C. 303) and additional
authorities contained in past appropriations made to the Bureau that
are still in force.
A working capital fund was established in accordance with the
provisions of section 2 of act of August 4, 1950, as amended (31
U.S.C. 5142), which placed the Bureau on a completely reimbursable
basis. The Bureau is headed by a Director, who is appointed by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing designs, prints, and finishes a
large variety of security products including Federal Reserve notes,
U.S. postage stamps, Treasury securities, identification cards, and
certificates. It also is responsible for advising and assisting
Federal agencies in the design and production of other government
documents that, because of their innate value or some other reason,
require security or counterfeit-deterrence characteristics.
The Bureau is the largest printer of security documents in the world;
over 40 billion security documents are printed annually. Total sales
for fiscal year 1990 reached $275 million. The Bureau's headquarters
are located in Washington, DC. In 1991, a second currency plant,
located in Fort Worth, TX, began operating and will produce 25 percent
of the U.S. currency requirement by 1995.

Treasury Department Order No. 217, effective March 2, 1970; Revision
1, effective June 30, 1970; and reaffirmed by Treasury Department
Order No. 140 01 of January 13, 1987.
The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center is headed by a Director,

The Center is an interagency training facility serving 70 Federal law
enforcement organizations. The major training effort is in the area of
basic programs to teach common areas of law enforcement skills to
police and investigative personnel. The Center also conducts advanced
programs in areas of common need, such as white-collar crime, the use
of microcomputers as an investigative tool, advanced law enforcement
photography, international banking/money laundering, marine law
enforcement, and several instructor training courses. In addition to
the basic and common advanced programs, the Center provides the
facilities and support services for participating organizations to
conduct advanced training for their own law enforcement personnel. The
Center offers selective, highly specialized training programs to State
and local officers as an aid in deterring crime. These programs
include a variety of areas such as fraud and financial investigations,
cargo theft investigations, juvenile justice topics, marine law
enforcement, and arson for profit.
The Center develops the curriculum content and training techniques for
recruit training, and advises and assists the participating
organizations in producing, formulating, and operating specialized
training materials and equipment.
Administrative and financial activities are supervised by the
Department of the Treasury. However, training policy, programs,
criteria, and standards are governed by the interagency Board of
Directors, comprised of senior officials from eight departments and

Financial Management Service
The mission of the Financial Management Service (FMS) is to improve
the quality of Government financial management. Its commitment and
responsibility is to help its Government customers achieve success. It
does this by linking program and financial management objectives and
by providing financial services, information, and advice to its
customers. FMS serves taxpayers, the Treasury Department, Federal
program agencies, and Government policymakers.
Working Capital Management The Service is responsible for programs to
improve cash management, credit management, debt collection, and
financial management systems governmentwide. For cash management, the
Service issues guidelines and regulations and assists other agencies
in managing financial transactions to maximize investment earnings and
reduce the interest costs of borrowed funds. For credit management,
the Service issues guidelines and regulations and assists program
agencies with management of credit activities, including loan
programs, to improve all parts of the credit cycle, such as credit
extension, loan servicing, debt collection, and write-off procedures.
The Service is presently working with other agencies to improve
financial management systems and the way government handles its
payments, collections, and receivables, and to take advantage of new
automation technology.
Payments The Service issues approximately 500 million Treasury checks
and close to 250 million electronic fund transfer payments annually
for Federal salaries and wages, payments to suppliers of goods and
services to the Federal Government, income tax refunds, and payments
under major Government programs such as social security and veterans'
benefits. The Service pays all Treasury checks and reconciles them
against the accounts of government disbursing officers, receives and
examines claims for checks that are cashed under forged endorsements
or that are lost, stolen, or destroyed; and issues new checks on
approved claims. The Service uses two electronic funds-transfer
methods: the automated clearinghouses for recurring payments such as
Government benefits and salaries and wire transfers through the
Fedline System. The latter is a computer-to-computer link with the
Federal Reserve System that allows for the electronic transfer of
funds to virtually any financial institution in the United States.
Collections The Service supervises the collection of Government
receipts and operates and maintains the systems for collecting these
receipts. The Service is working with all Federal agencies to improve
the availability of collected funds and the reporting of collection
information to Treasury. Current collection systems include the
Treasury General Account System, the Treasury Tax and Loan System for
withholding and other Federal tax deposits, and the Treasury National
Automated Lockbox System for accelerating the processing of agency
receipts.
Central Accounting and Reporting The Service maintains a central
system that accounts for the monetary assets and liabilities of the
Treasury and tracks Government collection and payment operations.
Periodic reports are prepared to show budget results, the Government's
overall financial status, and other financial operations. These
reports include the Daily Treasury Statement, the Monthly Treasury
Statement, the Quarterly Treasury Bulletin, the annual Treasury
Report, and the annual Treasury Consolidated Financial Statement.

Internal Revenue Service
The Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue was established by
act of July 1, 1862 (26 U.S.C. 7802).
The Internal Revenue Service is responsible for administering and
enforcing the internal revenue laws and related statutes, except those
relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives. Its mission is
to collect the proper amount of tax revenue at the least cost to the
public, and in a manner that warrants the highest degree of public
confidence in the Service's integrity, efficiency, and fairness. To
achieve that purpose, the Service will:
encourage and achieve the highest possible degree of voluntary
compliance in accordance with the tax laws and regulations;
advise the public of their rights and responsibilities;
determine the extent of compliance and the causes of noncompliance;
properly administer and enforce the tax laws; and
continually search for and implement new, more efficient ways of
accomplishing its mission.
Basic activities include:
ensuring satisfactory resolution of taxpayer complaints, providing
taxpayer service and education;
determining, assessing, and collecting internal revenue taxes;
determining pension plan qualifications and exempt organization
status; and
preparing and issuing rulings and regulations to supplement the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The source of most revenues collected is the individual income tax and
the social insurance and retirement taxes, with other major sources
being the corporation income, excise, estate, and gift taxes. Congress
first received authority to levy taxes on the income of individuals
and corporations in 1913, pursuant to the 16th amendment of the
Constitution.
Organization
Service organization is designed for maximum decentralization,
consistent with the need for uniform interpretation of the tax laws
and efficient utilization of resources. There are three organizational
levels: the National Office; the Regional Offices; and the District
Offices, Service Centers, and the Austin Compliance Center (in the
Southwest Region). Districts may have local offices the number and
location of which are determined by taxpayer and agency needs.
Headquarters Organization The National Office, located in Washington,
DC, develops nationwide policies and programs for the administration
of the internal revenue laws and provides overall direction to the
field organization. The Martinsburg Computing Center in Martinsburg,
WV, and the Detroit Computing Center in Detroit, MI, also are assigned
to the National Office.
Field Organization
As a decentralized organization, most agency personnel and activities
are assigned to field installations.
Regional Offices There are seven Regional Offices, each headed by a
Regional Commissioner, which supervise and evaluate the operations of
District Offices, Service Centers, and the Austin Compliance Center.

District Offices There are 62 Internal Revenue districts, each
administered by a District Director. Districts may encompass an entire
State, or a certain number of counties within a State, depending on
population. Programs of the District include taxpayer service,
examination, collection, criminal investigation, resources management,
and, in some districts, pension plans and exempt organizations.
Functions performed are: assistance and service to taxpayers,
determination of tax liability by examination of tax returns,
determination of pension plan qualification, collection of delinquent
returns and taxes, and investigation of criminal and civil violations
of internal revenue laws (except those relating to alcohol, tobacco,
firearms, and explosives). Directors are responsible for the deposit
of taxes collected by the District and for initial processing of
original applications for admission to practice before the Internal
Revenue Service and renewal issuances for those practitioners already
enrolled. Local offices may be established to meet taxpayer needs and
agency workload requirements.

Office of Thrift Supervision
The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) was established as a bureau of
the Treasury Department in August 1989 and became operational in
October 1989 as part of a major reorganization of the thrift
regulatory structure mandated by the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act. In that Act, Congress gave OTS authority
to charter Federal thrift institutions and serve as the primary
regulator of approximately 2,600 Federal and State-chartered thrifts
belonging to the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The Office
carries out this responsibility by adopting regulations governing the
savings and loan industry, by examining and supervising thrift
institutions and their affiliates, and by taking whatever action is
necessary to enforce their compliance with Federal law and
regulations. In addition to overseeing thrift institutions, OTS also
regulates, examines, and supervises companies that own thrifts and
controls the acquisition of thrifts by such holding companies.
The Office is headed by a Director appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate to serve a 5-year term. The Director also
serves on the boards of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
the Resolution Trust Corporation and, in addition, is a Director of
the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation.
To carry out its mission, OTS is organized into five main
divisions:
Washington Operations includes supervisory operations, policy, in
formation resources management, and the administration program areas
of OTS. This division develops national policy guidelines to enhance
statutes and regulations; establishes programs to implement new
policies and laws; develops and maintains surveillance systems that
monitor the condition of the industry and assist in identifying
emerging supervisory problem areas; develops and maintains financial
management and information systems; maintains human resources
programs; processes thrift institution applications; provides special
supervision of selected thrift institutions; and performs other
related functions.
Regional Operations examines and supervises thrift institutions in the
five OTS regions to ensure the safety and soundness of the industry.
It also oversees the training and development of Federal thrift
regulators through accredited programs. The regional offices are
headquartered in Jersey City, NJ; Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Dallas,
TX; and San Francisco, CA.
Chief Counsel provides a full range of legal services to the
Agency, including drafting regulations, representing the agency in
court, and taking enforcement actions against savings institutions
that violate laws or regulations. This office also processes corporate
filings required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
Congressional Affairs interacts with members of Congress, congres
sional staff, and committee members on behalf of OTS as well as
executive-level personnel at other Federal agencies to accomplish the
legislative objectives of the Agency. This division disseminates
information to the Congress pertaining to the OTS supervisory,
regulatory, and enforcement activities and policies, and manages
congressional-liaison programs.
Public Affairs oversees dissemination of information concerning OTS
regulations, policies, and key developments within the Agency. It
convenes press conferences and distributes news releases to the
public. It communicates and explains policy directives, objectives,
and actions of the Agency by establishing and maintaining effective
liaisons with the media, the general public, the thrift industry, all
Government agencies, and other key constituencies.
This division provides a full range of audiovisual services, including
creation of original designs for agency publications, graphics,
desktop publishing, and editorial and production assistance. The
division also maintains an archive of business records and documented
actions of OTS and its predecessor, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board;
responds to Freedom of Information requests; and maintains a public
reference room for viewing securities filing and other public documents.
The Office is a nonappropriated agency and thus uses no tax money to
fund its operations. Its expenses are met by fees and assessments on
the thrift institutions it regulates.
For further information, contact the Communications Division, Office
of Thrift Supervision, 1700 G Street NW., Washington, DC 20552. Phone,
202 906 6913.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
The Department of Veterans Affairs operates programs to benefit
veterans and members of their families. Benefits include compensation
payments for disabilities or death related to military service;
pensions; education and rehabilitation; home loan guaranty; burial;
and a medical care program incorporating nursing homes, clinics, and
medical centers.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was established as an
executive department by the Department of Veterans Affairs Act (38
U.S.C. 201 note). The Department's predecessor, the Veterans
Administration, had been established as an independent agency under
the President by Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, in accordance
with the act of July 3, 1930 (46 Stat. 1016). This act authorized the
President to consolidate and coordinate the U.S. Veterans Bureau, the
Bureau of Pensions, and the National Home for Volunteer Soldiers.
#ENDCARD
#CARD
The Department of Veterans Affairs comprises three organizations that
administer veterans programs: the Veterans Health Administration, the
Veterans Benefits Administration, and the National Cemetery System.
Each organization has field facilities and a Central Office component.
The Central Office also includes separate offices that provide support
to the top organizations' operations as well as to top VA executives.
Top Central Office managers report to the highest level of Department
management, which consists of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and
the Deputy Secretary.
Assistant Secretaries Six Assistant Secretaries provide policy
guidance, operational support, and managerial oversight to the
Secretary and Deputy Secretary, the administrations, and other top
offices.
The Assistant Secretary for Finance and Information Resources
Management is VA's Chief Financial Officer and manages the
Department's budget process and fiscal operations. The Assistant
Secretary also oversees VA's information resources management
programs, which include integration and acquisition of automated data
processing and telecommunications activities.
The Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning is responsible for
managing the Secretary's policy analysis and planning processes and
integrating both into the Secretary's Strategic Management Process.
The Assistant Secretary for Acquisition and Facilities provides
management oversight of departmentwide capital facilities and real
property programs, acquisition and materiel management activities,
retail and food resale activities, and environmental affairs programs.
The Assistant Secretary also serves as VA's senior procurement
executive in accordance with Executive Order 12352 of March 17, 1982.
The Assistant Secretary for Human Resources and Administration
provides direction and oversight of the Department's personnel and
labor relations, equal employment opportunity, and security and law
enforcement programs. The Assistant Secretary also provides direction
and oversight of Central Office administration and serves as the
Department's designated safety and health official.
The Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs
provides executive management for coordination of the information that
VA communicates to the general public through the news media and
provisions of policy guidance in public and intergovernmental
affairs.
The Assistant Secretary for Congressional Affairs is responsible for
coordinating the Department's relations and activities with the
legislative branch; serves as the focal point for all departmental
interaction, management, and coordination of congressional affairs
activities; and is the primary point of contact on all policy matters
with Congress and on all actions between the Offices of the Secretary
and the Deputy Secretary and Members of Congress and their staffs.
Inspector General The Office of Inspector General was established on
January 1, 1978, to consolidate audit, investigation, and related
operations into a cohesive, independent organization. The Office is
headed by an Inspector General who reports directly to the Secretary
of Veterans Affairs. The Inspector General has the authority to
inquire into all VA programs and activities of persons or parties
performing under grants, contracts, or other agreements. The Inspector
General is required to keep the Secretary and Congress fully informed
about the problems and deficiencies in VA programs and operations and
the need for corrective action.
General Counsel The General Counsel is the Department's chief legal
officer on all matters of law, litigation, and legislation. The
General Counsel prepares, for the Secretary's approval, legislative
initiatives for submission to OMB and Congress. The General Counsel
interprets all laws pertaining to the Department, has final legal
authority in issuing Department regulations implementing those laws,
holds responsibility for the conduct of litigation both independently
and in coordination with the Justice Department in State and Federal
courts, the U.S. Court of Veterans Appeals, the Federal Circuit Court
of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Board of Veterans Appeals The Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA) conducts
the appellate program for the Secretary of Veterans Affairs with
statutory jurisdiction to make final VA decisions on appeals involving
all benefits administered by VA under 38 United States Code 4001 4010.
The Board is headed by a Chairman, who is a Presidential appointee
confirmed by the Senate, and is directly responsible to the Secretary
of Veterans Affairs. There are 66 Board members who are appointees of
the Secretary and under the control and supervision of the Chairman.
Each BVA decision is signed by approximately three Board members
acting as agents of the Secretary. The mission of BVA is to ensure
that appellants are afforded due process of law and receive all
benefits to which they are entitled in nonadversarial proceedings.
Final BVA decisions are appealable to the United States Court of
Veterans Appeals.
Board of Contract Appeals The Board of Contract Appeals was
established on March 1, 1979, pursuant to the Contact Disputes Act of
1978 (41 U.S.C. 601 613). The Board is a statutory, quasi-judicial
tribunal that hears and decides appeals from decisions of Contracting
Officers on claims relating to contracts awarded by VA, or by any
other agency when such agency or the Administrator for Federal
Procurement Policy has designated the Board to decide the appeal.
In August 1985, the Board's jurisdiction was expanded to include
applications for attorney fees and expenses under the Equal Access to
Justice Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 504 note). Board decisions are final
within VA, but may be appealed, either by the Government or by the
contractor, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit.

Health Services (Veterans)
The Veterans Health Administration, formerly the Department of
Medicine and Surgery, provides hospital, nursing home, and domiciliary
care, and outpatient medical and dental care to eligible veterans of
military service in the Armed Forces. It operates 172 medical centers,
27 domiciliaries, 260 outpatient clinics, 122 nursing home care units,
and 198 Vietnam Veteran Outreach Centers in the United States, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Republic of the Philippines, and
provides for similar care under VA auspices in non-VA hospitals and
community nursing homes and for visits by veterans to non-VA
physicians and dentists for outpatient treatment. It also supports
veterans under care in hospitals, nursing homes, and domiciliaries
operated by 35 States. Under the Civilian Health and Medical Program,
dependents of certain veterans are provided with medical care supplied
by non-VA institutions and physicians.
The Administration conducts both individual medical and health-care
delivery research projects and multihospital research programs. It
assists in the education of physicians and dentists, and with training
of many other health care professionals through affiliations with
educational institutions and organizations. These programs are all
conducted as prescribed by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs pursuant
to sections 4101 4115 of title 38 of the United States Code and other
statutory authority and regulations.

of all matters related to individual insurance accounts is handled by
the Regional Office and Insurance Centers in Philadelphia, PA, and St.

activities necessary for a national life insurance program. Activities
include the complete maintenance of individual accounts, underwriting
functions, and life and death insurance claims awards, as well as any
other insurance-related transactions.

Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance program for those disabled veterans
who receive a VA grant for specially adapted housing. Accounts are
maintained at the Regional Office and Insurance Center in St. Paul,
MN.

Servicemen's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) and Veterans Group Life
Insurance (VGLI) programs. Both programs are handled through the
Office of Servicemen's Group Life Insurance, 231 Washington Street,
Newark, NJ 07102.
Veterans Assistance Through the Veterans Assistance Service,
information, advice, and assistance are provided to veterans, their
dependents and beneficiaries, representatives, and others in applying
for benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. In
addition, the Veterans Assistance Service cooperates with the
Department of Labor and other Federal, State, and local agencies in
developing employment opportunities for veterans, and referral for
assistance in resolving socioeconomic, housing, and other related
problems.
The Service is responsible for maintaining a benefits protection
program (fiduciary activities) for minors and incompetent adult
beneficiaries. It also provides field investigative services for other
VA components. It ensures compliance by schools and training
institutions with VA directives. It also ensures compliance with title
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d); title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681); section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794); and the Age Discrimination

service available in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico.
The Veterans Assistance Service also has the responsibility of
providing information regarding veterans benefits to the various
branches of the Armed Forces here and abroad and to veterans residing
in foreign countries through United States embassies and consular
offices, and of coordinating veterans' activities with foreign
governments.

National Cemetery System
The National Cemetery System (NCS) provides services to veterans and
their families by operating national cemeteries; furnishing headstones

Field Facilities
Insurance Centers Two field sites house all individual insurance
records covering service members and veterans under the Government
administered programs: WW I United States Government Life Insurance;
WW II National Service Life Insurance; Post-Korean Conflict; Veterans
Reopened Insurance for the disabled of WW II and Korea; and
Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance, the only Government administered
program open for new issues to disabled veterans only.
The two field locations are the VA Regional Office and Insurance
Centers in Philadelphia, PA, and St. Paul, MN. All World War I
insurance accounts, accounts for which the premium is paid by
allotment from military service pay, and those paid by deduction from
VA compensation or preauthorized debit are located at Philadelphia.
All remaining insurance accounts are geographically distributed
between the two VA Centers with the Mississippi River serving as the
approximate line of division. The Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Center
is also responsible for formulating policy for the veterans insurance
programs.
The insurance functions performed by the two field stations include
the total range of insurance operations to provide individual policy,
underwriting, and life and death insurance claims service for service
members, veterans, and their beneficiaries.
Regional Office Department of Veterans Affairs regional offices:
grant benefits and services provided by law for veterans, their
dependents, and beneficiaries within an assigned territory;
furnish information regarding VA benefits and services;
adjudicate claims and makes awards for disability compensation and
pension;
supervise the payment of VA benefits to incompetent beneficiaries;
aid, guide, and prescribe vocational rehabilitation training and
administer educational benefits;
guarantee loans for purchase of manufactured homes and lots and
condominium units, purchase or construction or alteration of homes and
farm residences, and under certain conditions, guarantee refinancing
loans;
process grants for specially adapted housing;
process death claims;
assist the veteran in exercising rights to benefits and services;
and
supervise VA offices under their jurisdiction.
The offices are also responsible for veterans assistance activities,
including coordination of efforts of participating agencies in an
``outreach'' program to assist returning service members, particularly
those who are educationally disadvantaged.
Services to U.S. veterans in most foreign countries normally are
provided by the VA Regional Office, District of Columbia. The Honolulu
Regional Office serves the Islands of American Samoa, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Wake, and Midway and the Trust
Territory of the Pacific Islands. U.S. veterans in the Virgin Islands
and Mexico are served by the San Juan and Houston offices,
respectively. Service is provided in cooperation with embassy staffs
of the Department of State.
Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, District of Columbia
The Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, District of
Columbia, is a typical regional office with additional functions. It
has global jurisdiction and grants benefits and services provided by
law for veterans and their beneficiaries and dependents residing
outside the territorial limits of the United States, and it
adjudicates certain unusual claims and actions not common to all
regional offices, such as WW I adjusted compensation death cases,
forfeiture cases, and benefits under special enactments provided by
the Congress. It also maintains liaison with the Treasury Department
on types and methods of payments to recipients in foreign countries.
VA Office The VA office provides veterans assistance and such other
services as cannot be conveniently provided to veterans, their
dependents and beneficiaries, and others in a given locality by a
regional office or center.
Medical Center Veterans Affairs Medical Centers provide eligible
beneficiaries with medical and other health care services equivalent
to those provided by private-sector institutions, augmented in many
instances by services to meet the special requirements of veterans.
One hundred and thirty-three VA medical facilities are affiliated with
104 medical facilities for residency training; 72 VA medical
facilities are affiliated with 59 dental schools; and all centers
cooperate with one or more educational institutions in programs of
nursing, associated health professions and occupations, and
administrative training and related research, both in individual
projects and in association with other VA medical centers in broad
cooperative studies. There are 106 nursing home care units associated
with VA medical centers to provide skilled nursing care and related
medical services to patients who are no longer in need of hospital
care.
VA Regional Office and Insurance Center Veterans Affairs Regional
Office and Insurance Centers combine a regional office and an
insurance center under the jurisdiction of one director.
VA Medical and Regional Office Center Veterans Affairs Medical and
Regional Office Centers combine a regional office and a medical center
or a regional office, medical center, and domiciliary under the
jurisdiction of one director.
Domiciliary Veterans Affairs Domiciliaries provide the least intensive
level of inpatient medical care. This includes necessary ambulatory
medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support services in a
structured environment to veterans who are unable because of their
disabilities to provide adequately for themselves in the community.
Outpatient Clinic Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinics provide eligible
beneficiaries with ambulatory care.
VA National Cemetery Veterans Affairs National Cemeteries are the
final resting place for burial of the remains of veterans, their
spouses, and certain eligible dependents. Memorial markers for
veterans whose remains are not available for burial may also be placed
in a national cemetery. These cemeteries are designated as national
shrines created in tribute to the sacrifices of all Americans who have
served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

ACTION mobilizes Americans for voluntary service throughout the United
States through programs that help meet basic human needs and support
the self-help efforts of low-income individuals and communities.
ACTION is the principal agency in the Federal Government for
administering volunteer service programs. It was created as an
independent agency under the provisions of Reorganization Plan No. 1
of 1971 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective July 1, 1971, and Executive Order
11603 of June 30, 1971, with legislative authority provided by the
Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4951).
ACTION administers and coordinates the domestic volunteer programs
sponsored by the Federal Government, which are linked by a commitment
to a ``bottom-up,'' locally initiated development process fostering
self-reliance and utilizes available human and economic resources to
overcome conditions of poverty. Through special demonstration grants
and programs, ACTION also tests new ways of bringing volunteer
resources to bear on human, social, and economic problems. It
identifies and develops the widest possible range of volunteer service
opportunities for Americans of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. The
Agency actively encourages private-sector involvement in support of
its goals and programs.
ACTION includes Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), the Foster
Grandparent Program (FGP), the Retired Senior Volunteer Program
(RSVP), the Senior Companion Program (SCP), the Demonstration Grant
Program, the Mini-Grant Program, the Technical Assistance Program, and
the State offices of voluntarism.
ACTION consists of a Washington, DC, headquarters and 9 regional
offices, supporting 45 individual State offices and Puerto Rico.

Domestic Programs and Activities
Foster Grandparents The Foster Grandparent Program was created in 1965
and offers older men and women opportunities for close relationships
with children having special or exceptional needs. It is an
opportunity for older Americans to continue serving their communities
and themselves in an active and meaningful capacity.
Foster Grandparents are low-income persons at least 60 years of age
and come from various backgrounds. They receive both preservice
orientation and inservice instruction. Volunteers serve 20 hours per
week, receive a nontaxable stipend of $2.35 per hour, as well as
provisions for reimbursement of travel costs, a meal each day they
serve, accident and liability insurance coverage, and a yearly
physical examination. Under certain conditions, nonstipended
volunteers may be enrolled in the program.
Foster Grandparents serve in schools and hospitals for mentally
retarded, disturbed, and handicapped children; in care centers,
hospital wards, and corrections institutions; in homes for
disadvantaged, dependent, or neglected children; and other settings
within the community. An increased percentage of Foster Grandparents
are being encouraged to serve in settings dealing with literacy, drug
abuse, and runaway youth, including some inhome placements.
The Foster Grandparents' main purpose is to help provide for the
emotional, mental, and physical well-being of children by affording
them close, personal, and continuing relations with an adult. They
furnish a renewed sense of love and intimacy often missing in
institutional environments. They also may assist in feeding and
dressing the children, reading, playing games, telling them stories,
and aiding in speech and physical therapy and other care-giving
activities that tend to maximize the functional capabilities of these
children.
For further information, call 202 634 9349.
Retired Senior Volunteers The purpose of the Retired Senior Volunteer
Program is to create a variety of significant opportunities for
persons of retirement age to participate more fully in the life of
their communities through volunteer service.
The program's projects are planned, organized, and operated at the
local level and developed under the auspices of an established
organization able to generate local program and financial support.
Volunteers must be at least 60 years of age and willing and able to
serve on a regular basis. There are no income or educational
restrictions. Volunteers perform various services, according to
community need and their own preferences, in a variety of settings,
including schools, courts, and health care, rehabilitation, day care,
youth, and other community centers. They also serve in outreach roles
within their community.
For further information, call 202 634 9353.
Senior Companions The Senior Companion Program provides meaningful
part-time volunteer opportunities for low-income, older persons to
render, in a mutually beneficial relationship, supportive
person-to-person services to adults, especially older people, with
special needs in health-, education-, and welfare-related settings.
Under the sponsorship and supervision of an approved agency, the
Senior Companion serves in and through a variety of settings such as
hospitals, social service agencies, or home and health care agencies.
Over 80 percent of the Senior Companions are serving older persons in
their own homes in order to prevent or delay inappropriate
institutionalization. Senior Companions receive the same benefits as
Foster Grandparents for 20 hours of service per week. Under certain
conditions, nonstipended volunteers may be enrolled in the program.
For further information, call 202 634 9349.
Volunteers in Service to America The creation of Volunteers in Service
to America was authorized by Congress in 1964 to provide constructive
opportunities for Americans to work on a full-time basis with locally
sponsored projects designed to increase the capability of low-income
people to improve the condition of their own lives. Volunteers are
assigned to local sponsors, which may be Federal or State agencies or
private, nonprofit organizations located in the United States, Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Volunteers serve for 1 year. More
than half of the program's resources focus upon illiteracy,
unemployment, hunger, and homelessness.
Volunteers live and work among the poor in urban or rural areas or on
Indian reservations. They share their skills and experience in fields
such as drug abuse prevention, education, literacy, runaway youth,
refugee resettlement, community design, weatherization, economic
development, and emergency food and shelter. Most volunteers are
recruited locally for community projects. Approximately 20 percent of
the volunteers are age 55 and over. A volunteer must be a resident of
the United States or one of its territories. A physical disability
does not disqualify a volunteer, providing placement can be made on a
project.
Volunteers participate in orientation and training sessions conducted
by ACTION and sponsor personnel at the beginning of and during
service. Volunteers receive a basic subsistence allowance, which
covers housing, food, and incidentals. Health insurance also is
provided. An additional $90 a month is paid as a stipend upon
completion of service.
For further information, call the Director, VISTA and Student
Service. Phone, 202 634 9445.
Student Community Service Projects Student Community Service Projects
are designed to encourage students to undertake volunteer service in
their communities in such a way as to enhance the educational value of
the service experience through participation in activities which
address poverty-related problems. Student volunteers must be enrolled
in secondary, secondary vocational, or postsecondary schools on an
in-school or out-of-school basis. They serve part-time and do not
receive stipends.
The service opportunities must result in student volunteers gaining
learning experiences through service in low-income communities,
whether or not they receive academic credit.
The intent of Student Community Service Projects is to join community,
school, and youth in developing the scope and nature of volunteer
experiences that serve the needs of impoverished communities while
securing resources by which the effort can be continued and expanded,
if needed, after Federal support ends.
Local communities determine what their problems are and how best to
solve them. ACTION resources may be made available to assist in
helping communities solve some of their problems through fostering
student volunteer service. The community must generate increasing
resources to enable the project to continue once ACTION grant funds
are no longer provided. Technical assistance and training in project
management, fundraising, and recruiting will be provided by ACTION as required.
For further information, contact the Student Community Service
Projects. Phone, 202 634 9424.
Program Demonstration and Development Division
The programs in the Program Demonstration and Development Division
were developed to provide links at national, State, and local levels
among public and private organizations to encourage volunteer activity
in solving social problems.
Demonstration Projects The Division is responsible for the development
of special emphasis and demonstration programs that focus on certain
areas of concern where volunteers can make a special contribution in
ameliorating human and social problems. These volunteer demonstration
programs test models that, if successful, may form the basis of the
agency's programming or may be adopted by the private sector and State
or local governments.
Drug Alliance Office The Office coordinates the Agency's drug abuse
prevention and education activities, awards grants that strengthen and
expand local volunteer activities combating drug use among youth and
the misuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs by the elderly,
provides training and technical assistance, and conducts public
awareness and education efforts.
Mini-Grants The Mini-Grant Program offers one-time, 1-year seed money
grants to support volunteer projects and enhance volunteer activities
that show potential for providing long-term solutions to community
problems. All projects must show substantial local support and respond
to funding priorities established and publicized yearly. The program
offers access to nonprofit groups of small grants through streamlined
procedures.
Technical Assistance The Technical Assistance Program provides
referrals and technical resources to organizations that work with
volunteers and occasionally provides funds for the development of
training and technical assistance material.
Volunteer Efforts Government's Involvement in Volunteer Efforts (GIVE)
programs promote increased Federal employee voluntarism in nearly all
Federal departments and agencies.
National Volunteer Week National Volunteer Week, designated in April
of each year by the President, promotes special recognition of
volunteers and their achievements among Federal agencies, State and
local governments, and private organizations that use volunteers
nationwide.

Development Division. Phone, 202 634 9757.

[For the Administrative Conference of the United States statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 1, Part 301]
The Administrative Conference develops recommendations for improving
the procedures by which Federal agencies administer regulatory,
benefit, and other Government programs. Conference members are agency
heads, other Federal officials, private lawyers, university
professors, and other experts in administrative law and government who
meet to consider studies of selected problems involving administrative
procedures. They combine their experience and judgment in cooperative
efforts toward improving the fairness and effectiveness of agency
procedures.
The Administrative Conference of the United States was established as
a permanent independent agency by the Administrative Conference Act (5
U.S.C. 571 576) enacted in 1964. The statutory provisions prescribing
the organization and activities of the Conference are based in part
upon the experience of two temporary Conferences called by the
President in 1953 and 1961, each of which operated for 18 months.
Membership
The Chairman of the Administrative Conference of the United States is
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate
for a 5-year term. The Council, which is the executive board, consists
of the Chairman and 10 other members appointed by the President for
3-year terms. Federal officials named to the Council may constitute no
more than one-half of the total Council membership. In addition to the
Chairman and the Council, the membership of the Administrative
Conference is composed of 50 high-level officials designated from 47
departments and agencies of the Federal Government and 40 private
lawyers, university faculty members, and others specially informed in
law and government. Members representing the private sector are
appointed by the Chairman, with the approval of the Council, for
2-year terms. The Chairman is the only full-time compensated member.
The entire membership is divided into committees, each assigned a
broad area of interest such as adjudication, administration,
governmental processes, judicial review, regulation, or rulemaking.
The membership meeting in plenary session is called the Assembly of
the Administrative Conference, which by statute must meet at least
once, and customarily meets twice, each year.
Activities
Subjects for inquiry are developed by the Chairman and approved by the
Council. The committees, with staff assistance, conduct thorough
studies of these subjects, propose recommendations, and prepare
supporting reports. Recommendations are evaluated by the Council and,
if ready for Assembly consideration, are distributed to the membership
with the supporting reports and placed on the agenda of the next
plenary session. The Assembly has complete authority to approve,
amend, remand, or reject recommendations presented by the committees.
The deliberations of the committees and Assembly are public.
The Chairman is authorized to encourage the departments and agencies
to adopt the recommendations of the Conference and is required to
transmit to the President and to Congress an annual report and interim
reports concerning the activities of the Conference, including reports
on the implementation of its recommendations.
Recommendations adopted by the Conference may call for new legislation
or for action on the part of affected agencies. A substantial number
of recommendations have been implemented and others are in the process
of implementation.
The Chairman may make independent inquiries into procedural matters,
including matters proposed by individuals inside or outside the
Government. The purpose of such inquiries into such individual
problems is to determine whether the problems should be made the
subject of Conference study in the interest of developing fair and
effective procedures for such cases.
Upon the request of the head of a department or agency, the Chairman
is authorized to furnish advice and assistance on matters of
administrative procedure. The Conference may collect information and
statistics from departments and agencies and publish such reports as
it considers useful for evaluating and improving administrative
processes. The Conference also serves as a forum for the interchange
among departments and agencies of information that may be useful in
improving administrative practices and procedures.
Sources of Information
The Conference furnishes upon request copies of its recent
recommendations and reports. It also maintains a library where copies
of all official Conference documents are available for public
inspection. Recommendations of the Conference appear in title 1, part
305, of the Code of Federal Regulations.

that are indigenous to particular countries in Africa and that can
respond to the requirements of the poor in those countries.
To carry out its purposes, the Foundation makes grants, loans, and
loan guarantees to any African private group, association, or other
entity engaged in peaceful activities that enable the people of Africa
to develop more fully.

Commission is composed of 23 members, 20 of whom are appointed by the
President. The Chief Justice of the United States, the President pro
tempore of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, or their designees, are also members. The Chairman is
designated by the President.
One of the chief responsibilities of the Commission is to encourage
private organizations and State and local governments to organize and
participate in bicentennial activities that commemorate and examine
the drafting, ratification, and history of the Constitution.
The Commission seeks cooperation, advice, and assistance from both
private and governmental agencies and organizations in carrying out
its responsibilities and also delegates authority to State advisory
commissions to assist in this effort. Additionally, the Commission
serves as a clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of
information about bicentennial events and plans.
The celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Constitution will
continue through 1991. Every State, city, town, organization, family,
and individual in the Nation will be invited to participate, and each
community will be encouraged to conduct its own commemoration.

[For the Commodity Futures Trading Commission statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 17, Part
140]
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission promotes healthy economic
growth, protects the rights of customers, and ensures fairness and
integrity in the marketplace through regulation of futures trading. To
this end it also engages in the analysis of economic issues affected
by or affecting futures trading.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal regulatory
agency for futures trading, was established by the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission Act of 1974 (7 U.S.C. 4a). The Commission began
operation in April 1975, and its authority to regulate futures trading
was renewed by Congress in 1978, 1982, and 1986.
The Commission consists of five Commissioners who are appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate. One Commissioner
is designated by the President to serve as Chairman. The Commissioners
serve staggered 5-year terms, and by law no more than three
Commissioners can belong to the same political party.
There exist five major operating components in the Commission: the
divisions of enforcement, economic analysis, trading and markets, and
the offices of the executive director and the general counsel.
Activities
The Commission regulates trading on the 14 U.S. futures exchanges,
which offer active futures and options contracts. It also regulates
the activities of numerous commodity exchange members, public
brokerage houses (futures commission merchants), Commission-registered
futures industry salespeople and associated persons, commodity trading
advisers, and commodity pool operators. Some off-exchange transactions
involving instruments similar in nature to futures contracts also fall
under Commission jurisdiction.
The Commission's regulatory and enforcement efforts are designed to
ensure that the futures trading process is fair and that it protects
both the rights of customers and the financial integrity of the
marketplace. It approves the rules under which an exchange proposes to
operate and monitors exchange enforcement of those rules. It reviews
the terms of proposed futures contracts, and registers companies and
individuals who handle customer funds or give trading advice. The
Commission also protects the public by enforcing rules that require
that customer funds be kept in bank accounts separate from accounts
maintained by firms for their own use, and that such customer accounts
be marked to present market value at the close of trading each day.
Futures contracts for agricultural commodities were traded in the
United States for more than 100 years before futures trading was
diversified to include trading in contracts for precious metals, raw
materials, foreign currencies, commercial interest rates, and U.S.
Government and mortgage securities. Contract diversification has grown
in exchange trading in both traditional and newer commodities.
Large regional offices are maintained in Chicago, IL, and New York,
NY, where many of the Nation's futures exchanges are located. Smaller
regional offices are located in Kansas City, MO, and Los Angeles, CA.
A suboffice of the Kansas City regional office is located in
Minneapolis, MN.

w336,d550 [Insert Environmental Protection Agency chart]
The Environmental Protection Agency protects and enhances our
environment today and for future generations to the fullest extent
possible under the laws enacted by Congress. The Agency's mission is
to control and abate pollution in the areas of air, water, solid
waste, pesticides, radiation, and toxic substances. Its mandate is to
mount an integrated, coordinated attack on environmental pollution in
cooperation with State and local governments.
The Environmental Protection Agency was established in the executive
branch as an independent agency pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 3
of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective December 2, 1970.
The Environmental Protection Agency was created to permit coordinated
and effective governmental action on behalf of the environment. It
endeavors to abate and control pollution systematically, by proper
integration of a variety of research, monitoring, standard setting,
and enforcement activities. As a complement to its other activities,
the Agency coordinates and supports research and antipollution
activities by State and local governments, private and public groups,
individuals, and educational institutions. It also reinforces efforts
among other Federal agencies with respect to the impact of their
operations on the environment, and it is specifically charged with
publishing its determinations when those hold that a proposal is
unsatisfactory from the standpoint of public health or welfare or
environmental quality. In all, the Environmental Protection Agency is
designed to serve as the public's advocate for a livable environment.
Activities
Air and Radiation The air activities of the Agency include:
development of national programs, technical policies, and regulations
for air pollution control;
enforcement of standards;
development of national standards for air quality, emission standards
for new stationary and mobile sources, and emission standards for
hazardous pollutants;
technical direction, support, and evaluation of regional air
activities; and
provision of training in the field of air pollution control.
Related activities include technical assistance to States and agencies
having radiation protection programs, including radon mitigation
programs; a national surveillance and inspection program for measuring
radiation levels in the environment.
For further information, call 202 382 7400.
Water The Agency's water quality activities represent a coordinated
effort to restore the Nation's waters. The functions of this program
include:
development of national programs, technical policies, and regulations
for water pollution control and water supply;
ground water protection;
marine and estuarine protection;
enforcement of standards;
water quality standards and effluent guidelines development;
technical direction, support, and evaluation of regional water
activities;
development of programs for technical assistance and technology
transfer; and
provision of training in the field of water quality.
For further information, call 202 382 5700.
Solid Waste and Emergency Response The Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response provides policy, guidance, and direction for the
Agency's hazardous waste and emergency response programs. The
functions of these programs include:
development of policies, standards, and regulations for hazardous
waste treatment, storage, and disposal;
national management of the Superfund toxic waste cleanup program;
development of guidelines for the emergency preparedness and
``Community Right to Know'' programs;
development of guidelines and standards for underground storage
tanks;
enforcement of applicable laws and regulations;
analysis of technologies and methods for the recovery of useful
energy from solid waste; and
provision of technical assistance in the development, management, and
operation of waste management activities.
For further information, call 202 382 4610.
Pesticides and Toxic Substances The Office of Pesticides and Toxic
Substances is responsible for:
developing national strategies for the control of toxic substances;
directing the pesticides and toxic substances enforcement
activities;
developing criteria for assessing chemical substances, standards for
test protocols for chemicals, rules and procedures for industry
reporting and regulations for the control of substances deemed to be
hazardous to man or the environment; and
evaluating and assessing the impact of existing chemicals, new
chemicals, and chemicals with new uses to determine the hazard and, if
needed, develop appropriate restrictions.
Additional activities include:
controlling and regulating pesticides and reducing their use t
o ensure human safety and protection of environmental quality;
establishing tolerance levels for pesticides that occur in or on
food;
monitoring pesticide residue levels in food, humans, and nontarget
fish and wildlife and their environments; and
investigating pesticide accidents.
It also coordinates activities under its statutory responsibilities
with other agencies for the assessment and control of toxic substances
and pesticides.
For further information, call 202 382 2902.
Research and Development The Office of Research and Development is
responsible for a national research program in pursuit of
technological controls of all forms of pollution. It directly
supervises the research activities of the Agency's national
laboratories and gives technical policy direction to those
laboratories that support the program responsibilities of the regional
offices. Close coordination of the various research programs is
designed to yield a synthesis of knowledge from the biological,
physical, and social sciences that can be interpreted in terms of
total human and environmental needs.
General functions include management of selected demonstration
programs, planning for Agency environmental quality monitoring
programs, coordination of Agency monitoring efforts with those of
other Federal agencies, the States, and other public bodies, and
dissemination of Agency research, development, and demonstration
results.
For further information, call 202 382 7676.
Regional Offices
The Agency's 10 regional offices represent its commitment to the
development of strong local programs for pollution abatement. The
Regional Administrators are the Agency's principal representatives in
the regions in contacts and relationships with Federal, State,
interstate and local agencies, industry, academic institutions, and
other public and private groups. They are responsible for
accomplishing within their regions the national program objectives
established by the Agency. They develop, propose, and implement an
approved regional program for comprehensive and integrated
environmental protection activities.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION
The purpose of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is to
eliminate discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, or age in hiring, promoting, firing, setting wages, testing,
training, apprenticeship, and all other terms and conditions of
employment. The Commission conducts investigations of alleged
discrimination; makes determinations based on gathered evidence;
attempts conciliation when reasonable allegations of discrimination
has taken place; files lawsuits; and provides voluntary assistance
programs for employers, unions, and community organizations. The
Commission also has oversight responsibility for all compliance and
enforcement activities relating to equal employment opportunity among
Federal employees and applicants, including discrimination against
individuals with disabilities.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was created by
title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e), and
became operational July 2, 1965. Title VII was amended by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and the Pregnancy Discrimination
Act of 1978 (42 U.S.C. 2000e).
Executive Order 12067 of June 30, 1978, abolished the Equal Employment
Opportunity Coordinating Council and transferred its duties to the
Commission with responsibility for providing coherence and direction
to the Government's equal employment opportunity efforts. The same
Executive order required that strong uniform enforcement standards be
applied throughout the Government, and it provided for standardized
data collection procedures and joint training programs, the sharing of
enforcement-related data among agencies, and the development of
methods and priorities for complaint and compliance reviews.
Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978 (5 U.S.C. app.) effective January 1,
1979, transferred Federal equal employment functions from the Civil
Service Commission to the EEOC. Authorities for transferred functions
include:
section 717 of title VII (42 U.S.C. 2000e 16), which prohibits
discrimination in employment in the Federal Government on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;
Executive Order 11478 of August 8, 1969, which sets forth the U.S.
policy of providing for equal employment opportunity in the Federal
Government through affirmative action programs in Federal departments
and agencies;
the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206) in the Federal sector;
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (29
U.S.C. 621) in the Federal sector; and
section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791), which
pertains to employment discrimination against handicapped persons in
the Federal Government.
On July 1, 1979, responsibility for enforcement in private industry as
well as in State and local governments of the Equal Pay Act of 1963
and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was transferred
from the Department of Labor to the Commission. The former act
prohibits sex-based pay differences where substantially equal work
performed in the same establishment under similar working conditions
is of equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and the latter
prohibits employment discrimination against workers or applicants 40
years of age or older. In addition to employers, the age
discrimination act covers activities of employment agencies, and both
acts cover activities of labor organizations.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.)
was approved on July 26, 1990. Title I of the act will be enforced by
EEOC and becomes effective on July 26, 1992, and July 26, 1994, on a
phase-in basis. Title I covers private employers, State and local
governments, employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint
labor-management committees. The act prohibits employment
discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities and
requires that employers make reasonable allowances for their physical
and mental limitations. These provisions are only relaxed when their
enforcement would adversely affect the operations of a business.
9The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 specifically incorporates
the powers, remedies, and procedures contained in title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. After July 26, 1992, employment
discrimination charges based on disability may be filed at any of the
Commission's field offices. The Commission will investigate and
attempt to conciliate the charges using the same procedures it uses to
investigate and conciliate charges filed under title VII. The
litigation procedures under this title will also apply to charges
filed under the act.
The Commission operates through 50 field offices, each of which
processes complaints and performs various legal functions.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION
Activities
Enforcement The Commission's field offices receive written charges of
job discrimination under title VII and the equal pay and age
discrimination in employment acts. They also receive written or oral
charges and complaints under the acts, and field offices may initiate
investigations to find violations of the acts. Members of the
Commission also may initiate charges alleging that a violation of
title VII has occurred. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
covers Federal employees and applicants only.
Charges Under Title VII Title VII prohibits employment discrimination
based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin by private
employers, State and local governments, and educational institutions
with 15 or more employees, or by the Federal Government, private and
public employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint
labor-management committees for apprenticeship and training.
Charges of title VII violations outside of the Federal sector must be
filed with the Commission within 180 days of the alleged violation (or
up to 300 days in a State or locality in which a fair employment
practices agency is located), and the Commission is responsible for
notifying persons so charged within 10 days of the receipt of a new
charge. Before investigation, charges must be deferred for 60 days to
a State or local fair employment practices agency in States and
municipalities where an enforceable fair employment practices law
exists. The deferral period is 120 days if the agency has been
operating less than 1 year. Under worksharing agreements executed
between the Commission and State and local fair employment practices
agencies, the Commission routinely will assume jurisdiction over
certain charges of discrimination and proceed with its investigation
rather than wait for the expiration of the deferral period.
If there is reasonable cause to believe the charge is true, the
district, area, or local office attempts to remedy the alleged
unlawful practices through informal methods of conciliation,
conference, and persuasion. If an acceptable conciliation agreement is
not secured, the case is submitted to the Commission for possible
litigation. If litigation is approved, the Commission will bring suit
in an appropriate Federal district court.
Under title VII, the Attorney General brings suit when a State or
local government, or political subdivision is involved. If the
Commission or the Attorney General does not approve litigation or if a
finding of no reasonable cause is made, at the conclusion of the
administrative procedures (or earlier at the request of the charging
party) a Notice of Right-to-Sue is issued that allows the charging
party to proceed within 90 days in a Federal district court. In
appropriate cases, the Commission may intervene in such civil action
if the case is of general public interest. The investigation and
conciliation of charges having an industrywide or national impact are
coordinated or conducted by Systemic Investigations and Individual
Compliance Programs, Office of Program Operations.
Under the provisions of title VII, section 706(f)(2), as amended by
section 4 of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 (42 U.S.C.
2000e-5), if it is concluded after a preliminary investigation that
prompt judicial action is necessary to carry out the purposes of the
act, the Commission or the Attorney General, in a case involving a
State or local government, governmental agency or political
subdivision, may bring an action for appropriate temporary or
preliminary relief pending final disposition of a charge.
Age Discrimination in Employment or Equal Pay Act Complaints The age
discrimination in employment and equal pay acts cover most employees
and job applicants in private industry and Federal, State, and local
governments.
An age discrimination charge must be filed with the Commission within
180 days of the alleged violation or, in a case where the alleged
discriminatory action took place in a State which has its own age
discrimination law and authority administering that law, within 300
days of the alleged violation or 30 days after the receipt of a notice
of termination of State proceedings, whichever is earlier. A lawsuit
must be filed within 2 years of the discriminatory act or 3 years in
cases of a willful violation of the law. The Commission will attempt
to eliminate the unlawful practice through informal methods of
conciliation, conference, and persuasion. A lawsuit may be brought by
the Commission if conciliation fails, or individuals may file suit on
their own behalf 60 days after filing a charge with the Commission and
the appropriate State agency. Should the Commission take legal action,
an individual covered by such action may not file a private suit. If
an individual files a complaint of age discrimination, his or her name
will be kept confidential, but the individual filing the complaint
cannot bring a private suit unless he or she elects to file a charge
first in accordance with the above requirements. If the Commission
determines there is no reasonable cause to believe the charge or
complaint is true, the charging party has the right to request a
review of the determination.
A lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 may be filed by the
Commission or by the complainants. There are no prerequisites to
individual actions under this law. Back wages can be recovered for a
period of up to 2 years prior to the filing of a suit, except in the
case of willful violation, where 3 years backpay may be recovered. The
name of the individual filing the complaint may be kept confidential
at the administrative level.
Complaints Against the Federal Government The administrative
processing of Federal sector discrimination complaints is governed by
Commission regulations in part 1613 of title 29 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. Federal employees or job applicants who want to file
complaints of job discrimination based on race, color, national
origin, sex, religion, age, or physical or mental handicap must first
consult an equal employment opportunity counselor within their agency
within 30 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory event or the
effective date of the alleged discriminatory personnel action. If the
complaint cannot be resolved informally, the person may file a formal
complaint within 15 calendar days after the date of receipt of the
notice of the right to file a complaint.
An accepted complaint is investigated by the Agency and there is a
right to a hearing before an EEOC administrative judge before the
Agency issues its final decision. An individual who wishes to file a
complaint under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 need not follow these
procedures. Such complaints may be filed directly with the Commission
within 2 years of the alleged violation and can be kept confidential.
An individual may also elect to file suit under the Equal Pay Act of
1963 without prior resort to the agency or to the Commission.
A complaint under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
against a Federal agency or department must be filed with the head of
the agency, director of equal employment opportunity, head of a field
installation, or such other officials as the agency may designate.
Federal-sector age discrimination complainants may bypass the
administrative complaint process and file a civil action directly in a
U.S. district court by first notifying the Commission within 180
calendar days of the alleged discriminatory act and thereafter waiting
30 calendar days before filing suit.
Federal employees may file appeals of final agency decisions or
decisions of an arbitrator or the Federal Labor Relations Authority
with the Commission's Office of Federal Operations at any time up to
20 calendar days after receipt of the agency notice of final decision.
A petition for review of a Merit Systems Protection Board decision may
be filed within 30 days of the date that the Board decision becomes
final. A request for reopening and reconsideration of any decision of
the Commission should be made in writing within 30 days of receipt of
such decision. Office of Federal Operations decisions are issued in
writing to the complainant, complainant's representative, and the
agency. The Office monitors and ensures compliance by Federal agencies
with Commission orders and appellate decisions, and provides technical
assistance and training to other Federal agencies.
The Commission also publishes data on the employment and status of
minorities and women. Using employers' surveys, it tabulates and
stores data on the ethnic, racial, and gender characteristics of
employees. Research information is made available for use by Federal
agencies and the public.
Other Activities A distinct activity of the Commission is the
Voluntary Assistance Program. This outreach program is designed to
provide educational and technical assistance to small and midsize
employers and unions through 1-day seminars on equal employment
opportunity laws about their rights and obligations under all the
statutes that the Commission enforces.
Another activity initiated by the Commission is the Expanded Presence
Program, which is designed to make the Commission accessible in areas
identified as underserved by Commission offices. The district offices
send contact teams to these sites on a rotating basis to provide
information to the public regarding their rights and responsibilities
under the laws enforced by the Commission.
The Commission also provides assistance and guidance to Federal
agencies in processing complaints and in resolving disputes. In
addition to conducting on-site consultations, EEOC co-hosts an annual
Federal Dispute Resolution Conference which provides a forum for
Federal agencies to meet and exchange ideas on resolving disputes.
The Commission participates in the development of the employment
discrimination law through the issuance of guidelines, publication of
significant Commission decisions, and involvement in litigation
brought under title VII and related statutes, and the Equal Pay Act of
1963 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.
The Commission has direct liaison with Federal, State, and local
governments, employers and union organizations, trade associations,
civil rights organizations, and other agencies and organizations
concerned with employment of minority group members and women. The
Commission engages in and contributes to the cost of research and
other mutual interest projects with State and local agencies charged
with the administration of fair employment practices laws.
Furthermore, the Commission enters into contracts and worksharing
agreements with the State and local agencies in order to avoid
duplication of effort by identifying specific charges to be
investigated by the respective agencies.
The Commission is also a major publisher of data on the employment
status of minorities and women. Through six employment surveys (EEO 1
through EEO 6) covering private employers, apprenticeship programs,
labor unions, State and local governments, elementary and secondary
schools, and colleges and universities, the Commission tabulates and
stores data on the ethnic, racial, and sex characteristics of
employees at all job levels within the reported groups.
Research information thus collected is shared with selected Federal
agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the
Department of Labor, and others. It is also made available, in
appropriate form, for public use.

w336,d550 [Insert Export-Import Bank of the United States chart]
The Export-Import Bank of the United States facilitates and aids in
financing exports of U.S. goods and services. The Bank has implemented
a variety of programs to meet the needs of the U.S. exporting
community. These programs take the form of direct lending or the
issuance of guarantees and insurance so that exporters and private
banks can extend appropriate financing without taking undue risks.0
The Export-Import Bank of Washington was authorized in 1934 as a
banking corporation organized under the laws of the District of
Columbia by Executive Order 6581 of February 2, 1934. The Bank was
continued as an agency of the United States by acts of Congress in
1935, 1937, 1939, and 1940. It was made an independent agency of the
U.S. Government by the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945 (12 U.S.C. 635),
subsequently amended in 1947 to reincorporate the Bank under Federal
charter. The name was changed to Export-Import Bank of the United
States (Eximbank) by the act of March 13, 1968 (12 U.S.C. 635 note).
The principal legislation governing the Bank's operations is the
Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended.
The mission of the Bank is to help American exporters meet
government-supported competition from other countries and to correct
market imperfections so that commercial export financing can take
place. In 1987 Congress appropriated $100 million for use as grants in
combination with regular export loans.
The Export-Import Bank will consider aiding in the export financing of
U.S. goods and services when there is a reasonable assurance of
repayment. Eximbank is not to compete with private financing, but
supplement it when adequate funds are not available in the private
sector.
Activities
The Bank is authorized to have outstanding at any one time dollar
loans, guarantees, and insurance in aggregate amount not in excess of
$40 billion. The Bank also is authorized to have a capital stock of $1
billion and to borrow from the United States Treasury up to $6 billion
outstanding at any one time.
Important changes inaugurated in fiscal year 1987 make it easier for
the Bank's programs to support U.S. exports. For example, Eximbank now
has essentially one loan program and one guarantee program for both
medium- and long-term export transactions. Both programs, providing up
to 85-percent financing, operate on the basis of preliminary and final
commitments and are open to any responsible party. Eximbank loans also
carry the minimum interest rate allowed by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development. Other changes, including a
restructuring of fee schedules based on risk, will help make Eximbank
programs more accessible to financial institutions and to exporters.
Eximbank acts to reduce the risks of buyer default for American
exporters under a variety of insurance programs administered by the
Foreign Credit Insurance Association, an association of U.S. insurance
companies organized by Eximbank in 1961. The Association sells and
services export credit insurance policies under agency and reinsurance
agreements with Eximbank. Its policies insure against risks of default
in export transactions and are available in a variety of insurance
plans that are tailored to the special needs of different types of
exporters and financial institutions.
Other Eximbank programs include the Working Capital Guarantee Program,
a loan guarantee program designed to provide eligible exporters with
access to working capital loans from commercial lenders, and the
Engineering Multiplier Program, which provides financing in support of
project-related design services or feasibility studies with potential
for generating further procurement of American exports.

[For the Farm Credit Administration statement of organization, see the
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Parts 600 and 611]
w336,d550 [Insert Farm Credit Administration chart]
The Farm Credit Administration is responsible for ensuring the safe
and sound operation of the banks, associations, affiliated service
organizations, and other entities that collectively comprise what is
known as the Farm Credit System, and for protecting the interests of
the public and those who borrow from Farm Credit institutions or
invest in Farm Credit securities.
The Farm Credit Administration is an independent financial regulatory
agency in the executive branch of the Federal Government. The
Administration carries out its responsibilities by conducting
examinations of the various Farm Credit lending institutions, which
are Farm Credit Banks, Banks for Cooperatives, the National Bank for
Cooperatives, Federal Land Bank Associations, Production Credit
Associations, Agricultural Credit Associations, and Federal Land
Credit Associations. It also examines the service organizations owned
by the Farm Credit lending institutions.
The lending institutions of the Farm Credit System were established to
provide adequate and dependable credit and closely related services to
farmers, ranchers, and producers or harvesters of aquatic products;
persons engaged in providing on-the-farm services; rural homeowners;
and to associations of farmers, ranchers, and producers or harvesters
of aquatic products, or federations of such associations that operate
on a cooperative basis and are engaged in marketing, processing,
supply, or business service functions for the benefit of their
members. Initially capitalized by the United States Government, the
Farm Credit lending institutions are organized as cooperatives and are
completely owned by their borrowers. The loan funds provided to
borrowers by these institutions are obtained primarily through the
sale of securities to investors in the Nation's capital markets.
The Administration administers regulations under which Farm Credit
institutions operate. These regulations implement the Farm Credit Act
of 1971, as amended, and have the force and effect of law. Similar to
other Federal regulators of financial institutions, the
Administration's authorities include the power to issue
cease-and-desist orders, to levy civil monetary penalties, to remove
officers and directors of Farm Credit institutions, and to establish
financial and operating reporting requirements. Although it is
prohibited from participation in routine management or operations of
Farm Credit institutions, the Administration is authorized to become
involved in these institutions' management and operations when the
Farm Credit Act or its regulations have been violated, when taking an
action to correct an unsafe or unsound practice, or when assuming a
formal conservatorship over an institution.
Management of the agency is vested in the Farm Credit Administration

[For the Federal Communications Commission statement of organization,
see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Part 0]
The Federal Communications Commission regulates interstate and foreign
communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. It is
responsible for the orderly development and operation of broadcast
services and the provision of rapid, efficient nationwide and
worldwide telephone and telegraph services at reasonable rates. Its
responsibilities also include the use of communications for promoting
safety of life and property and for strengthening the national
defense.0
The Federal Communications Commission was created by the
Communications Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.; 21 U.S.C.; 47 U.S.C. 35, 151)
to regulate interstate and foreign communications by wire and radio in
the public interest. It was assigned additional regulatory
jurisdiction under the provisions of the Communications Satellite Act
of 1962 (47 U.S.C. 701 744). The scope of its regulation includes
radio and television broadcasting; telephone, telegraph, and cable
television operation; two-way radio and radio operators; and satellite
communication.
The Commission is composed of five members, who are appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate. One of the
members is designated by the President as Chairman.
In administering the programs necessary to carry out its regulatory
responsibility, the Commission is assisted by a General Counsel who,
in addition to regular duties, represents the Commission before the
United States Courts of Appeals; a Managing Director; a Director of
Public Affairs; a Director of Legislative Affairs; a Director of
International Communications, who ensures that the coordination and
integration of the Commission's international policy activities are
uniform and consistent, assumes the principal role for representing
the Commission in international fora, and serves as the general focus
for coordinating and directing international activities; an Inspector
General, who is responsible for coordinating and conducting all audits
and investigations relating to the programs and operations of the
agency; a Chief Engineer; a Chief of Plans and Policy; and the Chiefs
of four bureaus, to whom certain licensing and grant authority has
been delegated.
To assist the Commission in exercising its responsibility in the
adjudicatory process, there is a Review Board to review initial
decisions and write decisions and an Adjudication Division in the
Office of the General Counsel to assist the Commission and individual
Commissioners in the disposition of matters arising in cases of
adjudication (as defined in the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
note prec. 551)) that have been designated for hearings. There also is
a corps of administrative law judges, qualified and appointed pursuant
to the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, who conduct
evidentiary adjudicatory hearings and write initial decisions.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Activities
Mass Media The Mass Media Bureau administers the regulatory program
for the following services: amplitude modulation (AM), frequency
modulation (FM), television, low-power TV, translators, instructional
TV fixed, related broadcast auxiliary services, direct broadcast
satellite, cable TV, microwave radio relay, and registration of new
cable TV systems. The Bureau issues construction permits, operating
licenses, and renewals or transfers of such broadcast licenses; and
processes registrations, notifications, and petitions for cable TV
systems. The Bureau also oversees compliance by broadcasters and cable
TV system operators with statutes and Commission policies, and is
responsible for maintaining relations with State and local authorities
who share responsibility for the regulation of cable TV systems.
For further information, contact the Mass Media Bureau. Phone, 202 632
6460.6
Common Carrier Communications The Common Carrier Bureau administers
the regulatory program for interstate and international common carrier
communications by telephone, telegraph, radio, and satellite. Common
carriers include companies, organizations, or individuals providing
communications services to the public for hire, who must serve all who
wish to use them at established rates. In providing interstate and
foreign communications services, common carriers may employ landline
wire or electrical or optical cable facilities, point-to-point
microwave radio (signals relayed by stations spaced at given
intervals), land mobile radio (two-way telephone or one-way signaling
communications between base and mobile units), cellular systems, or
satellite systems. Communications services between the United States
and overseas points by common carriers are provided by ocean cable,
high frequency radio, and satellite communications.
For further information, contact the Common Carrier Bureau. Phone, 202
632 6910.
Private Radio Communications The Private Radio Bureau regulates the
use of the radio spectrum to fulfill the communications needs of
businesses, State and local governments, aircraft, ships, and
individuals. Over 2.5 million licensees use radio to promote safety of
life and property, to increase productivity, and to advance the
science of telecommunications. The Private Radio Bureau regulates and
licenses two broad groups of radio services: the private land mobile
and microwave radio services, and the special radio services. Private
land mobile and microwave radio services are used by public safety
entities (police, fire, local government), industrial entities
(businesses of all types, including public utilities), and land
transportation entities (buses, railroads, taxicabs). Special radio
services include the aviation service, the marine service, the Alaska
fixed service, and the personal radio services (amateur and general
mobile). While two personal radio services, citizens (CB) and radio
control (R/C), are regulated, licenses are not required. The Bureau
also implements the compulsory provisions of laws and treaties
covering the use of radio for the safety of life and property at sea
and in the air.
For further information, contact the Private Radio Bureau. Phone, 202
632 6940.
Engineering and Technology The Office of Engineering and Technology
administers the Experimental Radio Service and the Equipment
Authorization Program. The Experimental Radio Service permits the
public to experiment with new uses of radio frequencies. This allows
development of radio equipment and exploration of new radio techniques
prior to licensing under other regulatory programs. The Equipment
Authorization Program includes several specific procedures by which
the agency approves radio equipment as a prerequisite to importation,
marketing, or use. The procedures range from Commission testing of an
equipment sample for compliance with applicable standards, through FCC
review of applications and accompanying test reports submitted by the
applicants, to a self-authorization procedure whereby a manufacturer
certifies that the product complies with the standards.
For further information, contact the Office of Engineering and
Technology. Phone, 202 653 8103.
Enforcement Much of the investigative and enforcement work of the
Commission is carried out by its field staff. The Field Operations
Bureau has 6 regional offices and 36 field offices. It also operates a
nationwide fleet of mobile radio direction-finding vehicles for
technical enforcement purposes. The field staff, in effect, are the
Commission's ``eyes and ears'' in detecting radio violations and
enforcing rules and regulations. Continuous surveillance of the radio
spectrum is maintained to detect unlicensed operation and activities
or nonconforming transmissions, and to furnish radio bearings on ships
and planes in distress.
Public Service The Field Operations Bureau (FOB) administers public
service programs aimed at educating Commission licensees, industry,
and the general public to improve compliance with FCC rules and
regulations. FOB also provides liaison with other licensing bureaus to
ensure that the public is aware of current FCC rules and policies.
Other functions of FOB's public service program are to provide
interference resolution and to ensure compliance with obstruction
marking and lighting of radio antenna towers.
Radio Operators The commercial radio operator program is administered
by the Field Operations Bureau. The Private Radio Bureau administers
the amateur operator program.
For further information, contact the Field Operations Bureau. Phone,
202 632 6980.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was established in 1933 to
promote and preserve public confidence in banks and to protect the
money supply through provision of insurance coverage for bank deposits
and periodic examinations of insured State-chartered banks that are
not members of the Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent
agency of the Government. Management is vested in a Board of Directors
consisting of five members, one of whom is the Comptroller of the
Currency, one of whom is the Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision, and three of whom are appointed by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate. Appointive members serve 6-year
terms, and one is elected by the members of the Board as Chairman of
the Board of Directors. The headquarters office is located in
Washington, DC, and there are Division of Liquidation and Division of
Supervision regional offices in the field with directors in charge of
each. Most FDIC field employees are bank examiners or liquidators.
The Corporation does not operate on funds appropriated by Congress.
Its income is derived from assessments on deposits held by insured
banks and from interest on the required investment of its surplus
funds in Government securities. It also has authority to borrow from
the Treasury up to $5 billion for insurance purposes, although it has
never used that authority.
The Corporation was organized under authority of section 12B of the
Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 264), approved June 16, 1933. On
September 21, 1950, section 12B of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended
(12 U.S.C. 1811 1831), was withdrawn as part of the Federal Reserve
Act and made a separate law known as the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act. The act also made numerous amendments to the former deposit
insurance statutes.
The Corporation also administers the Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF), which was established on August 9, 1989, under the
authority of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989. The SAIF replaces the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation as the insurer of deposits in savings and
loan associations.
Activities
The Corporation insures, up to the statutory limitation, the deposits
in national banks, in State banks that are members of the Federal
Reserve System, State banks that apply for Federal Deposit Insurance
and meet certain prescribed qualifications, and savings and loans
which are members of the SAIF. In the event of a bank failure, the
claim of each depositor (up to $100,000) is promptly paid upon
assignment to the Corporation of the depositor's rights to recoveries
to the extent of his or her insured deposits.
The Corporation may make loans to or purchase assets from insured
depository institutions in order to facilitate mergers or
consolidations, when such action for the protection of depositors will
reduce risks or avert threatened loss to the agency. It will make
possible the reopening of a closed insured depository institution or
prevent the closing of an insured depository institution when it
considers the continued operation of such institution essential to
providing adequate banking services in the community.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act authorizes the Corporation to
terminate the insured status of a depository institution that
continues, after notice and hearing, to engage in unsafe and unsound
banking practices or in violation of law or regulations; publish
notice of such termination; and regulate the manner in which the
depository institution shall give the required notice of such
termination to depositors (whose deposits in the bank at the time of
termination continue to be insured for 2 years).
The Corporation acts as receiver for all national banks placed in
receivership and for State banks placed in receivership when it is
appointed by State authorities.
To inform the public that the deposits of certain depository
institutions are insured, the Corporation prescribes rules and
regulations relating to the use of its name and symbol in
advertising.
Other functions and activities performed in relation to insured State
banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System, except banks
in the District of Columbia, are to:
examine such banks periodically to determine their condition for
insurance purposes;
approve or disapprove mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, and
assumption transactions between insured banks where the resulting
banks are to be insured nonmember State banks;
approve or disapprove a proposal by a bank to establish and operate a
new branch or move its main office or any branch from one location to
another;
issue cease-and-desist orders to a bank or to a banker with respect
to specific violations or practices or, in situations involving
personal dishonesty, suspend or remove bank personnel responsible for
such actions, when corrective action is not obtainable by the State
supervisory authority;
require reports of changes in the ownership of outstanding voting
stock of a bank that will result in a change in control of the bank,
and reports of any loan secured by 25 percent or more of the stock;
require reports of condition, income, and other data of banks;
require banks to install, maintain, and operate a level of security
designed to discourage robbery, burglary, and larceny and to assist in
the identification and apprehension of persons who commit such acts;
and
require compliance of banks with the Federal Reserve Regulations
pertaining to truth in lending, cost disclosure on consumer credit,
and related areas.

and effect voluntary compliance by providing the public with
information on the laws and regulations concerning campaign finance.
The Federal Election Commission is an independent agency established
by section 309 of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as
amended (2 U.S.C. 437c). It is composed of six Commissioners appointed
by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate and two ex
officio, nonvoting members the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk
of the House of Representatives. The act also provides for two
statutory officers the Staff Director and the General Counsel who are

Activities
The Commission administers and enforces the Federal Election Campaign
Act of 1971, as amended (2 U.S.C. 431 et seq.), and the Revenue Act
(26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.). These laws provide for the public funding of
Presidential elections, public disclosure of the financial activities
of political committees involved in Federal elections, and limitations
and prohibitions on contributions and expenditures made to influence
Federal elections (Presidency, Senate, and House).
Public Funding of Presidential Elections The Commission oversees the
public financing of Presidential elections by certifying Federal
payments to primary candidates, general election nominees, and
national nominating conventions. It also audits recipients of Federal
funds and may require repayments to the U.S. Treasury if a committee
makes nonqualified campaign expenditures.
Disclosure The Commission ensures the public disclosure of the
campaign finance activities reported by political committees
supporting Federal candidates. Committee reports, filed regularly,
disclose where campaign money comes from and how it is spent. The
Commission places reports on the public record within 48 hours after
they are received and computerizes the data contained in the reports.
Contribution Limits and Prohibitions The Commission administers and
enforces the law with respect to limits and prohibitions on
contributions and expenditures made to influence Federal elections.
Voluntary Compliance The Commission seeks voluntary compliance with
the above provisions of the law by providing information through a
toll-free telephone line, publications, seminars, regulations (which
clarify the law), and advisory opinions (which interpret the law in
specific factual situations).
Enforcement The Commission has exclusive jurisdiction with respect to
the civil enforcement of the campaign finance laws. Possible
violations of the law are brought to the Commission's attention either
internally (through report review procedures and audits) or externally
(through complaints filed by the public or referrals from other
government agencies). The Commission seeks to resolve compliance
matters through conciliation and may bring suit when conciliation
fails. It also defends the law in court.

w336,d550 [Insert Federal Housing Finance Board chart]
The Federal Housing Finance Board is responsible for the
administration and enforcement of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, as
amended.
50The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) was established on
August 9, 1989, by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, as amended by the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA) (12 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.), as an independent regulatory agency
in the executive branch. The Finance Board succeeded the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board for those functions transferred to it by FIRREA.
The Finance Board is governed by a five-member Board of Directors.
Four members are appointed by the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate for 7-year terms; one of whom is designated as
Chairman. The Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development is the fifth member and serves in an ex officio capacity.
The Finance Board supervises the Federal Home Loan Banks created by
the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and issues regulations and orders for
carrying out the purposes of the provisions of that act. Savings
associations and other institutions specified in section 4 of the act
that make long-term home-mortgage loans are eligible to become members
of a Federal Home Loan Bank. The Finance Board supervises the Federal
Home Loan Banks and ensures that they carry out their housing finance
mission, remain adequately capitalized and able to raise funds in the
capital markets, and operate in a safe and sound manner. The functions
of the Finance Board with respect to the Banks and their members
include: implementing community-oriented mortgage lending and
affordable housing advance programs; prescribing rules and conditions
upon which a Bank shall be authorized to borrow; issuing consolidated
Federal Home Loan Bank bonds, notes, or debentures which are the joint
and several obligations of all Federal Home Loan Banks; requiring an
annual financial audit of each Bank; appointing six directors to the
board of directors of each Bank and conducting the election of the
remaining directors by the members; approving dividends paid to each
Bank; and acting on applications for Bank membership.
The Finance Board is not subject to the appropriation process. Its
funds are neither appropriated nor derived from Government funds, and
are not subject to apportionment. The expenses of the Finance Board
are paid by assessment against the regional Federal Home Loan Banks,
which are deposited in a special account in the Treasury.
Financing Corporation
The Financing Corporation (FICO) was created by the Federal Home Loan
Bank Act as amended by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987
(12 U.S.C. 1441), as a mixed-ownership Government corporation. FICO
has a three-member directorate, consisting of the director of the
Office of Finance and two Federal Home Loan Bank presidents.
FICO operates under the authority of the Federal Housing Finance
Board. It issues debt securities in the capital markets and purchases
capital certificates of the Federal Savings and Loan Corporation
Resolution Fund.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
In 1932, the Federal Home Loan Bank Act created and authorized the
Federal Home Loan Bank System to provide a flexible credit reserve for
member savings institutions engaged in home mortgage lending.
Regional Banks The System includes 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks
that are mixed-ownership Government corporations. A board of
directors, six of whom are appointed by the Finance Baord, manages the
Banks. The Finance Board conducts the election of the remaining
directors.
Capital and Funds Member institutions, each of which is required to
purchase stock, own the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks.
The Banks obtain other lendable funds through the issuance of
consolidated obligations in the money and capital markets, through
time and demand deposits accepted from member institutions and from
other Federal Home Loan Banks.
5Operations The Federal Home Loan Banks fulfill the responsibility of
Congress and the Finance Board by providing appropriate loans,
referred to as advances, to their members as a supplement to savings
flows in meeting recurring variations in the supply of, and demand
for, residential mortgage credit. Such loans, within the context of
national housing goals, aid in stabilizing those sectors of the
housing and mortgage markets served by the savings industry. The Banks
also provide various services to member institutions pursuant to the
statutory authority contained in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act.
The Office of Finance, located in Washington, DC, authorizes the Banks
to perform their debt marketing operations, liquidity portfolio
management, and financial forecasting. The Office also coordinates
financial planning for the Bank System.
Eligible Institutions The types of institutions eligible to become
members of the Federal Home Loan Banks are savings, building and loan,
and homestead associations; savings and cooperative banks; insurance
companies; and other insured depository institutions that satisfy the
statutory requirements.
Power to Borrow Consolidated Federal Home Loan Bank obligations, which
are the joint and several liabilities of all the Banks, are issued by
the Finance Board in the form of notes or bonds. Although the Banks
are instrumentalities of the United States, such securities are not
obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, the United States.

should be sent to the Office of Administration, Federal Housing
Finance Board, 1777 F Street NW., Washington, DC 20006. Freedom of

The Federal Labor Relations Authority oversees the Federal service
labor-management relations program. It administers the law that
protects the right of employees of the Federal Government to organize,
bargain collectively, and participate through labor organizations of
their own choosing in decisions affecting them. The Authority also
ensures compliance with the statutory rights and obligations of
Federal employees and the labor organizations that represent them in
their dealings with Federal agencies.
The Federal Labor Relations Authority was created as an independent
establishment by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1978 (5 U.S.C. app.),
effective January 1, 1979, pursuant to Executive Order 12107 of
December 28, 1978, to consolidate the central policymaking functions
in Federal labor-management relations. Its duties and authority are
specified in title VII (Federal Service Labor-Management Relations) of
the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. 7101 7135).
Activities
The Authority provides leadership in establishing policies and
guidance relating to the Federal service labor-management relations
program. In addition, it determines the appropriateness of bargaining
units, supervises or conducts representation elections, and prescribes
criteria and resolves issues relating to the granting of consultation
rights to labor organizations with respect to internal agency policies
and governmentwide rules and regulations. It also resolves
negotiability disputes, unfair labor practice complaints, and
exceptions to arbitration awards. The Chairman of the Authority serves
as the chief executive and administrative officer.
The General Counsel of the Authority investigates alleged unfair labor
practices, files and prosecutes unfair labor practice complaints
before the Authority, and exercises such other powers as the Authority
may prescribe.
The Federal Service Impasses Panel, an entity within the Authority, is
assigned the function of providing assistance in resolving negotiation
impasses between agencies and unions. After investigating an impasse,
the Panel can either recommend procedures to the parties for the
resolution of the impasse or assist the parties in resolving the
impasse through whatever methods and procedures, including factfinding
and recommendations, it considers appropriate. If the parties do not
arrive at a settlement after assistance by the Panel, the Panel may
hold hearings and take whatever action is necessary to resolve the
impasse.
The Foreign Service Labor Relations Board and the Foreign Service
Impasse Disputes Panel administer provisions of chapter 2 of the
Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3921), concerning
labor-management relations. This chapter establishes a statutory
labor-management relations program for Foreign Service employees of
the United States Government. Administrative and staff support is
provided by the Federal Labor Relations Authority and the Federal
Service Impasses Panel.

The Federal Maritime Commission regulates the waterborne foreign and
domestic offshore commerce of the United States, assures that United
States international trade is open to all nations on fair and
equitable terms, and protects against unauthorized, concerted activity
in the waterborne commerce of the United States. This is accomplished
through maintaining surveillance over steamship conferences and common
carriers by water; assuring that only the rates on file with the
Commission are charged; reviewing agreements between persons subject
to the Shipping Act of 1984 and the Shipping Act, 1916; guaranteeing
equal treatment to shippers, carriers, and other persons subject to
the shipping statutes; and ensuring that adequate levels of financial
responsibility are maintained for indemnification of passengers.
The Federal Maritime Commission was established by Reorganization Plan
No. 7 of 1961 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective August 12, 1961. It is an
independent agency that regulates shipping under the following
statutes: the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. app. 1701 1720); the
Shipping Act, 1916 (46 U.S.C. app. 801 et seq.); the Merchant Marine
Act, 1920 (46 U.S.C. app. 861 et seq.); the Intercoastal Shipping Act,
1933 (46 U.S.C. app. 843 et seq.); the Merchant Marine Act, 1936 (46
U.S.C. app. 1101 et seq.); and certain provisions of the act of
November 6, 1966 (46 U.S.C. app. 817(d) and 817(e)).
Activities
Agreements The Commission reviews for legal sufficiency agreements
filed under section 15 of the Shipping Act, 1916 (46 U.S.C. app. 814),
or section 5 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. app. 1704),
including conference, interconference, and cooperative working
agreements between common carriers, terminal operators, and other
persons subject to the shipping statutes. The Commission also monitors
activities under all effective (1984 act) or approved (1916 act)
agreements for compliance with the provisions of law and its rules,
orders, and regulations.
Tariffs The Commission accepts or rejects tariff filings, including
filings dealing with service contracts, of common carriers engaged in
the foreign and domestic offshore commerce of the United States, or
conferences of such carriers. The Commission regulates rates of
carriers in the domestic offshore trades. Special permission
applications may be submitted for relief from statutory and/or
Commission tariff requirements. The Commission monitors the activities
of controlled carriers under section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (46
U.S.C. app. 1708, 1709, 1714).
Licenses The Commission issues licenses to persons, partnerships,
corporations, or associations desiring to engage in ocean freight
forwarding activities.
Passenger Indemnity The Commission administers the passenger indemnity
provisions of the act of November 6, 1966, which requires shipowners
and operators to obtain certificates of financial responsibility to
pay judgments for personal injury or death or to refund fares in the
event of nonperformance of voyages.
Informal Complaints The Commission reviews alleged or suspected
violations of the shipping statutes and rules and regulations of the
Commission and may take administrative action to institute formal
proceedings, to refer matters to the Department of Justice, or to
bring about voluntary agreement between the parties.
Formal Adjudicatory Procedure The Commission conducts formal
investigations and hearings on its own motion and adjudicates formal
complaints pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. note
prec. 551).
Rulemaking The Commission promulgates rules and regulations to
interpret, enforce, and ensure compliance with shipping and other
statutes of common carriers by water and other persons subject to the
statutes.
Investigation, Audit, and Financial and Economic Analyses The
Commission prescribes and administers programs to ensure compliance
with the provisions of the shipping statutes. These programs include
the submission of information; field investigations and audits of

FEDERAL MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION SERVICE

Director
Bernard E. DeLury
Deputy Director
Brian L. Flores
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service represents the public
interest by promoting the development of sound and stable
labor-management relationships; preventing or minimizing work
stoppages by assisting labor and management to settle their disputes
through mediation; advocating collective bargaining, mediation, and
voluntary arbitration as the preferred processes for settling issues
between employers and representatives of employees; developing the
art, science, and practice of dispute resolution; and fostering
constructive joint relationships of labor and management leaders to
increase their mutual understanding and solution of common problems.
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service was created by the
Labor Management Relations Act, 1947 (29 U.S.C. 172). The Director is
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Activities
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service helps prevent
disruptions in the flow of interstate commerce caused by
labor-management disputes by providing mediators to assist disputing
parties in the resolution of their differences. Mediators have no law
enforcement authority and rely wholly on persuasive techniques.
The Service offers its facilities in labor-management disputes in any
industry affecting interstate commerce, either upon its own motion or
at the request of one or more of the parties to the dispute, whenever
in its judgment such dispute threatens to cause a substantial
interruption of commerce. The Labor Management Relations Act requires
that parties to a labor contract must file a dispute notice if
agreement is not reached 30 days in advance of a contract termination
or reopening date. The notice must be filed with the Service and the
appropriate State or local mediation agency. The Service is required
to avoid the mediation of disputes that would have only a minor effect
on interstate commerce if State or other conciliation services are
available to the parties.
For further information, contact one of the district offices listed
below.
Mediation The mediator's efforts are directed toward the establishment
of sound and stable labor-management relations on a continuing basis.
In this work the mediator has a more basic function: encouraging and
promoting better day-to-day relations between labor and management,
thereby helping to reduce the incidence of work stoppages. Issues
arising in negotiations may then be faced as problems to be settled
through mutual effort rather than issues in dispute.
For further information, contact the Office of Public and
International Affairs. Phone, 202 653 5290.
Arbitration The Service, on the joint request of employers and unions,
will also assist in the selection of arbitrators from a roster of
private citizens who are qualified as neutrals to adjudicate matters
in dispute.
For further information, contact the Office of Arbitration Services.

The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is an
independent, quasi-judicial agency established by the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 801 et seq.). That act,
enforced by the Secretary of Labor through the Mine Safety and Health
Administration, governs compliance with occupational safety and health
standards in the Nation's surface and underground mines, both coal and
metal/nonmetal.
The Commission consists of five members who are appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate and who serve
staggered, 6-year terms. The Chairman, who is selected from among the
Commissioners, serves at the pleasure of the President.
The Commission and its Office of Administrative Law Judges are charged
with deciding cases brought pursuant to the act by the Mine Safety and
Health Administration, mine operators, and miners or their
representatives. These cases generally involve review of the
Administration's enforcement actions including citations, mine closure
orders, and proposals for civil penalties issued for violations of the
act or the mandatory safety and health standards promulgated by the
Secretary. The Commission also has jurisdiction over discrimination
complaints filed by miners or their representatives in connection with
their safety and health rights under the act, and over complaints for
compensation filed on behalf of miners who have been idled through the
enforcement of mine closure orders issued by the Administration.
Activities
Cases brought before the Commission are assigned to the Office of
Administrative Law Judges, and hearings are conducted pursuant to the
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 554, 556)
and the Commission's procedural rules (29 CFR Part 2700).
A judge's decision becomes a final but nonprecedential order of the
Commission 40 days after issuance unless the Commission has directed
the case for review in response to a petition or on its own motion. If
a review is conducted, a decision of the Commission becomes final 30
days after issuance unless a party adversely affected seeks review in
the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia or the
Circuit within which the mine subject to the litigation is located.
As far as practicable, hearings are held at locations convenient to
the affected mines. The Office of Administrative Law Judges operates
from two locations: the Falls Church Office, 2 Skyline, 5203 Leesburg
Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041; and the Denver Office, Colonnade Center,
Room 280, 1244 Speer Boulevard, Denver, CO 80204.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
The Federal Reserve System, the central bank of the United States, is
charged with administering and making policy for the Nation's credit
and monetary affairs. Through its supervisory and regulatory banking
functions, the Federal Reserve helps to maintain the banking industry
in sound condition, capable of responding to the Nation's domestic and
international financial needs and objectives.
The Federal Reserve System was established by the Federal Reserve Act
(12 U.S.C. 221), approved December 23, 1913. The System serves as the
Nation's central bank. The powers of central banks vary widely, but
their major responsibility is in the execution of monetary policy.
Central banks typically perform a number of other functions, such as
the transfer of funds, handling Government deposits and debt issues,
supervising and regulating banks, and acting as lender of last
resort.
It is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve System to contribute
to the strength and vitality of the U.S. economy. By influencing the
lending and investing activities of depository institutions and the
cost and availability of money and credit, the Federal Reserve System
can help promote the full use of human and capital resources, the
growth of productivity, relatively stable prices, and equilibrium in
the Nation's international balance of payments. Through its
supervisory and regulatory banking functions, the Federal Reserve
System helps maintain a commercial banking system that is responsive
to the Nation's financial needs and objectives.
The System consists of six parts: the Board of Governors in
Washington, DC; the 12 Federal Reserve Banks and their 25 branches
and other facilities situated throughout the country; the Federal
Open Market Committee; the Federal Advisory Council; the Consumer
Advisory Council; the Thrift Institutions Advisory Council; and the
Nation's financial institutions, including commercial banks, savings
and loan associations, mutual savings banks, and credit unions.
Board of Governors
Broad supervisory powers are vested in the Board of Governors, which
has its offices in Washington. The Board is composed of seven members
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The Chairman of the Board of Governors is, by Executive Order 11269 of
February 14, 1966, a member of the National Advisory Council on
International Monetary and Financial Policies.
The Board determines general monetary, credit, and operating policies
for the System as a whole and formulates the rules and regulations
necessary to carry out the purposes of the Federal Reserve Act. The
Board's principal duties consist of monitoring credit conditions;
supervising the Federal Reserve Banks, member banks, and bank holding
companies; and regulating the implementation of certain consumer
credit protection laws.
Power To Influence Credit Conditions Pursuant to the Depository
Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980, referred
to as the Monetary Control Act of 1980 (12 U.S.C. 226 note), the Board
is given the power, within statutory limitations, to fix the
requirements concerning reserves to be maintained by depository
institutions on transaction accounts or nonpersonal time deposits.
Another important instrument of credit control is found in open market
operations. The members of the Board of Governors also are members of
the Federal Open Market Committee, whose work and organization are
described below. The Board of Governors reviews and determines the
discount rate charged by the Federal Reserve Banks. For the purpose of
preventing excessive use of credit for the purchase or carrying of
securities, the Board is authorized to regulate the amount of credit
that may be initially extended and subsequently maintained on any
security (with certain exceptions).
Supervision of Federal Reserve Banks The Board is authorized to make
examinations of the Federal Reserve Banks, to require statements and
reports from such Banks, to supervise the issue and retirement of
Federal Reserve notes, to require the establishment or discontinuance
of branches of Reserve Banks, and to exercise supervision over all
relationships and transactions of those Banks with foreign branches.
The Board of Governors reviews and follows the examination and
supervisory activities of the Federal Reserve Banks aimed at further
coordination of policies and practices.
Supervision of Bank Holding Companies The Bank Holding Company Act of
1956 gave to the Federal Reserve the primary responsibility for
supervising and regulating the activities of bank holding companies.
This act was designed to achieve two basic objectives: to control the
expansion of bank holding companies by avoiding the creation of
monopoly or restraining trade in banking; and to limit the expansion
of bank holding companies to those nonbanking activities that are
closely related to banking, thus maintaining a separation between
banking and commerce. A company that seeks to become a bank holding
company must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. Any
company that qualifies as a bank holding company must register with
the Federal Reserve System and file reports with the System. To
preserve the traditional separation of banking and commerce, the
Congress amended the Bank Holding Act in December 1970. Primarily as a
result of this new legislation, the number of bank holding companies
increased. The number has continued to increase steadily and totaled
6,474 at the end of 1988, when 91 percent of all deposits of domestic
banking organizations were held by bank subsidiaries of holding
companies. The number of applications received in 1988 totaled 1,337.
Supervision of Member Banks The Board has jurisdiction over the
admission of State banks and trust companies to membership in the
Federal Reserve System, the termination of membership of such banks,
the establishment of branches by such banks, and the approval of bank
mergers and consolidations where the resulting institution will be a
State member bank. It receives copies of condition reports submitted
by them to the Federal Reserve Banks. It has power to examine all
member banks and the affiliates of member banks and to require
condition reports from them. It has authority to require periodic and
other public disclosure of information with respect to an equity
security of a State member bank that is held by 500 or more persons.
It establishes minimum standards with respect to installation,
maintenance, and operation of security devices and procedures by State
member banks. It has authority to issue cease-and-desist orders in
connection with violations of law or unsafe or unsound banking
practices by State member banks and to remove directors or officers of
such banks in certain circumstances, and it may, in its discretion,
suspend member banks from the use of the credit facilities of the
Federal Reserve System for making undue use of bank credit for
speculative purposes or for any other purpose inconsistent with the
maintenance of sound credit conditions.
The Board may grant authority to member banks to establish branches in
foreign countries or dependencies or insular possessions of the United
States, to invest in the stocks of banks or corporations engaged in
international or foreign banking, or to invest in foreign banks. It
also charters, regulates, and supervises certain corporations that
engage in foreign or international banking and financial activities.
The Board is authorized to issue general regulations permitting
interlocking relationships in certain circumstances between member
banks and organizations dealing in securities or between member banks
and other banks.
Other Activities Under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 (12
U.S.C. 1817(j)), the Board is required to review other bank stock
acquisitions.
Under the Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1601), the Board is required
to prescribe regulations to ensure a meaningful disclosure by lenders
of credit terms so that consumers will be able to compare more readily
the various credit terms available and will be informed about rules
governing credit cards, including their potential liability for
unauthorized use.
Under the International Banking Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3101), the
Board has authority to impose reserve requirements and interest rate
ceilings on branches and agencies of foreign banks in the United
States, to grant loans to them, to provide them access to Federal
Reserve services, and to limit their interstate banking activities.
The Board also is the rulemaking authority for the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Credit
Billing Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, and certain
provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act as they apply to
banks.
Expenses To meet its expenses and pay the salaries of its members and
its employees, the Board makes semiannual assessments upon the Reserve
Banks in proportion to their capital stock and surplus.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Federal Open Market Committee
The Federal Open Market Committee is comprised of the Board of
Governors and five of the presidents of the Reserve Banks. The
Chairman of the Board of Governors is traditionally the Chairman of
the Committee. The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
serves as a permanent member of the Committee. Four of the twelve
Reserve Bank presidents rotate annually as members of the Committee.
Open market operations of the Reserve Banks are conducted under
regulations adopted by the Committee and pursuant to specific policy
directives issued by the Committee, which meets in Washington at
frequent intervals. Purchases and sales of securities in the open
market are undertaken to supply bank reserves to support the credit
and money needed for long-term economic growth, to offset cyclical
economic swings, and to accommodate seasonal demands of businesses and
consumers for money and credit. These operations are carried out
principally in U.S. Government obligations, but they also include
purchases and sales of Federal agency obligations and bankers'
acceptances. All operations are conducted in New York, where the
primary markets for these securities are located; the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York executes transactions for the Federal Reserve System
Open Market Account in carrying out these operations.
Under the Committee's direction, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
also undertakes transactions in foreign currencies for the Federal
Reserve System Open Market Account. The purposes of these operations
include helping to safeguard the value of the dollar in international
exchange markets and facilitating growth in international liquidity in
accordance with the needs of an expanding world economy. The Federal
Reserve has, in particular, entered into a network of mutual currency
arrangements with other central banks providing for the right to draw
foreign exchange within specified limits and for specified periods.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Federal Reserve Banks
The 12 Federal Reserve Banks are located in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago,
Cleveland, Dallas, Kansas City, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia,
Richmond, San Francisco, and St. Louis. Branch banks are located in
Baltimore, Birmingham, Buffalo, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Denver,
Detroit, El Paso, Helena, Houston, Jacksonville, Little Rock, Los
Angeles, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Nashville, New Orleans, Oklahoma
City, Omaha, Pittsburgh, San Antonio, Portland, Salt Lake City, and
Seattle.
Directors and Officers of Reserve Banks The Board of Directors of each
Reserve Bank is composed of nine members, equally divided into three
designated classes: class A, class B, and class C. Directors of class
A are representative of the stockholding member banks. Directors of
class B must be actively engaged in their districts in commerce,
agriculture, or some other industrial pursuit, and may not be
officers, directors, or employees of any bank. Class C directors may
not be officers, directors, employees, or stockholders of any bank.
The six class A and class B directors are elected by the stockholding
member banks, while the three class C directors are appointed by the
Board of Governors. The terms of office of the directors are so
arranged that the term of one director of each class expires each
year.
One of the class C directors appointed by the Board of Governors is
designated as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Reserve Bank
and as Federal Reserve agent, and in the latter capacity he is
required to maintain a local office of the Board of Governors on the
premises of the Reserve Bank. Another class C director is appointed by
the Board of Governors as deputy chairman.
Each Reserve Bank has as its chief executive officer a president
appointed for a term of 5 years by its Board of Directors with the
approval of the Board of Governors. There are also a first vice
president, appointed in the same manner, and other officers appointed
by the Board of Directors.
Reserves on Deposit In accordance with provisions of the Monetary
Control Act of 1980 (12 U.S.C. 226 note), the Reserve Banks receive
and hold on deposit the reserve or clearing account deposits of
depository institutions. These banks are permitted to count their
vault cash as part of their required reserve.
Extensions of Credit The Monetary Control Act of 1980 (12 U.S.C. 226
note) directs the Federal Reserve to open its discount window to any
depository institution that is subject to Federal Reserve reserve
requirements on transaction accounts or nonpersonal time deposits.
Discount window credit provides for Federal Reserve lending to
eligible depository institutions under two basic programs. One is the
adjustment credit program; the other supplies more extended credit for
certain limited purposes.
Short-term adjustment credit is the primary type of Federal Reserve
credit. It is available to help borrowers meet temporary requirements
for funds. Borrowers are not permitted to use adjustment credit to
take advantage of any spread between the discount rate and market
rates.
Extended credit is provided through three programs designed to assist
depository institutions in meeting longer term needs for funds. One
provides seasonal credit for periods running up to 9 months to smaller
depository institutions that lack access to market funds. A second
program assists institutions that experience special difficulties
arising from exceptional circumstances or practices involving only
that institution. Finally, in cases where more general liquidity
strains are affecting a broad range of depository institutions such as
those whose portfolios consist primarily of longer term assets credit
may be provided to address the problems of particular institutions
being affected by the general situation.
Currency Issue The Reserve Banks issue Federal Reserve notes, which
constitute the bulk of money in circulation. These notes are
obligations of the United States and are a prior lien upon the assets
of the issuing Federal Reserve Bank. They are issued against a pledge
by the Reserve Bank with the Federal Reserve agent of collateral
security including gold certificates, paper discounted or purchased by
the Bank, and direct obligations of the United States.
Other Powers The Reserve Banks are empowered to act as clearinghouses
and as collecting agents for depository institutions in the collection
of checks and other instruments. They are also authorized to act as
depositories and fiscal agents of the United States and to exercise
other banking functions specified in the Federal Reserve Act. They
perform a number of important functions in connection with the issue
and redemption of United States Government securities.
Federal Advisory Council
The Federal Advisory Council acts in an advisory capacity, conferring
with the Board of Governors on general business conditions.
The Council is composed of 12 members, one from each Federal Reserve
district, being selected annually by the Board of Directors of the
Reserve Bank of the district. The Council is required to meet in
Washington at least four times each year, and more often if called by
the Board of Governors.
Consumer Advisory Council
The Consumer Advisory Council confers with the Board of Governors
several times each year on the Board's responsibilities in the field
of consumer credit protection. The Council was established by Congress
in 1976 at the suggestion of the Board and replaced the Advisory
Committee on Truth in Lending that was established by the 1968 Truth
in Lending Act.
The Council is composed of 30 members from all parts of the country.
Its membership includes a broad representation of consumer and
creditor interests. It advises the Board on its responsibilities under
such laws as Truth in Lending, Equal Credit Opportunity, and Home
Mortgage Disclosure.
Thrift Institutions Advisory Council
The Thrift Institutions Advisory Council is an advisory group
established by the Board in 1980 made up of representatives from
nonbank depository thrift institutions, which includes savings and
loans, mutual savings bankers, and credit unions. The Council meets at
least four times each year with the Board of Governors to discuss
developments relating to thrift institutions, the housing industry and
mortgage finance, and certain regulatory issues.

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board administers the Thrift
Savings Plan, which provides Federal employees the opportunity to save
for additional retirement security.
The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board was established as an
independent agency by the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act of
1986 (5 U.S.C. 8472). The act vests responsibility for the agency in
six named fiduciaries: the five Board members and the Executive
Director. The five members of the Board, one of whom is designated as
Chairman, are appointed by the President with the advice and consent
of the Senate and serve on the Board on a part-time basis. The members
appoint the Executive Director, who is responsible for the management
of the agency and the Plan.
Activities
The Thrift Savings Plan is a tax-deferred, defined contribution plan
that was established as one of the three parts of the Federal
Employees' Retirement System. For employees covered under the System,
savings accumulated through the Plan make an important addition to the
retirement benefits provided by Social Security and the System's Basic
Annuity. Civil Service Retirement System employees can also take
advantage of the Plan to supplement their annuities.
The Board operates the Thrift Savings Plan and manages the investments
of the Thrift Savings Fund solely for the benefit of participants and
their beneficiaries. As part of these responsibilities, the Board
maintains an account for each Plan participant, makes loans, purchases
annuity contracts, and provides for the payment of benefits.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
The objective of the Federal Trade Commission is to maintain
competitive enterprise as the keystone of the American economic
system. Although the duties of the Commission are many and varied, the
foundation of public policy underlying all these duties is essentially
the same: to prevent the free enterprise system from being fettered by
monopoly or restraints on trade or corrupted by unfair or deceptive
trade practices. In brief, the Commission is charged with keeping
competition both free and fair.
The purpose of the Federal Trade Commission is expressed in the Feder
al Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 51) and the Clayton Act (15
U.S.C. 12), both passed in 1914 and both successively amended in the
years that have followed. The Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits
the use in commerce of ``unfair methods of competition'' and ``unfair
or deceptive acts or practices.'' The Clayton Act outlaws specific
practices recognized as instruments of monopoly. As an administrative
agency, acting quasi-judicially and quasi-legislatively, the
Commission was established to deal with trade practices on a
continuing and corrective basis. It has no authority to punish; its
function is to ``prevent,'' through cease-and-desist orders and other
means, those practices condemned by the law of Federal trade
regulation; however, court-ordered civil penalties up to $10,000 may
be obtained for each violation of a Commission order or trade
regulation rule.
The Federal Trade Commission was organized as an independent
administrative agency in 1914 pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission
Act. Related duties subsequently were delegated to the Commission by
the Wheeler-Lea Act, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act, the
Clayton Act, the Export Trade Act, the Wool Products Labeling Act, the
Fur Products Labeling Act, the Textile Fiber Products Identification
Act, the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, the Lanham Trade-Mark Act of
1946, the Consumer Credit Protection Acts, the Robinson-Patman Act,
the Hobby Protection Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty-Federal Trade
Commission Improvement Act, the Federal Trade Commission Improvements
Act of 1980, and the Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986.
The Commission is composed of five members. Each member is appointed
by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,
for a term of 7 years. Not more than three of the Commissioners may be
members of the same political party. One Commissioner is designated by
the President as Chairman of the Commission and is responsible for its
administrative management.
Activities
The Commission's principal functions are to:
promote competition in or affecting commerce through the prevention
of general trade restraints such as price-fixing agreements, boycotts,
illegal combinations of competitors, and other unfair methods of
competition;
safeguard the public by preventing the dissemination of false or
deceptive advertisements of consumer products generally, and food,
drug, cosmetics, and therapeutic devices, particularly, as well as
other unfair or deceptive practices;
prevent pricing discrimination; exclusive-dealing and tying arrangem
ents; corporate mergers, acquisitions, or joint ventures, when such
practices or arrangements may substantially lessen competition or tend
to create a monopoly; interlocking directorates that may restrain
competition; the payment or receipt of illegal brokerage; and
discrimination among competing customers in the furnishing of or the
payment for services or facilities used to promote the resale of a
product;
bring about truthful labeling of textile, wool, and fur products;
regulate packaging and labeling of certain consumer commodities
within the purview of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act so as to
prevent consumer deception and to facilitate value comparisons;
supervise the registration and operation of associations of American
exporters engaged in export trade;
achieve accurate credit cost disclosure by consumer creditors
(retailers, finance companies, non-Federal credit unions, and other
creditors not specifically regulated by another Government agency) as
called for in the Truth in Lending Act to ensure a meaningful basis
for informed credit decisions, and to regulate the issuance of and
liability for the use of credit cards so as to prohibit their
fraudulent use in or affecting commerce;
protect consumers against circulation of inaccurate or obsolete
credit reports and ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise
their responsibilities in a manner that is fair and equitable and in
conformity with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Credit Billing
Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act; and
gather and make available to the Congress, the President, and the
public, factual data concerning economic and business conditions.
Enforcement The Commission's law enforcement work falls into two
general categories: actions to foster voluntary compliance with the
law, and formal administrative litigation leading to mandatory orders
against offenders.
For the most part, compliance with the law is obtained through
voluntary and cooperative action by way of staff level advice, which
is not binding on the Commission, advisory opinions by the Commission,
and through issuance of guides delineating legal requirements as to
particular business practices.
The formal litigation is similar to that in Federal courts. Cases are
instituted by issuance of a complaint charging the respondent a
person, partnership, or corporation with violation of one or more of
the statutes administered by the Commission. Cases may be settled by
consent orders. If the charges are not contested, or if the charges
are found to be true after a hearing in a contested case, a
cease-and-desist order is issued requiring discontinuance of the
unlawful practices.
Legal Case Work Cases before the Commission may originate through
complaint by a consumer or a competitor; the Congress; or from
Federal, State, or municipal agencies. Also, the Commission itself may
initiate an investigation into possible violation of the laws it
administers. No formality is permitted in submitting a complaint. A
letter giving the facts in detail, accompanied by all supporting
evidence in possession of the complaining party, is sufficient. It is
the general policy of the Commission not to disclose the identity of
any complainant, except as required by law or Commission rules.
Upon receipt of a complaint, various criteria are applied in
determining whether the particular matter should be investigated.
Within the limits of its resources, investigations are initiated that
are considered to best support the Commission's goals of maintaining
competition and protecting consumers.
On completion of an investigation, there will be a staff
recommendation for final Commission action. The staff may recommend
that the matter be closed. If that recommendation is approved, a
closing letter is sent to the individual or company that was the
subject of the investigation. The staff may instead recommend that the
Commission approve the informal settlement of a case, usually by
acceptance of an agreement containing a consent order to cease and
desist. If such a consent order is worked out, it customarily provides
that the respondent does not admit any violation of the law, but
agrees to be bound by an order requiring the discontinuance of the
challenged practices.
If the Commission determines that some action other than closing the
investigation is appropriate, but no consent agreement can be
negotiated, the Commission may issue a formal complaint alleging that
the respondent has violated one or more of the laws administered by
the Commission. The respondent is served with a copy of the complaint,
often accompanied by a proposed cease-and-desist order to be used if
the allegations of law violations are proved. The Commission's counsel
supporting the complaint and respondents may negotiate a consent
agreement after the issuance of the formal complaint. Otherwise, the
case is heard by an administrative law judge, who conducts a trial
that is open to the public and issues an initial decision.
The initial decision becomes the decision of the Commission at the end
of 30 days unless the respondent or the counsel supporting the
complaint appeals the decision to the Commission, or the Commission by
order stays the effective date or places the case on its own docket
for review. In the Commission's decision on such an appeal or review,
the initial decision may be sustained, modified, or reversed. If the
complaint is sustained or modified, a cease-and-desist order is
issued. If an initial decision dismissing a complaint is sustained, no
cease-and-desist order is issued.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
Under the Federal Trade Commission Act, an order to cease and desist
or to take other corrective action such as affirmative disclosure,
divestiture, or restitution becomes final 60 days after date of
service upon the respondent, unless within that period the respondent
petitions an appropriate United States court of appeals to review the
order. The court has power to affirm, modify, or set the order aside.
Either party, on writ of certiorari, may apply to the Supreme Court
for review of the action of the court of appeals. In case of review,
the order of the Commission becomes final after affirmation by the
court of appeals or by the Supreme Court of the United States, if
taken to that court on certiorari. Violations of a cease-and-desist
order, after it becomes final, subject the offender to suit by the
Government in a United States district court for the recovery of a
civil penalty of not more than $10,000 for each violation and, where
the violation continues, each day of its continuance is a separate
violation.
In addition to the administrative proceeding initiated by a formal
complaint, the Commission may, in some cases, request that a United
States district court issue a preliminary or permanent injunction to
halt the use of allegedly unfair or deceptive practices or to prevent
an anticompetitive merger from taking place. The Commission may also
bring suit in a United States district court to enforce a subpoena or
civil investigative demand issued by the Commission.
The Commission also has specific authority to ask the United States
district court to enjoin the dissemination of advertisements of food,
drugs, cosmetics, and devices intended for use in the diagnosis,
prevention, or treatment of disease, whenever it has reason to believe
that such a proceeding would be in the public interest. Preliminary
injunctions remain in effect until a cease-and-desist order is issued
and becomes final, or until the complaint is dismissed by the
Commission or the order is set aside by the court on review.
Further, the dissemination of a false advertisement of a food, drug,
device, or cosmetic, where the use of the commodity advertised may be
injurious to health or where there is intent to defraud or mislead,
constitutes a misdemeanor. Conviction subjects the offender to a fine
of not more than $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 6 months, or
both. Succeeding convictions may result in a fine of not more than
$10,000, or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both. The
statute provides that the Commission shall certify this type of case
to the Attorney General for institution of appropriate court
proceedings.
Compliance Activities Through systematic and continuous review, the
Commission obtains and maintains compliance with its cease-and-desist
orders. All respondents against whom such orders have been issued are
required to file reports with the Commission to substantiate their
compliance. In the event compliance is not obtained, or if the order
is subsequently violated, civil penalty proceedings may be instituted.
Violation of a court decree obtained by the Commission makes the
respondent further subject to contempt proceedings.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
Trade Regulation Rules The Commission is authorized to issue trade
regulation rules specifically defining acts or practices that are
unfair or deceptive. A rule may also specify steps to prevent such
practices from occurring. Such rules may be limited to certain
industries or be applicable to all businesses within the Commission's
jurisdiction. Rules are promulgated under specific procedures
providing for participation of interested parties, including oral
hearings and comments. The Commission's decision to issue a rule may
be appealed to a United States court of appeals. Once a rule has
become final, the Commission can institute a civil proceeding in a
United States district court for knowing violations of the rule and
seek civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation and consumer
redress.
Cooperative Procedures In carrying out the statutory directive to
``prevent'' the use in commerce of unfair practices, the Commission
makes extensive use of voluntary and cooperative procedures. Through
these procedures business and industry may obtain authoritative
guidance and a substantial measure of certainty as to what they may do
under the laws administered by the Commission.
Whenever it is practicable, the Commission will furnish an advisory
opinion as to whether a proposed course of conduct, if pursued, would
be likely to result in further action by the Commission. Such opinions
are binding on the Commission but are subject to the right of the
Commission to reconsider and rescind the opinion should the public
interest require. Information submitted will not be used as the basis
for a proceeding against the requesting party without prior notice and
opportunity to discontinue the course of action pursued in good faith
in reliance upon the Commission's advice.
Industry guides are administrative interpretations in laymen's
language of laws administered by the Commission for the guidance of
the public in conducting its affairs in conformity with legal
requirements. They provide the basis for voluntary and simultaneous
abandonment of unlawful practices by members of a particular industry
or industry in general. Failure to comply with the guides may result
in corrective action by the Commission under applicable statutory provisions.
Consumer Protection Consumer protection is one of the two main
missions of the Commission. In addition to preventing the use of
unfair or deceptive advertising and marketing practices generally, the
Commission enforces a number of specific laws that help consumers.
One of the laws the Commission enforces is the Consumer Credit
Protection Act, which establishes, among other things, rules for the
use of credit cards, the disclosure of the terms on which open- and
closed-end credit is granted, and the disclosure of the reasons a
business uses in determining not to grant credit.
The Truth in Lending Act is one part of the Consumer Credit Protection
Act. Its purpose is to ensure that every customer who has need for
consumer credit is given meaningful information with respect to the
cost of that credit. In most cases the credit cost must be expressed
in the dollar amount of finance charges, and as an annual percentage
rate computed on the unpaid balance of the amount financed. Other
relevant credit information must also be disclosed so that the
customer may compare the credit terms of different sources and avoid
the uninformed use of credit. The act further provides a customer the
right, in certain circumstances, to cancel a credit transaction
involving a lien on his or her residence. The Truth in Lending Act was
amended in October 1970 to regulate the issuance, holder's liability,
and the fraudulent use of credit cards. New credit cards may be issued
only in response to a request or application by the person who is to
receive the card. Also, the liability to the cardholder for
unauthorized use of a credit card is specifically limited to $50 if
the cardholder has taken reasonable steps to notify the card issuer of
the loss or theft. The act also establishes penalties for the
fraudulent use of credit cards in interstate or foreign commerce when
the aggregate retail value is $5,000 or more. The Commission enforces
the requirements of the Truth in Lending Act over finance companies,
retailers, non-Federal credit unions, and other creditors not
specifically regulated by another Government agency, and persons or
their agents who issue credit cards.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act, another part of the Consumer Credit
Protection Act, represents the first Federal regulation of the vast
consumer reporting industry, covering all credit bureaus,
investigative reporting companies, detective and collection agencies,
lenders' exchanges, and computerized information reporting companies.
The purpose of this act is to ensure that consumer reporting
activities are conducted in a manner that is fair and equitable,
upholding the consumer's right to privacy as against the informational
demands of others. The consumer is given several important new rights,
including the right to notice of reporting activities, the right to
access to information contained in consumer reports, and the right to
correction of erroneous information that may have been the basis for a
denial of credit, insurance, or employment.
Under the Wool Products Labeling Act, the Textile Fiber Products
Identification Act, and the Fur Products Labeling Act, the Commission
engages in compliance investigations, inspections, and industry
counseling; issues registered identification numbers; and records
continuing guaranties. The Commission has published rules and
regulations under these statutes, together with illustrations of
acceptable labeling, which supply full information concerning their
requirements. In connection with the Fur Act, the Commission has
issued a register of animal names, known as the Fur Products Name
Guide, for use in properly describing furs and fur products.
Economic Competition (Antitrust) The second major mission of the
Commission is to encourage competitive forces in the American economy.
Under the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Commission seeks to
prevent unfair practices that may keep one company from competing with
others. Under the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Act,
the Commission attempts to prevent mergers of companies if the result
may be to lessen competition. Under some circumstances, companies
planning to merge must first give notice to the Commission and the
Department of Justice's Antitrust Division and provide certain
information concerning the operations of the companies involved.
The Commission also enforces the provisions of the Robinson-Patman
Act, a part of the Clayton Act prohibiting companies from
discriminating among other companies that are its customers in terms
of price or other services provided.
Economic Factfinding The Commission makes economic and statistical
studies of conditions and problems affecting competition in the
economy. Reports of this nature may be in support of legislative
proposals, in response to requests of the Congress and statutory
directions, or for the information and guidance of the Commission and
the executive branch of the Government as well as the public. The
reports have provided the basis for significant legislation and, by
spotlighting poor economic or otherwise objectionable trade practices,
they have also led to voluntary changes in the conduct of business,
with resulting benefits to the public.
Advocacy Activities (Intervention) To promote competition, consumer
protection, and the efficient allocation of resources, the Commission
has an active program designed to advocate the consumer interest in a
competitive marketplace by encouraging courts, legislatures, and
government administrative bodies to consider efficiency and consumer
welfare as important elements in their deliberations. This is
accomplished by appearances before legislative, judicial, or
regulatory bodies at the local, State, or Federal level of government
when the decisions of these bodies may have implications affecting
competition, efficiency, and consumer welfare.
The Commission uses these opportunities to support procompetitive
means of regulating the Nation's economy, including the elimination of
anticompetitive regulations that reduce the welfare of consumers and
the implementation of regulatory programs that protect the public and
preserve as much as possible the discipline of competitive markets.
The competition and consumer advocacy program relies on persuasion
rather than coercion. It is intended to help legislators and
government officials better understand the consumer welfare
implications of proposed actions in the belief that this understanding
will result in policy decisions that benefit consumers and the
economy.

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
The General Services Administration establishes policy for and
provides economical and efficient management of Government property
and records, including construction and operation of buildings,
procurement and distribution of supplies, utilization and disposal of
property; transportation, traffic, and communications management; and
management of the Governmentwide automatic data processing resources
program.
The General Services Administration is organized much like a large
corporation doing business in a number of different fields and might
well be termed a conglomerate. It consists of operating services and
support staff offices, with functions carried out at three levels of
organization: the central office, regional offices, and field
activities.
The General Services Administration was established by section 101 of
the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40
U.S.C. 751).
Business, Industry, and Governmental Affairs The Offfice of Business,
Industry, and Governmental Affairs implements GSA's initiatives
promoting GSA as a full-service, customer-oriented agency. The Office
manages the GSA Ombudsman Program, facilitating communications between
GSA and customer agencies and private industry. It coordinates the
Customer Outreach Program and recommends the establishment of advisory
groups such as the Client Advisory Board and the Business Advisory
Board. The Office also coordinates activities with State, local, and
foreign governments in areas of common interest.
Acquisition Policy The Office of Acquisition Policy plans, directs,
and coordinates a comprehensive, agencywide acquisition policy
program, including the establishment of major agency acquisition goals
and objectives.
The Office of Acquisition Policy has a major role in developing,
maintaining, issuing, and administering the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR), which is applicable to all Federal agencies. It
chairs the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and provides
administrative support through the FAR Secretariat. The Office
develops GSA implementing and supplementing regulations required by
FAR, which is published as the General Services Administration
Acquisition Regulation.
The Office manages the Agency's internal system for the suspension and
debarment of nonresponsive contractors and a Governmentwide system for
exchanging information on debarred, suspended, and ineligible parties;
reviews selected major contract awards proposed by the Agency prior to
award; coordinates GSA's Multiple Awards Schedule Program; and
performs onsite intra-agency and interagency procurement management
reviews. The Office also is responsible for overseeing the Agency's
acquisition information system and serves as agency coordinator for
the Federal Procurement Data System.
The Office's Federal Acquisition Institute fosters and promotes
Governmentwide career management and training programs to develop a
professional work force and coordinates Governmentwide studies to
improve the procurement process.
In addition, Acquisition Policy establishes standards and requirements
for the development of programs to enhance the recruitment, training,
certification, and career development of employees engaged in the
acquisition process.
For further information, call 202 501 1043.
Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization The Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business Utilization plans, implements, and evaluates
comprehensive agencywide procurement preference programs. Included
among these are the Small Business Program; the Women in Business
Program; the Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Business Program;
the Subcontracting Program; the Labor Surplus Area Program; the
Javits/Wagner-O'Day Program; the Federal Prison Industry Program; and
the Rural Area Development Program.
The Office coordinates and develops policies that regulate the
operation and the implementation of the Small Business Programs under
sections 8 and 15 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637, 644).
The Office provides assistance, information, and counseling to small
business persons interested in pursuing Federal Government contracts
and conducts outreach, liaison, source listing, and seminars for small
and disadvantaged businesses. This is accomplished through the
Business Service Center Program.
Business Service Centers are located in major metropolitan areas.
Service center counselors travel within their regions lecturing on the
Federal procurement process. They also provide information on the new
item introduction program and buying programs of other agencies. The
Centers are also responsible for receiving and safeguarding bids
(maintaining the integrity of the bid process).
Business Service Centers assist agency procurement officers by
identifying potential suppliers. In doing this, they rely not only on
``walk-in'' contacts at reception areas but actively seek out business
concerns which may be able to supply the Government's needs. They also
operate bid rooms where vendors' offers are publicly opened and
posted.
Special emphasis is placed on outreach programs that counsel small,
small disadvantaged, minority, and women business owners.

Federal Supply Service
The Federal Supply Service (FSS) provides quality goods and services
required by Federal departments and agencies to assure that their
needs are efficiently and effectively met, at the least possible cost
to the taxpayer. Towards this goal, FSS operates a worldwide supply
system to contract for and distribute personal property and services
to Federal agencies. FSS manages Governmentwide transportation and
travel services and regulations, including transportation audits;
operates a vehicle fleet program; and administers a Governmentwide
property management program for the utilization of excess personal
property and the donation and/or sale of surplus property. The Service
provides over $8 billion annually in common-use goods and services.
As a provider of supplies, FSS determines the method of supply that is
most economical and effective from among its Stock, Special Order, and
Federal Supply Schedule Programs. Through the FSS Stock Program,
Federal workers are able to perform their functions by using over
17,000 commercial items which are received, stored, and issued through
its wholesale distribution system. Under the Special Order Program
supplies or services, for which demand is limited or related to
special needs, are purchased by FSS for direct shipment from the
vendor to the user. The Federal Supply Schedule Program is utilized
when Federal requirements are widely diversified and/or there is a
rapidly evolving state of technology present with the product lines or
services.
To eliminate unnecessary expenditures and maximize the utilization of
federally owned personal property, FSS directs and coordinates, on a
worldwide basis, a Government property management program. Under this
program, excess personal property is transferred to other agencies
and, ultimately, is donated to eligible recipients or disposed of
through competitive public sales.
The Federal Supply Service administers Governmentwide programs for
transportation and travel management, transportation audits, and fleet
management to meet the requirements of Federal agencies. Through the
travel management program, contracts are established with travel
agencies, airline companies, and Diners Club. Negotiations are then
arranged with hotels and motels, so that FSS can offer Federal
employees greatly reduced rates while on official travel.
To provide agencies with economical fleet management services, FSS
operates an interagency fleet management system comprised of 130,000
vehicles. In conjunction with the Department of Energy, FSS is
introducing alternative fuel vehicles into the Federal fleet. These
vehicles are being acquired under the auspices of the Alternative
Motor Fuels Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 6201 et seq.). The first vehicles
65 sedans capable of operating on methanol, unleaded gasoline, or any
combination of both are already in use.
In addition, as the Government's civilian freight manager, FSS
provides rating and routing services to customer agencies at 20 50
percent off commercial rates, as well as small package overnight
delivery service at a savings of 70 percent below commercial rates.

Public Buildings Service
The Public Buildings Service (PBS) is responsible for the design,
building or leasing, appraisal, repair, operation, protection, and
maintenance of most of the federally controlled buildings in the
Nation. It has responsibility for 250 million square feet of space,
excluding outside parking areas, in about 7,200 federally owned and
leased buildings, in addition to approximately $5.5 billion in
construction projects currently underway. The President issued
Executive Order 12512 of April 29, 1985, which gave PBS the
responsibility to provide leadership in the development and
maintenance of needed property management information systems for the
Government.
The Public Buildings Act of 1959 (40 U.S.C. 601 615) gave PBS
authority over the construction of most Federal public buildings
nationwide. This act was expanded by the Public Buildings Amendments
of 1972, establishing a new method of funding PBS operations through a
special fund to be financed from user charges paid by agencies using
agency-controlled space.
The Public Buildings Cooperative Use Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2505) was
signed into law by the President on October 18, 1976. This legislation
changes the way PBS manages Federal buildings by allowing occupancy of
space by commercial tenants. The law also encourages renovation and
conversion to Federal use of older buildings of historic or cultural
value.
For further information, call 202 501 1100.
Design and Construction As a Federal construction agency, PBS plans
and executes a major design and construction program to expand and
modernize its nationwide inventory of buildings for housing Federal
agencies. New construction projects are undertaken for long-term
housing needs either to meet new space requests or to replace
leaseholds with more economically owned space. Repair and alteration
projects are performed as necessary to keep the buildings safe,
efficient, and serviceable. Architectural and engineering studies and
other consultation services are performed to support other functional
areas within PBS. Such services, as well as construction management
services, are provided to other agencies. The program is executed by
eight regional offices, predominately through contracting with private
sector design and construction professionals.
The Public Buildings Service conducts applied research to develop and
maintain facility standards and criteria based on state-of-the-art
technology for application in its design and construction program.
Emphasis in other areas such as energy conservation, handicapped
accessibility, historic preservation, and art-in-architecture are
actively pursued.
For further information, contact the Office of Real Property
Development. Phone, 202 501 1025.
Real Estate The Public Buildings Service is responsible for managing
the acquisition, assignment, and utilization of general-purpose,
Government-owned and -leased space for Federal agencies. A nationwide
organization of real estate professionals executes this task through
eight regional offices as well as a number of facility support
centers. Professional standards, practices, and techniques, including
professional space planning and programming and computer-aided design,
are used to assist client agencies in determining requirements and
developing technical specifications for leasing, construction, or
alteration of space. A key goal is to deliver the optimum amount of
quality workspace to support agency activities at a minimum cost to
the Government. The real estate organization oversees execution of a
$1.5 billion leasing budget as well as a building purchase program
that buys commercial office buildings to meet Federal space needs.
For further information, contact the Office of Real Property
Development. Phone, 202 501 1025.
Real Property Management and Safety The objective of PBS is to
provide an attractive, well-maintained, and safe setting in which
Federal employees will feel stimulated and proud to work. The
management of federally owned and leased buildings encompasses such
activities as the operation, maintenance, repair, and alteration of
the structures, as well as safety, energy conservation, and
concessions programs.
The comprehensive fire, occupational safety, health, and environmental
programs further enhance the work environment for employees in
GSA-controlled facilities. PBS' environmental responsibilities are
particularly focused on recycling and energy conservation programs. In
addition, it oversees the operations and management of GSA-controlled
facilities which have been delegated to other agencies.
For further information, contact the Office of Real Property
Management and Safety. Phone, 202 501 0971.
Physical Security and Law Enforcement The Public Buildings Service is
responsible for law enforcement and security services that are
provided to occupants and visitors on property under the Agency's
charge and control. These services encompass preventive patrolling and
timely responses to criminal occurrences, incidents, and
life-threatening events; investigation of crimes and violations of
Federal statutes; implementation of crime prevention activities,
including tenant awareness programs; coordination of a comprehensive
occupant emergency program; installation and maintenance of perimeter
security devices and systems; performance of physical security surveys
and vulnerability assessments of all properties on a recurring basis;
and a wide range of physical security advisory and consulting
services.
For further information, contact the Office of Physical Security and

Planning An integral part of PBS' space provision activities is the
planning effort that provides the framework for project development.
The planning process ensures that long-range housing requirements of
the Federal work force are satisfied in the most economic and
effective manner by analyzing and comparing the cost and impacts of
various housing alternatives, including construction, direct
acquisition, alteration of existing facilities, and leasing. Housing
alternatives are analyzed at both the nationwide and community level.
Plans are developed with tenant agency participation to ensure that
they are housed in locations and facilities that maximize their
operational efficiency and delivery of services to the public.
Planning is vitally concerned with the socioeconomic and cultural
conditions of the nation's communities and makes every effort to have
a positive impact through PBS activities. The Service promotes and
encourages intergovernmental cooperation and coordination with State
and local governments and their planning, land use, zoning, historic
preservation, and environmental programs. In addition, PBS conducts
environmental impact analyses which are coupled with economic and
technical project analyses to ensure that environmental considerations
are included in the project development effort.
The Service's planning process provides the framework for more than
just project development; it provides guidance and direction for all
policy and program development. This is accomplished through its
strategic planning effort which includes full participation by all PBS
elements.
For further information, contact the Office of Planning. Phone, 202

Procurement The Service plans, directs, and coordinates on a
servicewide basis a comprehensive program of contracting and
management, including the development and administration of
procurement policies, regulations, and procedures; construction,
architecture, and engineering services; building management services;
and repair and alteration procurements. Its major objectives include
developing, establishing, and monitoring major acquisitions, and
executing and administering assigned Federal grants. An oversight
responsibility ensures compliance with acquisition policies,
regulations, and procedures.
For further information, contact the Office of Procurement. Phone, 202
501 0907.
Public Utilities Management In managing the public utilities program,
PBS reviews public utility rate schedules to determine the adequacy of
the rates in respect to the Government as a consumer; negotiates
utility rates and contracts for general Government use and for
numerous special situations; and on behalf of Federal agencies,
provides advice and expert testimony in proceedings before regulatory
bodies when the Government's interest as a consumer needs to be
protected. In addition, Governmentwide standards concerning the
procurement, use, and conservation of utilities are issued to regulate
and furnish management guidance in this area.
For further information, contact the Office of Procurement. Phone, 202
501 0907.
Governmentwide Real Property Relations The Service develops, directs,
and administers comprehensive programs in the following areas:
Governmentwide real property asset management reforms (pursuant to
Executive Order 12512 of April 29, 1985);
client outreach to ensure excellent relations and proper
communications between the Service and client agencies;
art and historic preservation;
management of worldwide real property inventory systems;
coordination of client agency space plans required under the asset
management reform initiative; and
coordination with Federal agencies on initiatives having
Governmentwide application for which PBS has a role, such as physical
fitness and ridesharing.

Federal Property Resources Service
The Federal Property Resources Service maintains an extensive program
to provide for the proper utilization and disposal of Government real
property. The goal of this program is to provide for the efficient and
economical utilization of Federal real property and the disposal of
any real property surplus to Federal requirements.
In furtherance of this goal, the Service directs a continuing survey
of Federal real properties to determine if they are not utilized,
underutilized, or being put to their optimum use. Property worth
millions of dollars has been reported excess to the Agency for further
Federal utilization or disposal as a direct result of the survey
program.
Property no longer needed by a Federal agency is reported as excess to
the Service for disposal. Excess property may be transferred to
another Federal agency for its use in lieu of acquiring additional
facilities.
Property that is not needed by any Federal agency is determined
surplus and may be made available for local public purposes specified
by law where the highest and best use of the property is for such
purposes and the use has exceptional merit. Such properties are also
made available to homeless providers for homeless assistance purposes
when determined suitable by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development under the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act.
Properties not needed for Federal purposes and not transferred to a
local public body for authorized public uses are generally disposed of
through negotiated or public competitive sale.
The Service also conducts sales, on a reimbursable basis, for other
agencies having their own disposal authority.
For further information, contact the Office of Real Estate Policy and
Sales. Phone, 202 501 0084.

The Inter-American Foundation is an independent Government corporation
that supports social and economic development in Latin America and the
Caribbean. It makes grants primarily to private, indigenous
organizations that carry out self-help projects benefiting poor
people.
The Inter-American Foundation was created by Congress in 1969 (22
U.S.C. 290f) as a public corporation to support the self-help efforts
of poor people in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Foundation was
established because of congressional concern that traditional programs
of development assistance were not reaching poor people. Instead of
working through governments, the Foundation responds directly to the
initiatives of the poor by supporting local and private organizations.
Approximately one-half of the Foundation's funds come from
congressional appropriations and the remainder from the Social
Progress Trust Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank.
The Foundation was created as an independent agency so that its
operations would not be affected by short-term U.S. foreign policy
considerations. It is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
By law, six members of the Board are from private organizations and
three are from the Government.
The Foundation has made 2,918 grants, totaling over $292 million in 36
countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. Most grants are made to
private, grassroots organizations, including community associations
and small urban enterprises or to larger organizations that work with
local groups and provide them with credit, technical assistance,
training, and marketing services. A small number of grants each year
are made to centers in Latin America and the Caribbean for research on
the problems of poor people and grassroots development.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
The Interstate Commerce Commission regulates interstate surface
transportation, including trains, trucks, buses, water carriers,
household goods transporters, freight forwarders, transportation
brokers, and pipelines that are not regulated by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission. The regulatory laws vary depending on the type
of transportation; however, they generally involve certification of
carriers seeking to provide transportation for the public and
regulation of their rates, adequacy of service, and carrier
consolidations. The Commission assures that the public receives
shipping rates and services that are fair and reasonable.
The Interstate Commerce Commission was created as an independent
regulatory agency by act of February 4, 1887 (49 U.S.C. 10101 et
seq.), now known as the Interstate Commerce Act.
The Commission's responsibilities include regulation of carriers
engaged in transportation in interstate commerce and in foreign
commerce to the extent that it takes place within the United States.
Surface transportation under the Commission's jurisdiction includes
railroads, trucking companies, bus lines, household goods
transporters, freight forwarders, water carriers, transportation
brokers, and pipelines that are not regulated by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
The Commission's authority has been strengthened and its jurisdiction
broadened by subsequent legislation, such as the Hepburn Act, the
Panama Canal Act, the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, and the
Transportation Acts of 1920, 1940, and 1958.
However, in more recent legislation, beginning with the Railroad
Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 (45 U.S.C. 801), the
Commission's statutory mandate has been altered to provide for less
regulation over carrier rates and practices. This fundamental shift in
national transportation policy has proceeded in the Motor Carrier Act
of 1980, the Staggers Rail Act of 1980, the Household Goods
Transportation Act of 1980, the Bus Regulatory Reform Act of 1982, and
the Surface Freight Forwarder Deregulation Act of 1986. These measures
provided for a sharply reduced Federal role in regulating the
trucking, railroad, and bus industries.
The Chairman is designated by the President from among the
Commissioners. The Commissioners elect their own Vice Chairman
annually and may delegate certain duties and functions to individual
Commissioners or to boards consisting of not less than three eligible
employees.
Field offices are maintained in various cities to monitor the utiliza
tion of railroad freight cars in order to avoid severe shortages,
investigate violations of the Interstate Commerce Act and related
laws, and provide assistance to the public in its use of regulated
carriers that provide transportation by railroad, highway, and
waterway.
Activities
In broad terms and within prescribed legal limits, Commission
regulations encompass transportation economics and service.
In the transportation economics area, the Commission settles
controversies over rates and charges among regulated carriers,
shippers, receivers of freight, passengers, and others. It rules upon
applications for mergers, consolidations, and acquisitions of control.
It prescribes accounting rules, awards reparations, and administers
laws relating to railroad bankruptcy. It acts to prevent unlawful
discrimination, destructive competition, and rebating. It also has
jurisdiction over the use, control, supply, movement, distribution,
exchange, interchange, and return of railroad equipment. Under certain
limited conditions, it is authorized to direct the handling and
movement of traffic over a railroad and its distribution over other
lines of railroads.
In the transportation service area, the Commission grants the right to
operate to railroads, trucking companies, bus lines, household goods
transporters, freight forwarders, water carriers, and transportation
brokers. It also approves applications to construct and abandon
railroad lines.
Although public hearings on matters before the Commission may be held
at any point throughout the country, final decisions are made at the
Washington, DC, headquarters in all formal proceedings. These cases
include rulings upon rate changes, applications to engage in for-hire
transport, carrier mergers, adversary proceedings on complaint
actions, and punitive measures taken in enforcement matters.
Consumer protection programs involve ensuring that the public obtains
full measure of all transportation services to which entitlement is
guaranteed by the Interstate Commerce Act. This law ensures that rates
will be fair and service will be reasonable. Discrimination,
preferential treatment, or prejudicial actions by carriers are
illegal, and instances of such violations should be brought to the
attention of the Commission at its headquarters or any field office.
The Office of Special Counsel was created by the Commission in
November 1978 to help determine the public interest in proceedings
subject to Commission jurisdiction. The Office can participate as a
party or as an aid in the establishment of a record in those
proceedings in which the public interest would be otherwise
inadequately represented. The Office has authority to appear before
the Commission, other agencies, and the courts. It is now part of the
Office of Public Assistance.
The Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973 created in early 1974 a
Rail Services Planning Office to ensure that public interest is
represented in the restructuring and revitalization of railroads in
the Northeast and Midwest. The Office was given permanent status by
the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 and is
now part of the Office of Economics. In addition to its other
responsibilities, it provides planning support for the Commission.

[For the Merit Systems Protection Board statement of organization, see
the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 5, Part 1200]
The Merit Systems Protection Board protects the integrity of Federal
merit systems and the rights of Federal employees working in the
systems. In overseeing the personnel practices of the Federal
Government, the Board conducts special studies of the merit systems,
hears and decides charges of wrongdoing and employee appeals of
adverse agency actions, and orders corrective and disciplinary actions
when appropriate.
The Merit Systems Protection Board is a successor agency to the United
States Civil Service Commission, established by act of January 16,
1883 (22 Stat. 403). Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1978 (5 U.S.C.
app.), effective January 1, 1979, pursuant to Executive Order 12107 of
December 28, 1978, redesignated part of the Commission as the Merit
Systems Protection Board. The Board's duties and authority are
specified in 5 U.S.C. 1201 through 1206.
Activities
The Board has responsibility for hearing and adjudicating appeals by
Federal employees of adverse personnel actions, such as removals,
suspensions, and demotions. It also resolves cases involving
reemployment rights, the denial of periodic step increases in pay,
actions against administrative law judges, and charges of prohibited
personnel practices, including charges in connection with
whistleblowing. The Board has the authority to enforce its decisions
and to order corrective and disciplinary actions. An employee or
applicant for employment involved in an appealable action that also
involves an allegation of discrimination may ask the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission to review a Board decision. Final decisions and
orders of the Board can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit.
The Board reviews regulations issued by the Office of Personnel
Management and has the authority to require agencies to cease
compliance with any regulation that could constitute a prohibited
personnel practice. It also conducts special studies of the civil
service and other executive branch merit systems and reports to the
President and the Congress on whether the Federal work force is being
adequately protected against political abuses and prohibited personnel
practices.

The National Archives and Records Administration establishes policies
and procedures for managing U.S. Government records. The National
Archives assists Federal agencies in documenting their activities,
administering records management programs, scheduling records, and
retiring noncurrent records to Federal Records Centers. The Agency
also accessions, arranges, describes, preserves, and makes available
to the public the historically valuable records of the three branches
of Government; manages the Presidential Libraries system; assists the
National Historical Publications and Records Commission in its grant
program for State and local records and edited publications of the
papers of prominent Americans; and publishes the laws, regulations,
and Presidential and other public documents.
The National Archives and Records Administration was established by
act of October 19, 1984 (44 U.S.C. 2101 et seq.), effective April 1,
1985, as an independent agency in the executive branch of the
Government. It is the successor agency to the National Archives
Establishment, which was created by act of June 19, 1934 (48 Stat.
1122), and subsequently incorporated into the General Services
Administration as the National Archives and Records Service by section
104 of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949
(63 Stat. 381), approved June 30, 1949.
Activities
Archival Program The National Archives maintains the historically
valuable records of the U.S. Government dating from the Revolutionary
War era to the recent past; arranges and preserves records and
prepares finding aids to facilitate their use; makes records available
for use in research rooms in all of its facilities; answers written
and oral requests for information contained in its holdings; and, for
a fee, provides copies of records. In addition, many important records
are available on microfilm. Most of the historically valuable records
in the Agency's custody are maintained in the Washington, DC, area.

[For the National Capital Planning Commission statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 1, Part
456.2]
The National Capital Planning Commission is the central agency for
conducting planning and development activities for the Federal
Government in the National Capital region. The region includes the
District of Columbia and all land areas within the boundaries of
Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland and Fairfax,
Loudoun, Prince William, and Arlington Counties in Virginia.
The National Capital Planning Commission was created as an independent
establishment by the National Capital Planning Act of 1952 (40 U.S.C.
71a; D.C. Code 1 1001 1013).
The Commission is composed of five appointed and seven ex officio
members. Three citizen members, including the Chairman, are appointed
by the President and two by the mayor of the District of Columbia.
Presidential appointees include one resident each from Maryland and
Virginia and one from anywhere in the United States; however, the two
mayoral appointees must be District of Columbia residents.
Activities
The Commission has three primary functions: comprehensive planning to
ensure the orderly development of the Federal Establishment and
protection of Federal interests in the National Capital region, plan
and program review, and preparation of the Federal Capital
Improvements Program.
Comprehensive Planning The Comprehensive Plan is a statement of
policies dealing with the growth and development of the National
Capital and consists of both Federal and District elements. It is an
important planning tool that provides a framework for policy decisions
regarding physical development proposed by Federal, State, local, and
regional agencies.
The Commission's comprehensive planning function involves preparation
and adoption of Federal elements of the Comprehensive Plan for the
National Capital as well as review, for Federal interests, of District
or non-Federal elements of the Comprehensive Plan that are prepared by
the mayor and adopted by the Council of the District of Columbia. If
any District element is determined to have a negative impact on
Federal interests, the Commission may veto it.
Plan and Program Review The Commission's plan and program review
function consists of reviewing plans and programs proposed by Federal,
State, regional, and local agencies or jurisdictions in the National
Capital region. This function provides the Commission with an
opportunity to coordinate plan and program proposals.
Following this review the Commission, with regard to certain types of
projects, provides the sponsoring agency with comments and
recommendations. Approval by the Commission must be obtained prior to
construction of Federal public buildings in the District of Columbia
and District of Columbia buildings in the central area of the
District.
Each Federal or District project comes to the Commission for review at
several stages. The first submission by an agency may be a master plan
for an entire installation or facility. Plans for construction of
individual projects implementing a master plan are submitted to the
Commission at both the preliminary and the final stages.
Federal Capital Improvements Programming Another comprehensive
planning activity is the preparation, adoption, and updating of the
Five-Year Federal Capital Improvements Program, a ``budget'' schedule
for Federal physical improvements throughout the National Capital
region. It is prepared by the Commission in order to systematically
review proposed Federal agency projects with regard to timing,
location, and financing, and to coordinate agency development plans
throughout the region.
A Federal Capital budget represents the first year of the 5-year
program and consists of capital outlay requests for the region
contained in the President's fiscal year Federal budget transmitted to
Congress. The program for the second through fifth years incorporates
Commission recommendations to Federal agencies and the Office of
Management and Budget for subsequent budget submissions to Congress.
Additional Activities Other Commission responsibilities include review
of all proposed zoning regulations, map changes, and amendments to the
District of Columbia zoning ordinance in order to ensure consistency
of zoning regulations with Federal interests and with the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Commission also:
adopts urban renewal area boundaries;
prepares, adopts, and modifies urban renewal plans;
approves the Permanent System of Highways Plan;
makes recommendations on proposed street and alley closings;
approves transfers of jurisdiction between Federal and District
agencies;
approves the sale of surplus property and park land; and
acquires land for parks and parkways in the National Capital region.
The Commission serves the entire National Capital region by
coordinating Federal planning and development with the planning
activities of State, local, and regional agencies and jurisdictions.

Capital Planning Commission, Suite 301, 801 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.,

[For the National Credit Union Administration statement of

720]
The National Credit Union Administration Board is responsible for
chartering, insuring, supervising, and examining Federal credit unions
and administering the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. The
Board also manages the Central Liquidity Facility, a mixed-ownership
Government corporation whose purpose is to supply emergency loans to
member credit unions.
The National Credit Union Administration was established by act of
March 10, 1970 (12 U.S.C. 1752), and reorganized by act of November
10, 1978 (12 U.S.C. 226), as an independent agency in the executive
branch of the Federal Government. It regulates and insures all Federal
credit unions and insures State-chartered credit unions that apply and
qualify for share insurance.
Activities
Chartering The Administration's Board grants Federal credit union
charters to groups sharing a common bond of occupation or association,
or groups within a well-defined neighborhood, community, or rural
district. A preliminary investigation is made to determine if certain
minimum standards are met before granting a Federal charter.
For further information, contact the appropriate regional office
listed in the table on page 639.
Supervision Supervisory activities are carried out through annual
examiner contacts and through periodic policy and regulatory releases
from the Administration. The Administration also maintains a warning
system designed to identify emerging problems as well as to monitor
operations between examinations.
Examinations The Administration conducts annual examinations of
Federal credit unions to determine their solvency and compliance with
laws and regulations and to assist credit union management and
operations.
For further information, contact the Director, Office of Examination
and Insurance. Phone, 202 682 9640.
Share Insurance The act of October 19, 1970 (12 U.S.C. 1781 et seq.
), provides for a program of share insurance. The insurance is
mandatory for Federal credit unions and for State-chartered credit
unions in many States and is optional for other State-chartered credit
unions that meet Administration standards. Credit union members'
accounts are insured up to $100,000. The National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund requires each insured credit union to place and
maintain a 1-percent deposit of its insured savings with the Fund.
For further information, contact the Director, Office of Examination
and Insurance. Phone, 202 682 9640.

National Endowment for the Humanities
The National Endowment for the Humanities is an independent,
grant-making agency established by Congress in 1965 to support
research, education, and public programs in the humanities.
According to the agency's authorizing legislation, the term
``humanities'' includes, but is not limited to, the study of the
following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics;
literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archeology;
comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism, and theory of
the arts; and those aspects of the social sciences that employ
historical or philosophical approaches.
The Endowment makes grants to individuals, groups, or institutions
schools, colleges, universities, museums, public television stations,
libraries, public agencies, and nonprofit private groups to increase
understanding and appreciation of the humanities. Its grant-making is
conducted through five operating divisions Education Programs,
Fellowships and Seminars, General Programs, Research Programs, and
State Programs and two offices Challenge Grants and Preservation.
Education Grants Grants in the Division of Education Programs support
efforts in elementary and secondary schools as well as in institutions
of higher education to improve instruction in humanities disciplines
and to disseminate results of exemplary education programs.

Institute of Museum Services
The Institute of Museum Services is an independent, grant-making
agency established by Congress in 1976 to assist museums in
maintaining, increasing, and improving their services to the public.
The Institute of Museum Services (IMS) was created by the Museum
Services Act (20 U.S.C. 961 note). In December 1981, pursuant to title
II of act of Dec. 23, 1981 (20 U.S.C. 961, 962), the Institute was
established as an independent agency within the National Foundation on
the Arts and the Humanities. The Institute's Director is appointed by
the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, and is
authorized to make grants to museums subject to policy directives and
priorities set by the National Museum Services Board. The Board is
comprised of 15 Presidentially appointed nonvoting members and 5 ex
officio nonvoting members.
The Institute awards grants on a competitive basis to support the
efforts of museums to conserve the Nation's historic, scientific, and
cultural heritage; to maintain and expand their educational role; and
to ease the financial burden borne by museums as a result of their
increasing use by the public. The Institute awards grants to all types
of museums, including but not limited to art, history, general,
children's, natural history, science and technology, historic houses,
zoos and aquariums, botanical gardens and arboretums, nature centers,
and planetariums.
The Institute currently makes grants in four categories: General
Operating Support, Conservation Project Support, Museum Assessment
Program, and Professional Services Program. General Operating Support
grants are annual competitive awards that maintain or improve the
operations of museums. Conservation Project Support grants are annual
competitive awards, for projects lasting up to 2 years, that provide
funds for various conservation efforts. Museum Assessment Program
grants are one-time awards made to museums to provide for an
independent, professional assessment of their programs and operations.
Professional Services Program grants provide funding to national,
regional, State, or local private, nonprofit professional museum
organizations and associations for proposals designed to strengthen
museum services.

[For the National Labor Relations Board statement of organization, see
the Federal Register of June 14, 1979, 44 FR 34215]
The National Labor Relations Board administers the Nation's principal
labor law, the National Labor Relations Act. The Board is vested with
the power to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by
private sector employers and unions and to safeguard employees' rights
to organize and determine, through secret ballot elections, whether to
have unions as their bargaining representative.
The National Labor Relations Board is an independent agency created by
the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (Wagner Act) (29 U.S.C. 167),
as amended by acts of 1947 (Taft-Hartley Act), 1959 (Landrum-Griffin
Act), and 1974.
The act affirms the right of employees to self-organization and
collective bargaining through representatives of their own choosing,
to engage in other protected, concerted activities, or to refrain from
such activities. The act prohibits certain unfair labor practices by
employers and labor organizations or their agents. It authorizes the
Board to designate appropriate units for collective bargaining and to
conduct secret ballot elections to determine whether employees desire
representation by a labor organization.
As of July 1, 1971, the Postal Reorganization Act (39 U.S.C. note
prec. 101) conferred jurisdiction upon the Board over unfair labor
practice charges and representation elections affecting U.S. Postal
Service employees. As of August 25, 1974, jurisdiction over all
privately operated health care institutions was conferred on the Board
by an amendment to the act (29 U.S.C. 152 et seq.).
Activities
Under the act, the Board has two principal functions: preventing and
remedying unfair labor practices by employers and labor organizations
or their agents, and conducting secret ballot elections among
employees in appropriate collective-bargaining units to determine
whether or not they desire to be represented by a labor organization
in bargaining with employers about their wages, hours, and working
conditions. The Board also conducts secret ballot elections among
employees who have been covered by a union-security agreement to
determine whether or not they wish to revoke their union's authority
to make such agreements. In jurisdictional disputes between two or
more unions, the Board determines which competing group of workers is
entitled to perform the work involved. The Board conducts secret
ballot elections among employees concerning employers' final
settlement offers in national emergency labor disputes.
In unfair labor practice cases, the General Counsel has final
authority to investigate charges, issue complaints, and prosecute such
complaints before administrative law judges and the Board. The General
Counsel, on behalf of the Board, prosecutes injunction proceedings;
handles courts of appeals proceedings to enforce or review Board
decisions and orders; participates in miscellaneous court litigation;
and obtains compliance with Board orders and court judgments. The
General Counsel is responsible for supervising personnel who process
unfair labor practice charges and election petitions.
Under the general supervision of the General Counsel, 33 regional
directors and their staffs process representation, unfair labor
practice, and jurisdictional dispute cases. (Some regions have
subregional or resident offices.) They issue complaints in unfair
labor practice cases; seek settlement of unfair labor practice
charges; obtain compliance with Board orders and court judgments; and
petition district courts for injunctions to prevent or remedy unfair
labor practices. The regional directors direct hearings in
representation cases; conduct elections pursuant to the agreement of
the parties or the decision-making authority delegated to them by the
Board or pursuant to Board directions; and issue certifications of
representatives when unions win or certify the results when unions
lose employee elections. They process petitions for bargaining unit
clarification, for amendment of certification, and for rescission of a
labor organization's authority to make a union-shop agreement. They
also conduct national emergency employee referendums.
The Board can act only when it is formally requested to do so.
Individuals, employers, or unions may initiate cases by filing charges
of unfair labor practices or petitions for employee representation
elections with the Board field offices serving the area where the case
arises.
In the event that a regional director declines to proceed on a
representation petition, the party filing the petition may appeal to
the Board. When a regional director declines to proceed on an unfair
labor practice charge, the charging party may appeal to the General
Counsel. For details concerning filing such appeals with those
Washington, DC, offices, parties may contact the field office most
convenient to them. Field office addresses and telephone numbers are
listed below. Administrative law judges conduct hearings in unfair
labor practice cases, make findings of fact and conclusions of law,
and recommend remedies for violations found. Their decisions can be
reviewed by the Board if exceptions to the decision are filed.

Room A931, 175 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604
Phone, 312 886 7300
Staff Director/Grievances
Roy J. Carvatta
The National Mediation Board, in carrying out the provisions of the
Railway Labor Act, assists in maintaining a free flow of commerce in
the railroad and airline industries by resolving disputes that could
disrupt travel or imperil the economy. The Board also handles railroad
and airline employee representation disputes and maintains financial
supervision of the National Railroad Adjustment Board, which handles
rail grievances relating to the interpretation and application of
existing contracts.
The National Mediation Board was created on June 21, 1934, by an act
amending the Railway Labor Act, as amended (45 U.S.C. 151 158, 160
162, 1181 1188).
The Board's major responsibilities include the mediation of disputes
over wages, hours, and working conditions that arise between rail and
air carriers and organizations representing their employees; and the
investigation of representation disputes and certification of employee
organizations as representatives of crafts or classes of carrier
employees.
Disputes arising out of grievances or interpretation or application of
agreements concerning rates of pay, rules, or working conditions in
the railroad industry are referable to the National Railroad
Adjustment Board. This Board is divided into four divisions and
consists of an equal number of representatives of the carriers and of
national organizations of employees. In deadlocked cases the National
Mediation Board is authorized to appoint a referee to sit with the
members of the division for the purpose of making an award.
In the airline industry no national airline adjustment board has been
established for settlement of grievances. Over the years the employee
organizations and air carriers with established bargaining
relationships have agreed to grievance procedures with final
jurisdiction resting with a system board of adjustment. The Board is
frequently called upon to name a neutral referee to serve on a system
board when the parties are deadlocked and cannot agree on such an
appointment themselves.
Activities
Mediation Disputes The National Mediation Board is charged with
mediating disputes between carriers and labor organizations relating
to initial contract negotiations or subsequent changes in rates of
pay, rules, and working conditions. When the parties fail to reach
accord in direct bargaining either party may request the Board's
services or the Board may on its own motion invoke its services.
Thereafter, negotiations continue until the Board determines that its
efforts to mediate have been unsuccessful, at which time it seeks to
induce the parties to submit the dispute to arbitration. If either
party refuses to arbitrate, the Board issues a notice stating that the
parties have failed to resolve their dispute through mediation. This
notice commences a 30-day cooling-off period after which self-help is
normally available to either or both parties.
Employee Representation If a dispute arises among a carrier's
employees as to who is to be the representative of such employees, it
is the Board's duty to investigate such dispute and to determine by
secret-ballot election or other appropriate means whether or not and
to whom a representation certification should be issued. In the course
of making this determination, the Board must determine the craft or
class in which the employees seeking representation properly belong.
Additional Duties Additional duties of the Board include the
interpretation of agreements made under its mediatory auspices; the
appointment of neutral referees when requested by the National
Railroad Adjustment Board; the appointment of neutrals to sit on
system boards and special boards of adjustment; and finally, the duty
of notifying the President when the parties have failed to reach
agreement through the Board's mediation efforts and that the labor
dispute, in the judgment of the Board, threatens substantially to
interrupt interstate commerce to a degree such as to deprive any
section of the country of essential transportation service. In these
cases, the President may, at his discretion, appoint an Emergency
Board to investigate and report to him on the dispute. Self-help is
barred for 60 days after appointment of the Emergency Board.
Section 9A of the Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 159a) provides
emergency dispute procedures covering publicly funded and operated
commuter railroads and their employees. That section attempts to
resolve contract disputes between the parties through a series of
emergency board procedures with a maximum 8-month status quo period.
Section 9A is invoked only after all other procedures under the act
have been exhausted.

collective-bargaining agreements between labor and management of
various rail and air carriers are available for public inspection, by
appointment, during office hours (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation was established to develop
the potential of modern rail service in meeting the Nation's intercity
passenger transportation needs.
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) was created by
the Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, as amended (45 U.S.C. 541),
and was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia to
provide a balanced national transportation system by developing,
operating, and improving U.S. intercity rail passenger service.
Amtrak is governed by a nine-member board of directors: The Secretary
of Transportation serves as an ex officio member and Amtrak's
president serves as Chairman; three members (representing labor, State
Governors, and the business community) are appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate; two members represent
commuter authorities; and two members are selected by the preferred
stockholder. The Corporation is managed by its president along with 2
executive vice presidents, 10 vice presidents, and 3 assistant vice presidents.
Amtrak operates an average of 210 trains per day, serving over 500
station locations, over a system of approximately 24,000 route miles.
Of this route system, Amtrak now owns a right-of-way of 2,611 track
miles in the Northeast Corridor (Washington-New York-Boston; New
Haven-Springfield; Philadelphia-Harrisburg), and several small track
segments in the East, purchased pursuant to the Regional Rail
Reorganization Act of 1973 (45 U.S.C. 701 et seq.) and the Railroad
Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 (45 U.S.C. 801 et
seq.).
Amtrak owns or leases its stations and owns its own repair and
maintenance facilities. The Corporation employs a total work force of
approximately 24,000 and provides all reservation, station, and
on-board service staffs, as well as train and engine operating crews.
Outside the Northeast Corridor, Amtrak has historically contracted
with 21 privately owned railroads for the right to operate over their
track and has compensated each railroad for its total package of
services. Under contract, these railroads are responsible for the
condition of the roadbed and for coordinating the flow of traffic.
In fiscal year 1990, Amtrak transported over 22.4 million people more
than 6 billion passenger miles. In addition, under contracts with
several transit agencies, Amtrak carried over 18 million commuters.
Although Amtrak's basic route system was originally designated by the
Secretary of Transportation in 1971, modifications have been made to
the Amtrak system and to individual routes that have resulted in more
efficient and cost-effective operations. Currently, in the face of
ongoing budget constraints, new service will only be added if a State
agrees to share any losses associated with the service or if the new
service does not substantially add to Amtrak's need for Federal
assistance.
Amtrak began operation in 1971 with an antiquated fleet of equipment
inherited from private railroads; some cars were nearly 30 years old.
Since then, the fleet has been modernized and new state-of-the-art
single- and bi-level passenger cars and locomotives have been added.
Systemwide ridership is steadily rising, and Amtrak is finding it
increasingly difficult to meet the demands of increased travel
patterns with its limited passenger fleet. To ease these equipment
constraints, the Corporation is working to identify innovative funding
sources in order to acquire additional passenger cars and
locomotives.
There is no rail passenger system in the world that makes a profit;
Amtrak is no exception. However, Amtrak has made significant progress
in reducing its dependence on Federal support while at the same time
improving the quality of service. Every year Amtrak moves further
toward increasing the ratio of its earned revenue to total costs. The
Corporation has gone from covering 48 percent of its total costs in
fiscal year 1981 to 72 percent in fiscal year 1990. As a result,
Amtrak's appropriation for the current fiscal year is 57 percent below
that for fiscal year 1978 (in constant dollars). One of Amtrak's
highest priorities is to make the Corporation even more
self-sufficient in the future.

[For the National Science Foundation statement of organization, see
the Federal Register of May 29, 1990, 55 FR 21807.]
The National Science Foundation promotes the progress of science and
engineering through the support of research and education programs.
Its major emphasis is on high-quality, merit-selected research the
search for improved understanding of the fundamental laws of nature
upon which our future well-being as a nation depends. Its educational
programs are aimed at ensuring increased understanding of science and
engineering at all educational levels, maintaining an adequate supply
of scientists and engineers to meet our country's needs.
The National Science Foundation, an independent agency, was
established as an independent agency by the National Science
Foundation Act of 1950 (42 U.S.C. 1861 1875), and was given additional
authority by the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act (42
U.S.C. 1885 1885d), title I of the Education for Economic Security Act
(20 U.S.C. 3911 3922), the Academic Research Facilities Modernization
Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. 1862a 1862d), and parts of the Excellence in
Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Education Act of 1990 (20 U.S.C.
5311 5364).
The purposes of the Foundation are: to increase the Nation's base of
scientific and engineering knowledge and strengthen its ability to
conduct research in all areas of science and engineering; to develop
and help implement science and engineering education programs that can
better prepare the Nation for meeting the challenges of the future;
and to promote international cooperation through science and
engineering. In its role as a leading Federal supporter of science and
engineering, the agency also has an important role in national policy
planning.
The Foundation consists of a National Science Board and a Director.
The National Science Board is composed of 24 part-time members and the
Director ex officio. Members are appointed by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate for 6-year terms. They are selected
because of their distinguished service in science, medicine,
engineering, agriculture, education, public affairs, research
management, or industry. They are chosen in such a way as to be
representative of the scientific and engineering leadership in all
areas of the Nation.
Both the Director and the Deputy Director are appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate, the former to a
6-year term and the latter to an unspecified term.
The National Science Foundation Act assigns policymaking functions to
the National Science Board, and the administration of the Foundation
to the Director. The policies of the Board in support of science and
engineering and development of scientific and engineering personnel
are implemented throughout the various programs of the Foundation.
The Inspector General of the Foundation is appointed by the National
Science Board and, under section 8E of the Inspector General Act of
1978 (5 U.S.C. app. 3) is responsible for conducting and supervising
audits, inspections, and investigations relating to the programs and
operations of the Foundation, including allegations of misconduct in
science.
Activities
The National Science Foundation initiates and supports fundamental,
long-term, merit-selected research in all the scientific and
engineering disciplines. This support is made through grants,
contracts, and other agreements awarded to universities, university
consortia, and nonprofit and other research organizations. Most of
this research is directed toward the resolution of scientific and
engineering questions concerning fundamental life processes, natural
laws and phenomena, fundamental processes influencing the human
environment, and the forces affecting people as members of society as
well as the behavior of society as a whole.
The Foundation supports fundamental research on computing and
information processing, provides U.S. research and education
communities with advanced computing and communications capabilities,
and encourages innovative use of sophisticated computing in science
and engineering research.
The Foundation encourages cooperative efforts by universities,
industries, and government. It also promotes the application of
research and development for better products and services that improve
the quality of life, create employment opportunities, stimulate
economic growth, and increase productivity and foreign trade.
The Foundation promotes the development of research talent through
support of precollege, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well
as postdoctoral associates. It administers special programs to
identify and encourage participation by groups underrepresented in
science and technology and to strengthen research capability at
smaller institutions, small businesses, undergraduate colleges,
universities, and geographic regions.
The Foundation supports major national and international science and
engineering activities, including the U.S. Antarctic Program, the
Ocean Drilling Program, global geoscience studies, and others.
Cooperative scientific and engineering research activities support
exchange programs for American and foreign scientists and engineers,
execution of jointly designed research projects, participation in the
activities of international science and engineering organizations, and
travel to international conferences.
Support is provided through contracts and cooperative agreements with
national centers where large facilities are made available for use by
qualified scientists and engineers. Among the types of centers
supported by the Foundation are astronomy and atmospheric sciences,
biological and engineering research, science and technology,
supercomputers, and long-term ecological research sites.
The Foundation provides competitively awarded grants for repair,
renovation, or, in exceptional cases, replacement of facilities used
for research and research training at academic and nonprofit
institutions.
The Foundation's science and engineering education activities include
grants for research and development activities directed to model
instructional materials for students and teachers and the application
of advanced technologies to precollege education. Grants also are
available for precollege teacher preparation and enhancement, and
informal science education activities. At the undergraduate level,
funding is provided for college science instrumentation, course and
curriculum improvement, faculty and student activities, and minority
resource centers. In addition, studies of the status of math, science,
and engineering education are supported.
The Foundation supports research aimed at formulating national policy
through analysis of existing and emerging issues that have significant
scientific and engineering content. It defines options and supplies
analysis directed toward enhancing the contribution of science and
engineering to national goals. It also develops and disseminates
information relating to the Nation's available human and financial
resources for scientific and engineering activities.
The National Science Foundation presents annually the Alan T. Waterman
Award to an outstanding young scientist or engineer for support of
research and study. Periodically the National Science Board presents
the honorary Vannevar Bush Award to a person who, through public
service activities in science and technology, has made an outstanding
contribution toward the welfare of mankind and the Nation. The two
awards are designed to encourage individuals to seek to achieve the
Nation's objectives in scientific and engineering research and
education.
The Foundation also provides support for the President's Committee on
the National Medal of Science.

[For the National Transportation Safety Board statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Part
800]
The National Transportation Safety Board seeks to assure that all
types of transportation in the United States are conducted safely. The
Board investigates accidents, conducts studies, and makes
recommendations to Government agencies, the transportation industry,
and others on safety measures and practices.
The National Transportation Safety Board was established as an
independent agency of the Federal Government on April 1, 1975, by the
Independent Safety Board Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. app. 1901).
The Safety Board consists of five Board members appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate for 5-year terms.
The President designates two of these members as Chairman and Vice
Chairman of the Board for 2-year terms. The designation of the
Chairman is made with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The mission of the National Transportation Safety Board is to promote
transportation safety by conducting independent investigations of
accidents and other safety problems and by formulating safety
improvement recommendations.
Activities
Accident Investigation The Board is responsible for investigating,
determining probable cause, making safety recommendations, and
reporting the facts and circumstances of:
all U.S. civil aviation accidents;
all railroad accidents in which there is a fatality or substantial
property damage, or that involve a passenger train;
all pipeline accidents in which there is a fatality or substantial
property damage;
highway accidents, including railroad grade-crossing accidents, which
the Board selects in cooperation with the States;
major marine casualties, and marine accidents involving a public
vessel and a nonpublic vessel, in accordance with regulations
prescribed jointly by the Board and the U.S. Coast Guard; and
other transportation accidents that are catastrophic, involve
problems of a recurring character, or otherwise should be investigated
in the judgment of the Board.
Safety Problem Identification In addition, the Board makes
recommendations on matters pertaining to transportation safety and is
a catalyst for transportation accident prevention by conducting safety
studies and special investigations, assessing techniques of accident
investigation and publishing recommended procedures for accident
investigations, establishing regulatory requirements for reporting
accidents, evaluating the transportation safety consciousness and
efficacy of other Government agencies in the prevention of accidents,
evaluating the adequacy of safeguards and procedures concerning the
transportation of hazardous materials and the performance of other
Government agencies charged with ensuring the safe transportation of
such materials, and reporting annually to the Congress on its
activities.
Certificate or License Appeal The Board also reviews on appeal the
suspension, amendment, modification, revocation, or denial of any
certificate or license issued by the Secretary or an Administrator of
the Department of Transportation.
Inquiries may be directed to the Office of Administrative Law Judges,

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses and regulates civilian use
of nuclear energy to protect public health and safety and the
environment. This is achieved by licensing persons and companies to
build and operate nuclear reactors and other facilities and to own and
use nuclear materials. The Commission makes rules and sets standards
for these types of licenses. It also carefully inspects the activities
of the persons and companies licensed to ensure that they do not
violate the safety rules of the Commission.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission was established as an independent
regulatory agency under the provisions of the Energy Reorganization
Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5801) and Executive Order 11834 of January 15,
1975, effective January 19, 1975. Transferred to the Commission were
all licensing and related regulatory functions formerly assigned to
the Atomic Energy Commission, which was established by the Atomic
Energy Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 755), as amended by the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.).
The Commission's major program components are the Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulation, the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and
Safeguards, and the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, which were
created by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974. Headquarters offices
are located in suburban Maryland, and there are five regional
offices.
The Commission ensures that the civilian uses of nuclear materials and
facilities are conducted in a manner consistent with the public health
and safety, environmental quality, national security, and the
antitrust laws. The major share of the Commission's effort is focused
on regulating the use of nuclear energy to generate electric power.

Activities, NRC
The Commission fulfills its responsibilities through a system of
licensing and regulation that includes:
licensing the construction and operation of nuclear reactors and
other nuclear facilities and the possession, use, processing,
handling, and disposal of nuclear materials;
regulating licensed activities including assurance that measures are
taken for the physical protection of facilities and materials;
developing and implementing of rules and regulations governing licen
sed nuclear activities;
inspecting licensee facilities and activities;
investigating nuclear incidents and allegations concerning any matter
regulated by NRC;
enforcing NRC licenses and regulations by the issuance of orders,
civil penalties, and other types of actions;
conducting public hearings on nuclear and radiological safety,
environmental concerns, common defense and security, and antitrust
matters; and
developing effective working relationships with the States regarding
the regulation of nuclear materials.
This relationship includes the assurance that adequate regulatory
programs are maintained by those States that exercise, by agreement
with the Commission, regulatory control over certain nuclear materials
within their respective borders. In addition, a systematic review of
operational data, including reports of accidents and other events,
from nuclear powerplants is performed in order to detect trends that
will better enable the agency to forecast and solve safety problems.
Inspection of Commission-licensed activities is carried out from five
regional offices. In addition, resident inspectors have been assigned
to reactor sites.
The Commission also contracts for research deemed necessary for
performing licensing and related regulatory functions.

The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission works to ensure
the timely and fair resolution of cases involving the alleged exposure
of American workers to unsafe or unhealthy working conditions.
The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission is an
independent, quasi-judicial agency established by the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 651 678).
The Commission is charged with ruling on cases forwarded to it by the
Department of Labor when disagreements arise over the results of
safety and health inspections performed by the Department's
Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Employers have the
right to dispute any alleged job safety or health violation found
during the inspection by the Administration, the penalties it
proposed, and the time given by the agency to correct any hazardous
situation. Employees and representatives of employees may initiate a
case by challenging the propriety of the time the Administration has
allowed for correction of any violative condition.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act covers virtually every employer
in the country. Enforced by the Secretary of Labor, the act is an
effort to reduce the incidence of personal injuries, illness, and
deaths among working men and women in the United States that result
from their employment. It requires employers to furnish to each of
their employees employment and a place of employment free from
recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or
serious physical harm to the employees and to comply with occupational
safety and health standards promulgated under the act.
Activities
The Commission was created to adjudicate enforcement actions initiated
under the act when they are contested by employers, employees, or
representatives of employees. A case arises when a citation is issued
against an employer as the result of an Occupational Safety and Health
Administration inspection and it is contested within 15 working days.
The Commission is more of a court system than a simple tribunal, for
within the Commission there are two levels of adjudication. All cases
that require a hearing are assigned to an administrative law judge,
who decides the case. Ordinarily the hearing is held in the community
where the alleged violation occurred or as close as possible. At the
hearing, the Secretary of Labor will generally have the burden of
proving the case. After the hearing, the judge must issue a decision,
based on findings of fact and conclusions of law.
A substantial number of the decisions of the judges become final
orders of the Commission. However, each decision is subject to
discretionary review by the three members of the Commission upon the
direction of any one of the three, if done within 30 days of the
filing of the decision. When that occurs, the Commission issues its
own decision.
Once a case is decided, any person adversely affected or aggrieved
thereby may obtain a review of the decision in the United States
Courts of Appeals.
The principal office of the Commission is in Washington, DC. There are
also four regional offices where Commission judges are stationed.

The Panama Canal Commission operates, maintains, and improves the
Panama Canal to provide efficient, safe, and economical transit
service for the benefit of world commerce.
The Panama Canal Commission was established as an independent agency
by the Panama Canal Act of 1979 (22 U.S.C. 3601).
The Commission is supervised by a nine-member Board: five members who
are nationals of the United States and four members who are nationals
of the Republic of Panama. All members of the Board are appointed by
the President; the members who are United States nationals are
appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Activities
The Commission was established by Congress on October 1, 1979, to
carry out the responsibilities of the United States with respect to
the Panama Canal under the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. In fulfilling
these obligations, the Commission manages, operates, and maintains the
Canal, its complementary works, installations, and equipment, and

[For the Peace Corps statement of organization, see the Code of
Federal Regulations, Title 22, Part 302]
The Peace Corps purpose is to promote world peace and friendship, to
help other countries in meeting their needs for trained manpower, and
to help promote understanding between the American people and other
peoples served by the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps Act emphasizes the
Peace Corps' commitment toward programming to meet the basic needs of
those living in the poorest countries in which it operates.
The Peace Corps was established by the Peace Corps Act of 1961, as
amended (22 U.S.C. 2501), and was made an independent agency by title
VI of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of
1981 (22 U.S.C. 2501 1).
The Peace Corps consists of a Washington, DC, headquarters; 16 area
recruitment offices; and overseas operations in more than 70
countries. Its presence in foreign countries fluctuates as programs
are added or withdrawn.
Activities
To fulfill the Peace Corps mandate, men and women are trained for a 9-
to 14-week period in the appropriate local language, the technical
skills necessary for their particular job, and the cross-cultural
skills needed to adjust to a society with traditions and attitudes
different from their own. Volunteers serve for a period of 2 years,
living among the people with whom they work. Volunteers are expected
to become a part of the community and to demonstrate, through their
voluntary service, that people can be an important impetus for
change.
Thousands of volunteers serve throughout Latin America, Africa, the
Near East, Asia, the Pacific, and Eastern Europe and work in six
program areas, including: education, agriculture, health, small
business development, urban development, and the environment. Projects
are designed to match the skills and community-level approach of the
volunteers with the resources of host-country agencies and other
international assistance organizations to help solve specific
development problems, often in conjunction with private volunteer
organizations.
In the United States, the Peace Corps is working to promote an
understanding of peoples in other countries. Through a new program
called World Wise Schools, volunteers are matched with elementary and
junior high schools in the United States to encourage an exchange of
letters, pictures, music, and artifacts. Participating students
increase their knowledge of geography, languages, and different
cultures, as well as gain an appreciation for volunteerism.
The Peace Corps offers an education initiative which involves former
volunteers, universities, local public school systems, and private
businesses and foundations in a partnership to help solve some of our
most serious domestic problems. It is working to implement this
initiative throughout the United States.
To help support efforts such as World Wise Schools, the Fellows/U.S.A
. program, and community needs overseas, the Peace Corps Office of
Private Sector Relations works with schools, civic groups, businesses,
and neighborhood and youth organizations in the United States to
facilitate their support of Peace Corps initiatives here and abroad.

The Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation is a Federal agency
charged with responsibility for revitalizing Pennsylvania Avenue
between the White House and the Capitol. A comprehensive plan,
prepared by the agency and approved by Congress in 1975, guides
development in a 21-block section of Pennsylvania Avenue and the
adjacent blocks north of the avenue.
The Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation was established as a
wholly owned Federal corporation by act of October 27, 1972, as
amended (40 U.S.C. 871 et seq.).
The Corporation is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors. Eight
members are appointed by the President from the private sector for
6-year terms; seven serve by virtue of their positions in the Federal
or District of Columbia Governments. There also are eight nonvoting
members representing Federal and District organizations with expertise
in cultural, planning, and architectural matters.
Activities
The Corporation's activities to revitalize Pennsylvania Avenue take
two forms. First, using funds appropriated by Congress, the
Corporation undertakes projects which improve the public areas and
ambience of Pennsylvania Avenue. These projects include repaving and
landscaping the Avenue and adjacent areas, facilitating traffic
patterns, and preserving the designated historic landmarks. It also
has completed five parks and open spaces along the Avenue and sponsors
people-oriented activities within the area.
The second part of the Corporation's activity involves a partnership
with the private sector to develop projects compatible with the
Pennsylvania Avenue Plan. It uses funds borrowed from the United
States Treasury to assemble land for housing, office buildings, retail
uses, hotels, and community arts space. It makes public offerings of
development opportunities on sites, and either sells the property or
enters into long-term leases with developers selected to carry out
individual projects. The proceeds from the leases or sales are used to
retire the agency's debt to the Treasury.
In carrying out the plan, the Corporation works closely with a number
of Federal agencies, including the Commission of Fine Arts, the
National Capital Planning Commission, the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, and the National Park Service. It also works closely in
the implementation of the plan with relevant agencies of the District
of Columbia government.
In 1987 the Congress enacted and the President signed the Federal
Triangle Development Act. The act gave the Corporation the authority
to plan and implement, in consultation with the General Services
Administration and the International Cultural Trade Center Commission,
the development of a 3.1-million-square-foot complex to include the
Center and Federal office space.
Sources of Information
Publications The Pennsylvania Avenue Plan (1974), as approved by Con
gress in May 1975, and Amendments to the Pennsylvania Avenue Plan
(November 1990) describes the program for comprehensive revitalization
of the designated area. Copies of these documents, as well as the
Corporation's annual report and other supplementary materials, are
available upon request.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation guarantees payment of
nonforfeitable pension benefits in covered private sector-defined
benefit pension plans.
Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29
U.S.C. 1301 1461) established the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation, which is a self-financing, wholly owned Government
corporation subject to the provisions of the Government Corporation
Control Act (31 U.S.C. 9101 9109). The Corporation is governed by a
Board of Directors consisting of the Secretaries of Labor, Commerce,
and the Treasury. The Secretary of Labor is Chairman of the Board. A
seven-member Advisory Committee, composed of two labor, two business,
and three public members appointed by the President, advises the
agency on various matters.
Activities
Coverage Title IV provides for coverage of most private sector-defined
benefit pension plans that provide a benefit based on factors such as
age, years of service, and average or highest salary.
The Corporation administers two benefit insurance programs separately
covering single-employer and multiemployer plans. Nearly 40 million
workers participate in approximately 95,000 covered plans.
Single-Employer Insurance Under the single-employer program, the
Corporation guarantees payment of a covered plan's nonforfeitable
benefits if that plan terminates without sufficient assets to pay
those guaranteed benefits. However, title IV limits the total monthly
benefit that the agency may guarantee for one individual to $2,250 per
month for a plan terminating during 1991, and requires that it
guarantee recent benefit increases on a phased-in basis. Under the
1987 amendments to title IV, the Corporation also pays a portion of
the benefits above the guaranteed amount, based on the percentage of
the value of its recovery of termination liability.
A plan administrator may terminate a single-employer plan in a
``standard'' or ``distress'' termination if certain procedural and
legal requirements are met. In either termination, the plan
administrator must inform participants in writing at least 60 days
prior to the date the administrator proposes to terminate the plan.
Only a plan which has sufficient assets to fund all benefit
liabilities may terminate in a standard termination. The Corporation
also may institute termination proceedings upon the occurrence of
certain events specified in title IV.
Multiemployer Insurance Under title IV, as originally enacted, the
Corporation guaranteed nonforfeitable benefits for multiemployer plans
in a similar fashion as for single-employer plans. However, until
August 1, 1980, the payment of guaranteed benefits under multiemployer
plans was at the agency's discretion.
The Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 revised title IV
as applicable to multiemployer pension plans by changing the insurable
event from plan termination to plan insolvency. In accordance with the
act, the Corporation provides financial assistance to plans that are
unable to pay nonforfeitable benefits. The plans are obligated to
repay such assistance. The act also made employers withdrawing from a
plan liable to the plan for a portion of its unfunded vested
benefits.
Premium Collections All defined benefit pension plans covered by title
IV of Employee Retirement Income Security Act are required to pay
premiums under prescribed rates to the Corporation. The annual premium
per plan participant for multiemployer pension plans is $2.60 for plan
years beginning after September 26, 1988. As of January 1, 1991, the
basic premium for all single-employer plans was $19 per participant
per year. Single-employer plans must also pay an additional premium
equal to $9 per $1,000 of unfunded nonforfeitable benefits. The total
single-employer premium is capped at $72 per participant.

The Resolution Trust Corporation was established to manage and resolve
failed savings associations that were insured by the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corporation before the enactment of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, and for
which a conservator or receiver is appointed between January 1, 1989,
and August 9, 1992.
The Resolution Trust Corporation (Corporation) was established on
August 9, 1989, by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 (12 U.S.C. 1441a). The Corporation will
terminate all functions no later than December 31, 1996.
The Corporation is an agency of the United States for purposes of
subchapter II, chapters 5 and 7, of title 5 of the United States Code,
when it is acting as a corporation. When the Corporation is acting as
a conservator or receiver of an insured depository institution, it is
deemed to be a Federal agency to the same extent as the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation when acting in the same capacity.
The Corporation is a mixed-ownership Government corporation for
purposes of 31 U.S.C. 9105, 9107, and 9108, notwithstanding the fact
that no Federal funds are permitted to be invested in the
Corporation.
The Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation serve as the Board of Directors and Chairperson
of the Resolution Trust Corporation. The Corporation has no employees
of its own, but the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is
authorized to perform all the responsibilities of the Corporation.
Under the general supervision of the Oversight Board and through the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the duties of the Corporation
include:
managing and resolving all cases involving depository institutions,
the accounts of which were insured by the former Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation prior to August 9, 1989, and which have
been or will be in conservatorship or receivership as of January 1,
1989, through August 9, 1992;
conducting the operations of the Corporation in such a way as to
maximize the return of value from the sale or other disposition of
depository institutions or their assets, while minimizing the impact
on real estate and financial markets and minimizing losses to the
Government;
making efficient use of funds provided by the Resolution Funding
Corporation or the Treasury; and
maximizing the availability and affordability of residential real
property for low- and moderate-income individuals.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
The Securities and Exchange Commission administers Federal securities
laws that seek to provide protection for investors; to ensure that
securities markets are fair and honest; and, when necessary, to
provide the means to enforce securities laws through sanctions.
The Securities and Exchange Commission was created under authority of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a 78jj) and was
organized on July 2, 1934. The Commission serves as adviser to United
States district courts in connection with reorganization proceedings
for debtor corporations in which there is a substantial public
interest. The Commission also has certain responsibilities under
section 15 of the Bretton Woods Agreements Act of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 286k
1) and section 851(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C.
851(e)).
The Commission is vested with quasi-judicial functions. Persons
aggrieved by its decisions in the exercise of those functions have a
right of review by the United States Courts of Appeals.
Activities
Full and Fair Disclosure The Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a)
requires issuers of securities and their controlling persons making
public offerings of securities in interstate commerce or through the
mails, directly or by others on their behalf, to file with the
Commission registration statements containing financial and other
pertinent data about the issuer and the securities being offered. It
is unlawful to sell such securities unless a registration statement is
in effect. There are limited exemptions, such as Government
securities, nonpublic offerings, and intrastate offerings, as well as
certain offerings not exceeding $1,500,000. The effectiveness of a
registration statement may be refused or suspended after a public
hearing if the statement contains material misstatements or omissions,
thus barring sale of the securities until it is appropriately amended.
Registration of securities does not imply approval of the issue by the
Commission or that the Commission has found the registration
disclosures to be accurate. It does not insure investors against loss
in their purchase, but serves rather to provide information upon which
investors may make an informed and realistic evaluation of the worth
of the securities.
Persons responsible for filing false information with the Commission
subject themselves to the risk of fine or imprisonment or both, and
persons connected with the public offering may be liable in damages to
purchasers of the securities if the disclosures in the registration
statement and prospectus are materially defective. Also, the above act
contains antifraud provisions that apply generally to the sale of
securities, whether or not registered (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.).
Regulation of Securities Markets The Securities Exchange Act of 1934
assigns to the Commission broad regulatory responsibilities over the
securities markets, the self-regulatory organizations within the
securities industry, and persons conducting a business in securities.
Persons who execute transactions in securities generally are required
to register with the Commission as broker-dealers. Securities
exchanges and certain clearing agencies are required to register with
the Commission, and associations of brokers or dealers are permitted
to register with the Commission. The act also provides for the
establishment of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board to
formulate rules for the municipal securities industry.
The Commission oversees the self-regulatory activities of the national
securities exchanges and associations, registered clearing agencies,
and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. In addition, the
Commission regulates industry professionals, such as securities
brokers and dealers, certain municipal securities professionals,
government securities brokers and dealers, and transfer agents.
The act authorizes national securities exchanges, national securities
associations, clearing agencies, and the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board to adopt rules that are designed, among other things,
to promote just and equitable principles of trade and to protect
investors. The Commission is required to approve or disapprove most
proposed rules of these self-regulatory organizations and has the
power to abrogate or amend existing rules of the national securities
exchanges, national securities associations, and the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board.
In addition, the Commission has broad rulemaking authority over the
activities of brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers,
securities information processors, and transfer agents. The Commission
may regulate such securities trading practices as short sales and
stabilizing transactions. It may regulate the trading of options on
national securities exchanges and the activities of members of
exchanges who trade on the trading floors. The Commission may adopt
rules governing broker-dealer sales practices in dealing with
investors. The Commission also is authorized to adopt rules concerning
the financial responsibility of brokers and dealers and reports made
by them.
The act also requires the filing of registration statements and annual
and other reports with national securities exchanges and the
Commission by companies whose securities are listed upon the
exchanges, and by companies that have assets of $5 million or more and
500 or more shareholders of record. In addition, companies that
distributed securities pursuant to a registration statement declared
effective by the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 must also
file annual and other reports with the Commission. Such applications
and reports must contain financial and other data prescribed by the
Commission as necessary or appropriate for the protection of investors
and to ensure fair dealing. In addition, the solicitation of proxies,
authorizations, or consents from holders of such registered securities
must be made in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by
the Commission. These rules provide for disclosures to securities
holders of information relevant to the subject matter of the
solicitation.
Disclosure of the holdings and transactions by officers, directors,
and large (10-percent) holders of equity securities of companies also
is required, and any and all persons who acquire more than 5 percent
of certain equity securities are required to file detailed information
with the Commission and any exchange upon which such securities may be
traded. Moreover, any person making a tender offer for certain classes
of equity securities is required to file reports with the Commission
if, as a result of the tender offer, such person would own more than 5
percent of the outstanding shares of the particular class of equity
security involved. The Commission also is authorized to promulgate
rules governing the repurchase by a corporate issuer of its own
securities.
Regulation of Mutual Funds and Other Investment Companies The
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a 1 80a 64) requires
investment companies to register with the Commission and regulates
their activities to protect investors. The regulation covers sales
load, management contracts, composition of boards of directors, and
capital structure.
The act prohibits investment companies from engaging in various
transactions, including transactions with affiliated persons, unless
the Commission first determines that such transactions are fair. In
addition, the act provides a somewhat parallel but less stringent
regulation of business development companies.
Under the act, the Commission may institute court action to enjoin the
consummation of mergers and other plans of reorganization of
investment companies if such plans are unfair to security holders. It
also may impose sanctions by administrative proceedings against
investment company management for violations of the act and other
Federal securities laws and file court actions to enjoin acts and
practices of management officials involving breaches of fiduciary duty
and personal misconduct and to disqualify such officials from office.
Regulation of Companies Controlling Utilities The Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935 (15 U.S.C. 79 79z 6) provides for
regulation by the Commission of the purchase and sale of securities
and assets by companies in electric and gas utility holding company
systems, their intrasystem transactions and service and management
arrangements. It limits holding companies to a single coordinated
utility system and requires simplification of complex corporate and
capital structures and elimination of unfair distribution of voting
power among holders of system securities.
The issuance and sale of securities by holding companies and their
subsidiaries, unless exempt (subject to conditions and terms that the
Commission is empowered to impose) as an issue expressly authorized by
the State commission in the State in which the issuer is incorporated,
must be found by the Commission to meet certain statutory standards.
The purchase and sale of utility properties and other assets may not
be made in contravention of rules, regulations, or orders of the
Commission regarding the consideration to be received, maintenance of
competitive conditions, fees and commissions, accounts, disclosure of
interest, and similar matters. In passing upon proposals for
reorganization, merger, or consolidation, the Commission must be
satisfied that the objectives of the act generally are complied with
and that the terms of the proposal are fair and equitable to all
classes of security holders affected.
Regulation of Investment Advisers The Investment Advisers Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80b 1 80b 21) provides that persons who, for compensation,
engage in the business of advising others with respect to securities
must register with the Commission. The act prohibits certain fee
arrangements, makes fraudulent or deceptive practices on the part of
investment advisers unlawful, and requires, among other things,
disclosure of any adverse personal interests the advisers may have in
transactions that they effect for clients. The act authorizes the
Commission, by rule, to define fraudulent and deceptive practices and
prescribe means to prevent those practices.
Rehabilitation of Failing Corporations Chapter 11, section 1109(a), of
the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. 1109) provides for Commission
participation as a statutory party in corporate reorganization
proceedings administered in Federal courts. The principal functions of
the Commission are to protect the interests of public investors
involved in such cases through efforts to ensure their adequate
representation, and to participate in legal and policy issues that are
of concern to public investors generally.
Representation of Debt Securities Holders The interests of purchasers
of publicly offered debt securities issued pursuant to trust
indentures are safeguarded under the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa 77bbbb). This act, among other things,
requires the exclusion from such indentures of certain types of
exculpatory clauses and the inclusion of certain protective
provisions. The independence of the indenture trustee, who is a
representative of the debt holder, is assured by proscribing certain
relationships that might conflict with the proper exercise of his
duties (15 U.S.C. 77aaa 77bbbb).
Enforcement Activities The Commission's enforcement activities are
designed to secure compliance with the Federal securities laws
administered by the Commission and the rules and regulations adopted
thereunder. These activities include measures to:
compel obedience to the disclosure requirements of the registration
and other provisions of the acts;
prevent fraud and deception in the purchase and sale of securities;
obtain court orders enjoining acts and practices that operate as a
fraud upon investors or otherwise violate the laws;
suspend or revoke the registrations of brokers, dealers, and
investment companies and investment advisers who willfully engage in
such acts and practices;
suspend or bar from association persons associated with brokers,
dealers, investment companies and investment advisers who have
violated any provision of the Federal securities laws; and
prosecute persons who have engaged in fraudulent activities or other
willful violations of those laws.
In addition, attorneys, accountants, and other professionals who
violate the securities laws face possible loss of their privilege to
practice before the Commission.
To this end, private investigations are conducted into complaints or
other indications of securities violations. Evidence thus established
of law violations is used in appropriate administrative proceedings to
revoke registration or in actions instituted in Federal courts to
restrain or enjoin such activities. Where the evidence tends to
establish criminal fraud or other willful violation of the securities
laws, the facts are referred to the Attorney General for criminal
prosecution of the offenders. The Commission may assist in such
prosecutions.

The purpose of the Selective Service System is to be prepared to
supply to the Armed Forces human resources adequate to ensure the
security of the United States, with concomitant regard for the
maintenance of an effective national economy.10
The Selective Service System was established by the Military Selective
Service Act (50 U.S.C. app. 451 471a). The act authorizes the
registration of male citizens of the United States and all other male
persons who are in the United States and who are between the ages of
18 to 26 years. The act exempts members of the active Armed Forces and
foreign diplomatic and consular personnel from registration and
liability for training and service. Likewise exempted are nonimmigrant
aliens. Proclamation 4771 of July 2, 1980, requires male persons born
after January 1, 1960, and who have attained age 18 to register.
Registration is conducted at post offices within the United States and
at United States Embassies and consulates outside the United States.
The act imposes liability for training and service in the Armed Forces
upon registrants who are between the ages of 18 \1/2\ years to 26
years, except those who are exempted or deferred. Persons who have
been deferred remain liable for training and service until age 35.
Aliens are not liable for training and service until they have
remained in the United States for more than 1 year. Conscientious
objectors who are found to be opposed to any service in the Armed
Forces are required to perform civilian work in lieu of induction into
the Armed Forces.
The authority to induct registrants, including doctors and allied
medical specialists, expired July 1, 1973.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
The fundamental purposes of the Small Business Administration are to
aid, counsel, assist, and protect the interests of small business;
ensure that small business concerns receive a fair portion of
Government purchases, contracts, and subcontracts, as well as of the
sales of Government property; make loans to small business concerns,
State and local development companies, and the victims of floods or
other catastrophes, or of certain types of economic injury; and
license, regulate, and make loans to small business investment
companies.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) was created by the Small
Business Act of 1953 and derives its present existence and authority
from the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.). It also derives
its authority from the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 (15
U.S.C. 661). The Secretary of Commerce has delegated to the
Administration certain responsibilities and functions under section
202 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (42
U.S.C. 3142) and is further authorized to delegate to the
Administrator certain responsibilities and functions under chapter 3
of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2101).
Activities
Financial Assistance The Administration provides guaranteed, direct,
or immediate participation loans to small business concerns to help
them finance plant construction, conversion, or expansion; and acquire
equipment, facilities, machinery, supplies, or materials. It also
provides them with working capital. Since enactment of the act of June
4, 1976 (90 Stat. 663), farming enterprises are included within the
term ``small business concerns.''
The Administration is authorized to make direct loans to handicapped
individuals and nonprofit organizations employing the handicapped in
the production of goods or services. Direct loans are also available
to Vietnam and disabled veterans and to eligible section 8(a)
contractors. The Administration may provide loans to finance
residential or commercial construction or rehabilitation for sale;
loans to small business concerns located in urban or rural areas with
high proportions of unemployed or low-income individuals or owned by
low-income individuals; extensions and revolving lines of credit for
export purposes to enable small business concerns to develop foreign
markets and obtain pre-export financing; and guarantee loans to
qualified employee trusts with respect to small business concerns. The
Administration may finance small firms that manufacture, sell,
install, service, or develop specific energy measures including
engineering, architectural, consulting, or other professional services
connected with eligible energy measures.
Under provisions of sections 501 504 of the Small Business Investment
Act (15 U.S.C. 695, 696), loans are made to State and local
development companies, which, in turn, assist small business concerns.
For further information, contact the Office of Financial Assistance.
Phone, 202 205 6497.
Disaster Assistance The Administration also lends money to help the
victims of floods, riots, or other catastrophes repair or replace most
disaster-damaged property. Direct loans with subsidized interest rates
are made to assist small businesses and small agricultural
cooperatives without credit elsewhere that have sustained substantial
economic injury resulting from natural disasters.
For further information, contact the Office of Disaster Assistance.
Phone, 202 205 6734.
Investment The Administration licenses, regulates, and provides
financial assistance to small business investment companies, and
section 301(d) licensees (formerly minority enterprise small business
investment companies). The sole function of these investment companies
is to provide venture capital in the form of equity financing,
long-term loan funds, and management services to small business
concerns.
For further information, contact the Investment Division. Phone, 202
205 6510.
Surety Bonds Through its Surety Bond Guarantee Program, the
Administration helps to make the contract bonding process accessible
to small and emerging contractors who find bonding unavailable. It
will guarantee to reimburse a qualified surety up to 90 percent of
losses incurred under bid, payment, or performance bonds issued to
small contractors on contracts valued up to $1.25 million. The
contracts may be for construction, supplies, manufacturing, or
services provided by either a prime or subcontractor for governmental
or nongovernmental work.
For further information, contact the Office of Surety Guarantee.
Phone, 202 205 6540.
Procurement Assistance The Administration works closely with
purchasing agencies of the Federal Government and with the Nation's
leading contractors in developing policies and procedures that will
increase the number of contracts going to small business.
The Administration provides a wide range of services to small firms to
help them obtain and fulfill Government contracts and subcontracts. It
sets aside suitable Government purchases for competitive award to
small business concerns and provides an appeal procedure for a
low-bidding small firm whose ability to perform a contract is
questioned by the contracting officer. The Administration develops
subcontract opportunities for small businesses by maintaining close
contact with prime contractors and referring qualified small firms to
them. It cooperates with Federal agencies in setting procurement goals
for small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and small
women-owned businesses for prime contracts and subcontracts.
The Administration maintains a computerized small business source
referral system that provides qualified sources for Federal Government
and large business procurements. It cooperates with Government
agencies in ensuring that small firms have an opportunity to procure a
fair share of Government property, such as timber, royalty oil,
strategic materials, and mineral leases, that is sold to the private
sector. The Administration also works with Federal agencies to ensure
that small firms have a fair opportunity to acquire surplus Government
property.
For further information, contact the Office of Procurement Assistance.
Phone, 202 205 6460.
Business Development The Administration develops and cosponsors
courses and conferences, prepares informational leaflets and booklets,
and encourages research into the operations of small business
concerns. It counsels and conducts management workshops and courses
for established as well as prospective businesspersons, and enlists
the volunteer aid of retired and active executives in assisting small
businesses with management and technical services. Also, it contracts
with college and university schools of business for counseling
services by qualified students.
For further information, contact the Office of Business Development.
Phone, 202 205 6665.
Minority Small Business Development Sections 7(j) and 8(a) of the
Small Business Act provide the authority for the Minority Small
Business and Capital Ownership Development Program. The Development
Program is a multi-faceted program designed to promote business
ownership by socially and economically disadvantaged persons. Its
components include the 8(a) program, the 7(j) management and technical
assistance program, and the minority outreach program.
Participation in the 8(a) program is available to small businesses
that are at least 51 percent unconditionally owned, controlled, and
managed by one or more individuals determined by SBA to be socially
and economically disadvantaged. In order to gain approval for
participation in the 8(a) program, the firms must sell goods and/or
services that the Federal Government purchases, and demonstrate the
potential for successful business development.
Program participants receive a wide variety of services from SBA
including management and technical assistance, loans, and Federal
contracts. Under 8(a) program authority, SBA contracts with Federal
Government entities to provide goods and services and, in turn,
subcontracts the performance of these contracts to 8(a) program
participants.
Information regarding the program and 8(a) program applications are
provided by SBA's district offices. The Administration's Division of
Program Certification and Eligibility addresses issues related to 8(a)
program eligibility. The Division of Program Development handles
matters related to 8(a) contract awards and the business development
of 8(a) participant firms.
Under section 7(j) program authority, SBA provides management and
technical assistance to section 8(a) program participants, other
socially and economically disadvantaged persons, and those businesses
operating in low- income or high-unemployment areas. The
Administration enters into cooperative agreements and contracts with
qualified organizations and individuals, including businesses, State
and local governments, educational institutions, Indian tribes, and
nonprofit organizations to provide this assistance. At the local
level, services are provided on a one-to-one basis in the areas of
bookkeeping and accounting services, production, engineering and
technical advice, feasibility studies, marketing analysis and
advertising expertise, legal services, and specialized management
training. At the regional and national levels, SBA funds innovative
programs to provide for services in such areas as transition
management for 8(a) firms, competitive marketing strategies,
financing, comprehensive business plans, and financial management
services. The Administration's Division of Management and Technical
Assistance administers the 7(j) program.
The minority outreach program provides a broad range of assistance to
firms owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals by
providing information and networking opportunities through a variety
of programs. The Administration has combined its efforts with those of
private industry, banks, local communities, and other Federal agencies
to provide this assistance. The Administration's outreach efforts
include publishing a newsletter, entering into cooperative agreements
with major corporations to establish an information network with SBA
regarding contracting opportunities for firms owned by disadvantaged
individuals. The network would provide an electronic bulletin board to
disseminate information about potential Federal and private sector
contracting opportunities, and would sponsor numerous events designed
to foster business development for economically disadvantaged firms.
The Division of Minority Small Business Outreach, working in
conjunction with other program divisions, is responsible for the
Administration's outreach efforts.
For further information, contact the Office of Minority Small Business
and Capital Ownership Development. Phone, 202 205 6410.
Advocacy The Office of Advocacy evaluates the impact on small
businesses of legislative proposals and other public policy issues by
preparing policy papers and by conducting research having an impact on
small business. The Office conducts economic and statistical research
into matters affecting the competitive strength of small business. The

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Women's Business Ownership The Women's Business Ownership Program,
with a constituency of more than 4.5 million women business owners
generating over $81 billion in gross receipts, was formed to implement
a national policy to support women entrepreneurs. It operates under
the authority and mandate of Executive Order 12138 of May 18, 1979,
and the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631). Its functions are carried
out by the Office of Women's Business Ownership and their network of
district and regional representatives.
The Office develops and coordinates a national program to increase the
strength, profitability, and visibility of women-owned businesses
while making maximum use of existing government and private-sector
resources. It provides advice, assistance, and support to the
Interagency Committee on Women's Business Enterprise in fulfilling its
mandate to promote, coordinate, and monitor the efforts of the Federal
Government to establish, preserve, and strengthen women-owned
businesses. It serves as principal liaison with non-Federal business,
educational organizations, and community resources to assist the
growth and development of women-owned businesses.
The Office develops and recommends national pilot programs in the
private sector to provide training and counseling in the initiation,
management, and financing of women-owned businesses. It encourages
access to capital formation through trade organizations and management
consultants who provide financial education and counseling tailored to
the needs of women business owners. The Office seeks out and adapts
existing small business skills development programs to the needs of
potential and actual women business owners and encourages delivery
through existing private-sector organizations, SCORE, ACE, and SBA
regional and district offices throughout the country.
The Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 (15 U.S.C. 631 note)
provides $10 million for demonstration projects over a 3-year period
and a guaranteed loan program for loans not exceeding $50,000. It also
established a National Women's Business Council, whose mission is to
submit annual recommendations to the President and Congress on ways to
improve opportunities for women-owned businesses, and to develop a
long-range strategy for supporting such businesses.
In addition, the Office is responsible for negotiating with Federal
agencies to set annual Governmentwide goals to increase Federal prime
contracts with women-owned businesses. It is responsible for
increasing and monitoring the number of women in the
Administration-operated Procurement Automated Source System from which
Government agencies and major corporations extract profiles of
potential bidders.
To accomplish this mainstreaming approach, the Office cooperates with
existing Administration programs to develop, implement, and evaluate
all activities to ensure equal access for women business owners.
For further information, contact the Office of Women's Business
Ownership. Phone, 202 205 6673.
Veterans Affairs The main objective of the Veterans Affairs progra
m is to advocate for assistance to veterans in business or those who
wish to start businesses. The Office of Veterans Affairs monitors and
reviews the Administration's financial, procurement, and management
assistance programs for ``special consideration'' for veterans. These
efforts include the development and implementation of procurement and
other specialized training, consultant services, and conferences
tailored to the special needs of veterans. The Office also maintains
liaison with Federal agencies, State and local governments, and
private organizations to ensure maximum use of existing programs to
assist veterans, and it advocates new and more effective programs to
benefit veteran small business.
For further information, contact the Office of Veterans Affairs.
Phone, 202 205 6773.
Private-Sector Initiatives The major objective of the private-sector
initiatives program is to utilize the private sector to obtain maximum
leverage from all programs in achieving agency goals and in meeting
the needs of the small business community. The Office of Private
Sector Initiatives serves as a focal point within the agency to foster
and coordinate those elements of agency programs involving partnership
with the private sector. The Office solicits maximum cooperation from
State and local government entities in all agency program efforts in
order to utilize local initiatives to the fullest and avoid costly
duplication. The Office proposes legislative initiatives aimed toward
increasing private-sector involvement in small business assistance and
other agency programs.
For further information, contact the Office of Private Sector
Initiatives. Phone, 202 205 6730.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Innovation, Research and Technology The Office of Innovation, Research
and Technology has authority and responsibility for coordinating and
monitoring the governmentwide activities of the Small Business
Innovation Research Program. In accordance with the Small Business
Innovation Development Act of 1982, as amended (15 U.S.C. 631 note),
the Office develops and issues policy directives for the general
conduct of the programs within the Federal Government and maintains a
source file and information program to provide each interested and
qualified small business concern with opportunities to compete for
program awards. The Office also coordinates with each participating
Federal agency in developing a master release schedule of all program
solicitations; publishes the Presolicitation Announcement quarterly,
which contains pertinent facts on upcoming solicitations; and surveys
and monitors program operations within the Federal Government and
reports on the progress of the program each year to Congress.
The program has four main objectives: to stimulate technology
innovation, use small business concerns to meet Federal research and
development needs, encourage participation by minority and
disadvantaged persons in technological innovation, and increase
private-sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal
research and development.
For further information, contact the Office of Innovation, Research
and Technology. Phone, 202 205 6450.
International Trade The Office of International Trade develops and
recommends agency policy regarding the International Trade Program. To
this end, the Office develops plans, operating procedures, and
standards to effectively strengthen and improve the agency's
International Trade Program for small business; develops new methods
and techniques for assisting small businesses entering international
markets; and plans, develops, and implements programs to encourage
small business participation in international trade. To assure that
adequate consideration is given to small business interests in the
Federal Government's export expansion program, the Office coordinates
the Administration's International Trade Program with the Departments
of Commerce and Agriculture, the Export-Import Bank of the United
States, the Agency for International Development, and with other
Federal and State agencies and private organizations concerned with
international trade.
The Office also develops programs in cooperation with operating units
of the Department of Commerce and other Federal and State agencies to
assure that small businesses will be afforded maximum opportunities
and benefits from participation in trade shows, fairs, and missions,
and other domestic and overseas export development activities.
For further information, contact the Office of International Trade.
Phone, 202 205 6720.

note). It establishes standards for the selection and performance of
Centers; develops alternative forms of Centers involving State
governmental bodies and private, nonprofit organizations; and
implements new approaches to improve operations of existing Centers.
The Office is responsible for coordinating program efforts with other
internal activities of the Administration as well as with the
activities of other Federal agencies, and maintains liaison with other
Federal, State, and local agencies and private organizations whose
activities relate to Small Business Development Centers. It also
assesses the impact on the program of substantive developments in
programs and policies in other areas of the agency, in other
government agencies, and in the private sector.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is a Government-owned corporation that
conducts a unified program of resource development for the advancement
of economic growth in the Tennessee Valley region. The Authority's
program of activities includes flood control, navigation development,
electric power production, fertilizer development, recreation
improvement, and forestry and wildlife development. While its power
program is financially self-supporting, other programs are financed
primarily by appropriations from Congress.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporation created by act of May
18, 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831 831dd). All functions of the Authority are
vested in its Board of Directors, the members of which are appointed
by the President with the consent of the Senate. Offices of the Board
and General Manager are in Knoxville, TN.
The Authority is wholly owned by the U.S. Government. While its
electric power program is required to be financially self-supporting,
other programs are financed primarily by appropriations.
A system of dams built by the Authority on the Tennessee River and its
larger tributaries provides flood regulation on the Tennessee and
contributes to regulation of the lower Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
The system maintains a continuous 9-foot-draft channel for navigation
for the length of the 650-mile Tennessee River main stream, from
Paducah, KY, to Knoxville, TN. The dams harness the power of the
rivers to produce electricity. They also provide other benefits,
including a major asset for outdoor recreation.
The Authority operates the river control system and provides
assistance to State and local governments in reducing local flood
problems. It also works with cooperating agencies to encourage full

and cooperative electric systems serving customers in parts of seven
States. It supplies power to several Federal installations and
industries whose power requirements are large or unusual. Power to
meet these demands is supplied from dams, coal-fired powerplants,
nuclear powerplants, combustion turbine installations, and a
pumped-storage hydroelectric project operated by the Authority, U.S.
Corps of Engineers dams in the Cumberland Valley; and Aluminum Company
of America dams, whose operation is coordinated with the Authority's
system.
In economic and community development programs, the Authority provides
technical assistance in areas including industrial development,
regional waste management, tourism promotion, community preparedness,
and vanpool organization. It works with local communities and groups
to develop maximum use of available area resources. Working with
regional learning centers, businesses, and industries, the agency has
identified skills that are needed in the high-technology job market
and has set up training centers.
At Muscle Shoals, AL, the Authority operates a national laboratory for
development of new and improved fertilizers and processes. Research
results are made available to industry. Fertilizers produced in the
demonstration facilities are distributed for use in research and
educational programs, principally farm test-demonstrations and
demonstrations conducted through cooperative and wholesale fertilizer
distributors. It also conducts a major bioenergy research program.
In cooperation with other agencies, the Authority conducts research
and development programs in forestry, fish and game, watershed
protection, health services related to its operations, and economic
development of Tennessee Valley communities.

chart]
The United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency formulates and
implements arms control and disarmament policies that will promote the
national security of the United States and its relations with other
countries. At present, to effectively carry out its responsibilities,
it prepares and participates in discussions and negotiations with the
Soviet Union and other countries on such issues as strategic arms
limitations, conventional force reductions in Europe, prevention of
the spread of nuclear weapons to countries that do not now possess
them, prohibition on chemical weapons, and the international arms
trade.
The United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency was established
by act of September 26, 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2561), in response to
congressional feeling that our country's arms control and disarmament
policy could best be formed and carried out in a manner promoting the
national security by a central organization charged by law with
primary responsibility for arms control and disarmament.
Activities
The Agency conducts studies and provides advice relating to arms
control and disarmament policy formulation; prepares for and manages
United States participation in international negotiations in the arms
control and disarmament field; disseminates and coordinates public
information about arms control and disarmament; and prepares for,
operates, or directs, as needed, U.S. participation in international
control systems that may result from United States arms control or
disarmament activities.
In addition to directing the Agency activities as described above, the
Director functions as the principal adviser to the President, the
National Security Council, and the Secretary of State in arms control
and disarmament matters. Under the direction of the Secretary of
State, the Director also has primary responsibility within the
Government for such matters.
In support of its activities, the Agency conducts research and studies
or, through contracts and agreements, makes arrangements for their
conduct by private or public institutions or persons. It also
coordinates such efforts by or for other Government agencies, and
analyzes selected defense programs for their arms control
implications.
The Arms Control and Disarmament Act also provides for the
establishment of a General Advisory Committee, not to exceed 15
members, appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the
Senate, to advise the President, the Secretary of State, and the
Director of the Agency on matters affecting arms control, disarmament,
and world peace.

UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY
The United States Information Agency (USIA) is responsible for the
U.S. Government's overseas information and cultural programs,
including the Voice of America. The Agency, which is known overseas as
the U.S. Information Service, conducts a wide variety of communication
activities from academic and cultural exchanges to press, radio,
television, film, seminar, library, and cultural center programs
abroad in order to strengthen foreign understanding of American
society, obtain greater support of U.S. policies, and increase
understanding between the United States and other countries. The
Agency reports to the President and the Secretary of State on
worldwide public opinion as it is relevant to the formulation and
conduct of U.S. foreign policy.
The legislative mandates of the United States Information Agency
derives from the United States Information and Educational Exchange
Act of 1948 (22 U.S.C. 1431), and the Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2451). The U.S. Information and
Educational Exchange Act's purpose is to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States and the people of other
countries. It prohibits, with certain exceptions approved by Congress,
dissemination within the United States of materials produced by the
Agency for distribution overseas. It also requires the Agency to make
its overseas program materials available for public inspection at its
Washington, DC, headquarters. The Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange Act authorizes educational and cultural exchanges between the
United States and other countries as well as United States
participation in international fairs and expositions abroad.
Activities
The Agency's objectives are to:
strengthen foreign understanding and support for U.S. policies and
actions;
advise the President, the Secretary of State, members of the National
Security Council, and other key officials on the implications of
foreign opinion for present and contemplated United States policies;
counter attempts to distort the objectives and policies of the United
States;
promote and administer educational and cultural exchange programs in
the national interest and in order to bring about greater
understanding between the people of the United States and the peoples
of the world;
cooperate with the American private sector to enhance the quality and
range of America's overseas information and cultural efforts;
assist in the development of a comprehensive policy on the free flow
of information and international communications; and
conduct negotiations on information and educational and cultural
exchanges with other governments.
To accomplish its purposes, the Agency conducts a variety of
activities overseas educational and cultural exchanges,
English-teaching programs, television, radio, and film programs,
Wireless File, magazine and book distribution, exhibits, and library
and cultural center programs. The Agency offers facilitation to
foreign press and television journalists working overseas and in the
United States and to American journalists overseas.
The Agency conducts programs for the international exchange of
students, teachers, and other educators. It brings leaders in
government, politics, social welfare, and other professional fields to
the United States to consult with their counterparts, observe American
society and institutions, convey an understanding of their own
cultures, and develop their particular fields of interest. Through all
these programs, the Agency seeks to enlarge the circle of those able
to serve as influential interpreters between the United States and
other nations, encourage key institutions to strengthen their contacts
across national boundaries, and reduce impediments to the exchange of
ideas and information. It administers a program through which American
groups and individuals in the performing arts and athletics are sent
abroad to perform, advise, and consult with their professional
colleagues in other societies.
The Agency also is charged with advising the President, the
President's representatives abroad, and the various departments and
agencies on the implications of foreign opinion for present and
contemplated United States policies, programs, and official
statements.
Abroad, the head of each Agency post, the Public Affairs Officer,
provides the Ambassador and other members of the U.S. diplomatic
mission with professional advice and expertise on all matters relating
to the work of the Agency.

overseas audiences. Its programming includes news, reports from
correspondents on the scene, analyses of events from Washington,
feature programs, music, and editorials.
The Office of Cuba Broadcasting is located within the Voice o

The International Development Cooperation Agency's function is policy
planning, policymaking, and policy coordination on international
economic issues affecting developing countries. The Agency's mission
is twofold: first, to ensure that development goals are taken fully
into account in all executive branch decisionmaking on trade,
financing and monetary affairs, technology, and other economic policy
issues affecting the less-developed nations; and second, to provide
strong direction for U.S. economic policies toward the developing
world and a coherent development strategy through the effective use of
U.S. bilateral development assistance programs and U.S. participation
in multilateral development organizations.
The International Development Cooperation Agency was established by
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1979 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective October
1, 1979, to be a focal point within the U.S. Government for economic
matters affecting U.S. relations with developing countries.
The Director of the Agency serves as the principal international
development adviser to the President and to the Secretary of State,
subject to guidance concerning the foreign policy of the United States
from the Secretary of State.
The Director has a wide range of authorities to assist in the pursuit
of the Agency's mission. The Agency for International Development is a
component of the International Development Cooperation Agency, and its
Administrator currently serves as the Agency's Acting Director. The
Trade and Development Program and the Overseas Private Investment
Corporation are component agencies of the Agency, and the Agency's
Director serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
Activities
The Agency plays an important role in the implementation of the U.S.
Economic Support Fund and a number of other development-related
activities and programs.
The Director and senior agency staff chair and participate in a wide
range of interagency committees. The Director is a member of the
National Advisory Committee on International and Monetary Affairs, the
Trade Policy Committee, and the Advisory Committee on Agricultural
Assistance.
The Director chairs the Development Coordination Committee, a broad
interagency body that coordinates development and development-related
policies and programs. As Chair of this Committee, the Director
annually prepares and submits to the Congress a report on development
issues. This report reviews the efforts undertaken by the U.S.
Government in the past year to promote international economic
development, and it discusses key issues facing policymakers in the
development field.
The Agency has responsibility for policy instructions for a number of
U.S. programs affecting developing countries. The Director provides
policy guidelines for the bilateral assistance program to use in
developing projects and programs. The Director also works with other
agencies in formulating the position the United States will take in
international conferences or negotiations on many issues of concern to
developing countries.
International Development Cooperation Agency staff functions are
currently being performed by Agency for International Development
personnel.
Agency for International Development
[For the Agency for International Development statement of
organization, see the Federal Register of Aug. 26, 1987, 52 FR 32174]
The Agency for International Development administers economic
assistance programs that combine an American tradition of
international concern and generosity with the active promotion of
America's national interest. The Agency assists developing countries
in realizing their full national potential through the development of
open and democratic societies and the dynamism of free markets and
individual initiative. It also assists nations throughout the world in
improving the quality of human life and in expanding the range of
individual opportunities by reducing poverty, ignorance, and
malnutrition.
The Agency meets these objectives through a worldwide network of
country missions which develop and implement programs guided by six
principles: support for free markets and broad-based economic growth;
concern for individuals and the development of their economic and
social well-being; support for democracy; responsible environmental
policies and prudent management of natural resources; support for
lasting solutions to transnational problems; and humanitarian
assistance to those who suffer from natural or manmade disasters.
The Agency functions under an Administrator, who also currently serves
as the Director of the International Development Cooperation Agency.
The Administrator directs U.S. foreign and economic assistance
operations in more than 80 countries.

Programs, USIDCA
The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2151 note),
authorizes the Agency to administer, normally on a bilateral basis,
two kinds of foreign assistance: development assistance and economic
support funds.
In addition, the Agency, in cooperation with the Departments of
Agriculture and State, carries out the provisions of the Agricultural
Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended (7 U.S.C.
1691 et seq.51) which includes the donation of agricultural
commodities (title II), and the provision of food under the Food for
Development Program (title III). The direction of the Food for Peace
Program (7 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.) is a shared responsibility of the
Agency and the Department of Agriculture.
The Agency also conducts humanitarian relief activities in support of
those who suffer from natural calamities such as earthquakes, famine,
floods, and drought. Programs are conducted, often in conjunction with
those of other nations and private charitable organizations, to
quickly alleviate the effects of disaster and reduce human suffering.
The Agency emphasizes the importance of stimulating rapid, sustained,
broad-based economic growth. It helps developing countries develop
democratic societies, adopt more market-oriented policies, liberalize
their trade regimes, and put in place other progrowth programs.
Specifically, it administers programs under the Foreign Assistance Act
within the following major categories of assistance:
Development Assistance The Agency focuses its development assistance
programs on critical problem areas in those functional sectors that
affect the majority of the people in the developing countries. The
areas of concentration are:
agriculture, rural development, and nutrition: to increase the
incomes of the poor majority and to expand the availability and
consumption of food, while maintaining and enhancing the natural
resource base;
health: to lower infant and child mortality rates through child
survival programs and improve community and family health, in general,
through primary health care programs; to reduce the incidence of
serious communicable diseases; and assist developing countries in
effectively managing the allocation of financial and human resources
so that preventive and curative health services are sustained and more
equitably distributed;
population planning: to extend voluntary family planning services to
the village level through programs that provide or promote safe,
effective, affordable, acceptable family planning services;
child survival: to increase the availability of both oral rehydration
therapy and immunization programs to the children of developing
countries;
AIDS: to help control the further development of HIV and to monitor
the epidemic and its effects on development through support to the
World Health Organization and bilateral programs;
education and human resource development: to expand access to basic
education, particularly for the rural poor, through programs which
improve the education systems management, the quality of primary
education and the cost-effectiveness of resources used; to encourage
the use of mass media and communications technology, and the
development of informal education and training approaches for rural
families and workers in agriculture, nutrition, health, and family
planning; and to provide advanced training as needed for technicians,
scientists, and managers at all levels;
private-sector, environment, and energy activities: to support
selected development activities that deal with a wide range of
development concerns that do not fall within the above functional
sectors; for example, projects directed toward assisting developing
countries with their energy and natural resource problems and projects
that provide for the transfer and adaptation of appropriate technology
and lessen the problems of rapid urbanization, including employment
and income problems. These activities place high priority on greater
involvement of the private sector of both the United States and less
developed countries in development, including greater reliance on
private and voluntary organizations;
private enterprise: to assist in shaping a market-oriented,
developmental strategy, both directly and in collaboration with the
U.S. and indigenous private sectors. Private sector resources in the
U.S. and developing countries can be the main impetus for growth in
these countries. As such, they are an important supplement and
complement to existing bilateral and multilateral aid programs.
Private investment, both local and foreign, can make a vital
contribution to development through job creation, increased
productivity, transferred technology, management know-how, and the
generation of additional and diversified products to meet internal
demand and expand export capacity; and
Development Fund for Africa: to provide flexible grant financing for
programs in sub-Saharan Africa, including the Sahel. This specific
form of development assistance supports Africa's efforts to overcome
constraints to more rapid growth of production and incomes, reduce the
continent's vulnerability to economic reversals and its dependence on
foreign food and financing, and lay the groundwork for longer term
development. Assistance provided from the Development Fund for Africa
can be in any of the above areas of focus but emphasizes programs to
make African economies more competitive, more efficient, and more
self-sustaining.
Economic Support The primary objective of the Economic Support Fund is
to support U.S. economic, political, and security interests and to
advance U.S. foreign policy goals. It provides resources that stem the
spread of economic and political disruption and that help friends and
allies in dealing with threats to their security and independence.
The Fund is flexible economic assistance provided on a grant basis and
may be used to sustain economic activity and restore financial
equilibrium, to address basic development needs, or to improve
infrastructure. In administering the Fund, consideration is given to
policy guidance that underlies the provision of development
assistance. This would include, for example, assisting developing
countries in building and maintaining social and economic institutions
necessary for self-sustaining and equitable growth, providing
opportunities to improve the quality of everyday life and meeting
basic human needs.
For further information, contact the Office of Policy Development and
Program Review, Bureau for Program and Policy Coordination. Phone, 202
647 8594.
Specific Programs
American Schools and Hospitals Abroad This competitive program
provides grants to private U.S. nonprofit organizations that have
founded or sponsor American schools and hospitals abroad for citizens
of other countries. The purpose is to strengthen institutions
demonstrating American ideas and practices in education and medicine.
For further information, contact the Office of American Schools and
Hospitals Abroad, Bureau for Food for Peace and Voluntary Assistance.
Phone, 202 663 2650.06
International Disaster Assistance The Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster
Assistance administers the Agency's overseas disaster assistance
program. The Office draws upon other U.S. Government agencies,
voluntary and international organizations, and the U.S. private sector
to meet the demands of disaster relief, rehabilitation, preparedness,
early warning, and mitigation in countries stricken or threatened by
natural or manmade disasters. It provides technical assistance and
training for the development of host government disaster assistance
programs, technology transfer for improved prediction and warning
systems, and material and personnel resources for emergency relief and
rehabilitation. The Agency's Administrator serves as the President's
Special Coordinator for International Disaster Assistance.
For further information, contact the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster
Assistance. Phone, 202 647 8924.
Housing Guaranty The Agency's Housing Guaranty Program facilitates
private financing for shelter and urban services for lower income
families in developing countries by guaranteeing repayment to U.S.
lenders for projects requested by these countries. It seeks to finance
innovative programs that promote individual initiative, local
institutional development, and rational policy formulation for the
delivery of serviced urban land and shelter solutions affordable to
lower income households. Examples of program elements may include
squatter settlement upgrading, servicing of urban lots with credit
extended to families to construct their own dwelling units,
construction of economic support infrastructure such as community
markets, municipal management training programs, support to develop a
market-oriented national housing finance system, and simplified
approaches to local land cadastre and titling.
Programs are designed to promote affordable home ownership for lower
income households, increase the participation of the private sector in
the financing and delivery of low-cost shelter and urban services,
support improved housing finance and land and infrastructure
development policies, and strengthen local government institutions to
manage the operation and development of cities.
The Office of Housing and Urban Programs also supports a program of
research and technical assistance in urban development that emphasizes
the development and application of new tools for analyzing urban
issues and urban investment strategies and assists in strengthening
urban investment strategies and urban and financial management
policies and practices.
For further information, contact the Office of Housing and Urban
Programs, Bureau for Asia and Private Enterprise. Phone, 202 663
2530.
Food for Peace In cooperation with the Department of Agriculture, the
Agency administers programs pursuant to titles II and III of the
Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 (7 U.S.C.
1701) to encourage economic development, assist in combating hunger
and malnutrition, and for other purposes.
Under title II, the Agency donates agricultural commodities to meet
famine or other urgent or extraordinary relief requirements, to combat
malnutrition, to promote economic and community development and policy
reform, and for needy persons and nonprofit school lunch and preschool
feeding programs outside the United States.
The Agency also administers the title III Food for Development
Program, under which agricultural commodities are donated to least
developed countries for direct distribution activities, the
establishment of emergency food reserves, or sale with the foreign
currency proceeds being used for specific economic development
purposes.
The Agency supports the use of food aid in ways that promote rather
than hinder the growth of food production and associated policy and
program initiatives by the host government.
For further information, contact the Office of Food for Peace, Bureau
for Food for Peace and Voluntary Assistance. Phone, 202 647 0263.
Science and Technology In recognition of the higher priority that
developing countries are placing on science and technology, the Agency
is focusing on more innovative and collaborative approaches to the
problems and processes of development research and technology
transfer. This program includes both support of research to explore
the potential uses of emerging technologies for development and
innovative approaches to strengthen the capacity of less developed
countries to take advantage of these new technologies.
For further information, contact the Office of the Assistant
Administrator, Bureau for Science and Technology. Phone, 202 647
1827.
Women in Development In recognition of the fact that women in
developing countries play a significant role in economic production,
family support, and the overall development process of the national
economies of such countries, Congress requires that U.S. bilateral aid
be administered so that programs, projects, and activities fully
integrate women as participants and beneficiaries, thus improving
their status and assisting the total development effort. The Agency
implements this congressional mandate with leadership by the Office of
Women in Development.
For further information, contact the Office of Women in Development,
Bureau for Program and Policy Coordination. Phone, 202 647 3992.

Trade and Development Program, USDIC
The Trade and Development Program was established on July 1, 1980, as
a component organization of the International Development Cooperation
Agency. The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 made the
organization an independent agency within the International
Development Cooperation Agency. The Agency's mandate is to promote
economic development in, and simultaneously export U.S. goods and
services to, Third World and middle-income developing countries. It
funds feasibility studies for high-priority development projects that
will be financed by the World Bank or other international financial
institutions, or from the host country's own resources. The studies
are performed only by U.S. firms.
The Agency operates under the authority of sections 607(a) and 661 of
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2357, 2421). Under
section 607(a) of the act, it serves as the coordinating and
authorizing agency for the provision of government-to-government
technical assistance on a fully reimbursable basis.
Under section 661 of the act, the Agency funds planning services,
including feasibility studies, orientation visits, and trade-related
training to assist U.S. firms in becoming involved in development
projects having substantial U.S. export potential in project
implementation.
Overseas Private Investment Corporation
[For the Overseas Private Investment Corporation statement of
organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 22, Chapter
VII]
The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) is a
self-sustaining, Government agency whose purpose is to promote
economic growth in developing countries by encouraging U.S. private
investment in those nations. The Corporation assists American
investors in three principal ways: financing investment projects
through direct loans and/or guaranties; insuring investment projects
against a broad range of political risks; and providing a variety of
investor services including investor counseling, country and regional
information kits, computer-assisted project and investor matching, and
investment missions. All of these programs are designed to reduce the
perceived stumbling blocks and risks associated with overseas
investment.
Organized as a corporation and structured to be responsive to private
business, OPIC's mandate is to mobilize and facilitate the
participation of U.S. private capital and skills in the economic and
social development of less- developed friendly countries and areas.
Currently, OPIC programs are available for new business enterprises or
expansion in 118 countries and areas worldwide. Assistance is not
available for projects that adversely affect U.S. employment, are
financially unsound, or do not promise significant benefits to the
social and economic development of the host country or area.
The Corporation is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors 8
appointed from the private sector and 7 from the Federal Government.
Activities
By reducing or eliminating certain perceived political risks for
investors and providing financing and assistance not otherwise
available, the Corporation helps to reduce the unusual risks and
problems that can make investment opportunities in the developing
areas less attractive than in advanced countries. At the same time, it
reduces the need for government-to-government lending programs by
involving the U.S. private sector in establishing capital-generation
and strengthening private-sector economies in developing countries.
The Corporation insures U.S. investors against the political risks of
expropriation, inconvertibility of local currency holdings, and damage
from war, revolution, insurrection, or civil strife. It also offers a
special insurance policy to U.S. contractors and exporters against
arbitrary drawings of letters of credit posted as bid, performance, or
advance payment guaranties. Other special programs are offered for
minerals exploration, oil and gas exploration, and development and
leasing operations.
The Corporation offers U.S. lenders protection against both commercial
and political risks by guaranteeing payment of principal and interest
on loans (up to $50 million) made to eligible private enterprises.
Its Direct Investment Fund loans, offered to small- and medium-sized
businesses, generally cover terms of from 7 to 12 years, and usually
range from $500,000 to $6 million with varying interest rates,
depending on assessment of the risks of the project financed.
Programs are available only for a new facility, expansion or
modernization of an existing plant, or new inputs of technology or
services in order to encourage new investment which will produce
significant new benefits for host countries.
The Corporation also offers several preinvestment assistance programs.
These include the Investor Information Service, an investment data
clearinghouse; the Opportunity Bank, a computerized investor-project
matching service; the Investment Missions Program, which provides
senior U.S. business executives the opportunity to discuss investment
opportunities with host country officials and businesses; and investor
counseling.

The United States International Trade Commission furnishes studies,
reports, and recommendations involving international trade and tariffs
to the President, the Congress, and other Government agencies. In this
capacity, the Commission conducts a variety of investigations, public
hearings, and research projects pertaining to the international
policies of the United States.
The United States International Trade Commission is an independent
agency created by act of September 8, 1916 (39 Stat. 795), and
originally named the United States Tariff Commission. The name was
changed to the United States International Trade Commission by
section 171 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2231). The
Commission's present powers and duties are provided for largely by
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1654); the Agricultural Adjustment
Act (7 U.S.C. 601); the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1801);
the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2101); the Trade Agreements Act of
1979 (19 U.S.C. 2501); and the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (19 U.S.C. 2901).
Six Commissioners are appointed by the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate, for 9-year terms, unless appointed to fill an
unexpired term. The Chairman and Vice Chairman are designated by the
President for 2-year terms, and succeeding Chairmen may not be of the
same political party. The Chairman generally is responsible for the
administration of the Commission. Not more than three Commissioners
may be members of the same political party (19 U.S.C. 1330).
Activities
The Commission performs a number of functions pursuant to the statutes
referred to above. Under the Tariff Act of 1930, the Commission is
given broad powers of investigation relating to the customs laws of
the United States and foreign countries; the volume of importation in
comparison with domestic production and consumption; the conditions,
causes, and effects relating to competition of foreign industries with
those of the United States; and all other factors affecting
competition between articles of the United States and imported
articles. The Commission is required to make available to the
President and to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of
Representatives and to the Committee on Finance of the Senate,
whenever requested, all information at its command and is directed to
make such investigations and reports as may be requested by the
President or by either of said committees or by either branch of the
Congress. The Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 amended
several of the statutes administered by the Commission and, in
addition, required the Commission to conduct several industry
competitiveness investigations.
In order to carry out these responsibilities, the Commission is
required to engage in extensive research, conduct specialized studies,
and maintain a high degree of expertise in all matters relating to the
commercial and international trade policies of the United States.
Advice Concerning Trade Negotiations The Commission advises the
President as to the probable economic effect on the domestic industry
and consumers of modification of duties and other barriers to trade
that may be considered for inclusion in any proposed trade agreement
with foreign countries (19 U.S.C. 2151).
Generalized System of Preferences The Commission advises the President
with respect to every article that may be considered for preferential
removal of the duty on imports from designated developing countries as
to the probable economic effect the preferential removal of duty will
have on the domestic industry and on consumers (19 U.S.C. 2151,
2163).
Industry Adjustment to Import Competition The Commission conducts
investigations upon petition on behalf of an industry, a firm, a group
of workers, or other entity representative of an industry to determine
whether an article is being imported in such increased quantities as
to be a substantial cause or threat of serious injury to the domestic
industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the
imported article (19 U.S.C. 2251 2254). If the Commission's finding is
affirmative, it recommends to the President the action that would
address such injury and be most effective in facilitating positive
adjustment by the industry to import competition. The President has
discretion to take action that could be in the form of an increase in
duties, imposition of a quota, negotiation of orderly marketing
agreements, or provision of adjustment assistance to groups of
workers, firms, or communities. If the President does not provide
relief in the form recommended by the Commission, and if a joint
resolution disapproving the action of the President is enacted by
Congress, then the President is required to provide the relief
recommended by the Commission (19 U.S.C. 2251 2254).
The Commission reports with respect to developments within an industry
that has been granted import relief and advises the President of the
probable economic effect of the reduction or elimination of the tariff
increase that has been granted. The President may continue, modify, or
terminate the import relief previously granted.
East-West Trade Monitoring System The Commission monitors imports into
the United States from nonmarket-economy countries and makes a report
at least once each calendar quarter on the effect of such imports on
the production of like or directly competitive articles in the United
States and on employment within the industry (19 U.S.C. 2240).
Market Disruption From Communist Countries The Commission conducts
investigations to determine whether increased imports of an article
produced in a Communist country are causing market disruption in the
United States (19 U.S.C. 2436). If the Commission's determination is
in the affirmative, the President may take the same action as in the
case of serious injury to an industry, except that the action would
apply only to imports of the article from the Communist country.
Investigations Relating to Imported Articles Subsidized or Sold at
Less Than Fair Value The Commission conducts preliminary
investigations under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether there
is reasonable indication of material injury to, threat of material
injury to, or material retardation of the establishment of an industry
in the United States by reason of imports of foreign merchandise
allegedly being subsidized or sold at less than fair value (19 U.S.C.
1671, 1673, 1675). If the Commission's determination is affirmative,
and the Secretary of Commerce further determines that the foreign
merchandise is being subsidized or is being, or is likely to be, sold
at less than its fair value, or there is reason to believe or suspect
such unfair practices are occurring, then the Commission conducts
final investigations to determine whether a U.S. industry is
materially injured or threatened with material injury, or its
establishment is materially retarded by reason of such imports.
If the Secretary of Commerce determines to suspend an investigation
upon acceptance of an agreement to eliminate the injurious effect of
subsidized imports or imports sold at less than fair value, the
Commission may conduct an investigation to determine whether the
injurious effect of imports of the merchandise that was the subject of
the suspended investigation is eliminated completely by the agreement.
The Commission also conducts investigations to determine whether in
light of changed circumstances such a suspension agreement continues
to eliminate completely the injurious effect of imports of the
merchandise.
The Commission conducts investigations to determine whether changed
circumstances exist that indicate that an industry in the United
States would not be threatened with material injury, or the
establishment of such an industry would not be materially retarded, if
the countervailing duty order or antidumping order resulting from
affirmative final determinations by the Commission and Secretary of
Commerce were modified or revoked.
With regard to imports of articles from countries not party to the
Agreement on Interpretation and Application of Articles VI, XVI, and
XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the Commission
determines, with respect to any such duty-free article that the
Secretary of Commerce has determined is being subsidized, whether an
industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with
material injury, or its establishment is materially retarded by reason
of such imports (19 U.S.C. 1303).
Import Interference With Agricultural Programs The Commission conducts
investigations at the direction of the President to determine whether
any articles are being or are practically certain to be imported into
the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to
render or tend to render ineffective, or to materially interfere with,
programs of the Department of Agriculture for agricultural commodities
or products thereof, or to reduce substantially the amount of any
product processed in the United States from such commodities or
products, and makes findings and recommendations (7 U.S.C. 624). The
President may restrict the imports in question by imposition of either
import fees or quotas.
Unfair Practices in Import Trade The Commission applies U.S. statutory
and common law of unfair competition to the importation of products
into the United States and their sale (19 U.S.C. 1337). The statute
declares unlawful unfair methods of competition and unfair acts in the
importation or sale of products in the United States, the threat or
effect of which is to destroy or substantially injure a domestic
industry, prevent the establishment of such an industry, or restrain
or monopolize trade and commerce in the United States. The statute
also declares as unlawful per se infringement of a valid and
enforceable U.S. patent, copyright, registered trademark, or maskwork;
no resulting injury need be found. If the Commission determines that
there is a violation of the statute, it is to direct that the articles
involved be excluded from entry into the United States, or it may
issue cease-and-desist orders directing the person engaged in such
violation to cease and desist from engaging in such unfair methods or
acts.
Provision is made for the Commission to make certain public interest
determinations that could result in the withholding of an exclusion or
cease and desist order. Provision is made also for the President to
intervene within 60 days after the issuance of a Commission order to
terminate the order for policy reasons. Commission determinations of
violation are subject to court review.
Uniform Statistical Data The Commission, in cooperation with the
Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce, establishes
for statistical purposes an enumeration of articles imported into the
United States and exported from the United States, and seeks to
establish comparability of such statistics with statistical programs
for domestic production (19 U.S.C. 1484).
In conjunction with such activities, the three agencies are to develop
concepts for an international commodity code for reporting
transactions in international trade and to report thereon to the
Congress (19 U.S.C. 1484).
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, Annotated The
Commission issues a publication containing the U.S. tariff schedules
and related matters and considers questions concerning the arrangement
of such schedules and the classification of articles (19 U.S.C. note
prec. 1202, 1332a, 1484e).
International Trade Studies The Commission conducts studies,
investigations, and research projects on a broad range of topics
relating to international trade, pursuant to requests of the
President, the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance
Committee, either branch of the Congress, or on its own motion (19
U.S.C. 1332). Public reports of these studies, investigations, and
research projects are issued in most cases.
The Commission also keeps informed of the operation and effect of
provisions relating to duties or other import restrictions of the
United States contained in various trade agreements (19 U.S.C. 2482).
Occasionally the Commission is required by statute to perform specific
trade-related studies.
Tariff Summaries The Commission prepares and publishes, from time to
time, a series of summaries of trade and tariff information (19 U.S.C.
1332). These summaries contain descriptions (in terms of the Tariff
Schedules of the United States) of the thousands of products imported
into the United States, methods of production, and the extent and
relative importance of U.S. consumption, production, and trade,
together with certain basic factors affecting the competitive position
and economic health of domestic industries.

The United States Office of Special Counsel investigates allegations
of certain activities prohibited by civil service laws, rules, or
regulations and litigates before the Merit Systems Protection Board.
Activities
The United States Office of Special Counsel (OSC) was established on
January 1, 1979, by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1978 (5 U.S.C. app.).
The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. 1101 note), which
became effective on January 11, 1979, enlarged its functions and
powers. Pursuant to provisions of the Whistleblower Protection Act of
1989 (5 U.S.C. 1201 note), OSC functions as an independent
investigative and prosecutorial agency within the executive branch
which litigates before the Merit Systems Protection Board.
The primary role of OSC is to protect employees, former employees, and
applicants for employment from prohibited personnel practices,
especially reprisal for whistleblowing. OSC's basic areas of statutory
responsibility are:
receiving and investigating allegations of prohibited personnel
practices and other activities prohibited by civil service law, rule,
or regulation and, if warranted, initiating corrective or disciplinary
action;
providing a secure channel through which information evidencing a vi
olation of any law, rule, or regulation, gross mismanagement, gross
waste of funds, abuse of authority, or substantial and specific danger
to public health or safety may be disclosed without fear of
retaliation and without disclosure of identity, except with the
employee's consent; and
enforcing the provisions of the Hatch Act.

[For the United States Postal Service statement of organization, see

The United States Postal Service provides mail processing and delivery
services to individuals and businesses within the United States. The
Service is committed to the development of efficient mail-handling
systems and operates its own planning and engineering programs. It is
also the responsibility of the Postal Service to protect the mails
from loss or theft and to apprehend those who violate postal laws.
The Postal Service was created as an independent establishment of the
executive branch by the Postal Reorganization Act (39 U.S.C. 101 et
seq.), approved August 12, 1970. The United States Postal Service
commenced operations on July 1, 1971.
The Postal Service has more than 760,000 employees and handles more
than 166 billion pieces of mail annually. The chief executive officer
of the Postal Service, the Postmaster General, is appointed by the
nine Governors of the Postal Service, who are appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate for overlapping
9-year terms. The 9 Governors and the Postmaster General appoint the
Deputy Postmaster General, and these 11 people constitute the Board of
Governors.
In addition to the national headquarters, there are regional and field
division offices supervising more than 40,000 post offices, branches,
stations, and community post offices throughout the United States.

Activities, USPS
In order to expand and improve service to the public, the Postal
Service is engaged in customer cooperation activities, including the
development of programs for both the general public and major
customers. The Consumer Advocate, a postal ombudsman, represents the
interest of the individual mail customer in matters involving the
Postal Service by bringing complaints and suggestions to the attention
of top postal management and solving the problems of individual
customers. To provide postal services responsive to public needs, the
Postal Service operates its own planning, research, engineering, real
estate, and procurement programs specially adapted to postal
requirements, and maintains close ties with international postal
organizations.
A fundamental commitment of the Postal Service is to provide swift and
reliable mail delivery. Activities designed to facilitate postal
operations include design and maintenance of the postal rate
structure, development of mail classification standards, and
generation of internal information necessary for effective management
of the postal enterprise.
The Postal Service is the only Federal agency whose employment
policies are governed by a process of collective bargaining. Labor
contract negotiations, affecting all bargaining unit personnel, as
well as personnel matters involving employees not covered by
collective bargaining agreements, are administered by the Human
Resources Group.
The Postal Inspection Service operates as the inspector general for
the Postal Service and is its law enforcement arm. Duties include
protecting the mails, postal funds, and property; investigating
internal conditions and needs that may affect postal security and
effectiveness; apprehending those who violate the postal laws; and
auditing financial and nonfinancial operations.
There is a Regional Chief Inspector in each of the five postal
regions. Information and complaints of postal violations should be
presented to the nearest Postal Inspector in charge.
There are five Regional Postmasters General, each managing postal
activities in a geographical area as indicated below.

The Legal Services Corporation makes quality legal assistance for
noncriminal proceedings available to those who would otherwise be
unable to afford such assistance.
The Legal Services Corporation is a private, nonprofit organization
established by the Legal Services Corporation Act of 1974, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 2996), to provide financial support for legal assistance in
noncriminal proceedings to persons financially unable to afford legal
services.
The Corporation is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors,

The President of the Corporation, appointed by the Board of Directors,

The Corporation establishes maximum income levels for clients based on
family size, urban and rural differences, and cost-of-living
variations. Using these maximum income levels and other financial

The Smithsonian Institution is an independent trust instrumentality of
the United States that fosters the increase and diffusion of
knowledge. History, technology, science, and the arts are represented
in exhibits through the conduct of research, publication of studies,
and participation in cooperative international programs of scholarly
exchange.
The Smithsonian Institution was created by act of August 10, 1846 (20
U.S.C. 41 et seq.), to carry out the terms of the will of James
Smithson of England, who in 1829 had bequeathed his entire estate to
the United States ``to found at Washington, under the name of the
Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and
diffusion of knowledge among men.'' On July 1, 1836, Congress accepted
the legacy and pledged the faith of the United States to the
charitable trust.
After accepting the trust property for the United States, Congress
vested responsibility for administering the trust in the Smithsonian
Board of Regents, composed of the Chief Justice, the Vice President,
three Members of the Senate, three Members of the House of
Representatives, and nine citizen members appointed by joint
resolution of Congress.
To carry out Smithson's mandate, the Institution:
performs fundamental research;
publishes the results of studies, explorations, and investigations;
preserves for study and reference some 137 million items of
scientific, cultural, and historical interest;
maintains exhibits representative of the arts, American history,
technology, aeronautics and space exploration, and natural history;
participates in the international exchange of learned publications;
and
engages in programs of education and national and international
cooperative research and training, supported by its trust endowments
and gifts, grants and contracts, and funds appropriated to it by
Congress.
Activities
Anacostia Museum The Museum is located in the historic Fort Stanton
neighborhood of southeast Washington. The Museum serves as a national
resource for exhibitions, scholarly and applied research, historical
documentation, and interpretive and educational programs relating to
African American history and culture. The African-American church, the
Harlem Renaissance, African-American inventors, and works by renowned
artists such as Sam Gilliam have been the subjects of exhibitions by
the Museum.
The Research Department, open for use by scholars, supports exhibition
design and educational programs. It conducts independent studies of
African-American history, minority and ethnic studies, and the history
of Anacostia and Washington, DC.
The Education Department designs, prepares, and schedules programs
that enhance current exhibitions and develops independent programs and
activities to serve the needs and interests of the immediate
neighborhood, as well as the broader community. These activities
include guided tours, demonstrations, lectures, storytelling, teacher
seminars, family workshops, conservation seminars, and performing arts
programs.
For further information, contact the Anacostia Museum, 1901 Fort Place
SE., Washington, DC 20020. Phone, 202 287 3369.
Archives of American Art The Archives contains the Nation's largest
collection of documentary materials reflecting the history of visual
arts in the United States. The Archives gathers, preserves, and
microfilms the papers of artists, craftsmen, collectors, dealers,
critics, museums, and art societies. These papers consist of
manuscripts, letters, notebooks, sketchbooks, business records,
clippings, exhibition catalogs, tape-recorded interviews, and
photographs of artists and their work. The extensive microfilm
holdings of the archives also include bodies of materials not
belonging to the archives but recorded by it with permission of the
owner.
The Archives' chief processing and reference center is in the
Smithsonian's Museum of American Art and Portrait Gallery Building.
The Archives has administrative offices in both Washington and New
York. Regional branch offices, each with a complete set of microfilm
duplicating the archives' collections, are located in Boston, Detroit,
Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.
For further information, contact the Archives of American Art,
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560. Phone, 202 357 2781.
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery The museum of Asian art opened to the public
September 1987 on the National Mall. Changing exhibitions drawn from
major collections in the United States and abroad, as well as from the
permanent holdings of the Sackler Gallery, are displayed in the
distinctive new museum. The Gallery's permanent collection is founded
on a group of 1,000 art objects from China, South and Southeast Asia,
and the ancient Near East that was given by the late Arthur M.
Sackler, a medical researcher, publisher, and art collector.
Highlights include Chinese jades and bronzes, ancient Near Eastern
gold and silver, and Persian manuscripts. Programs at the Gallery
include loan exhibitions and major international shows offering both
surveys of distinctive Asian traditions and comparative exhibitions
showing the art of different centuries, geographic areas, and types of
patronage. Many exhibitions are accompanied by public programs and
scholarly symposia.
For further information, contact the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, 1050
Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20560. Phone, 202 357 4880.
Conservation Analytical Laboratory The Laboratory provides a focus
within the Smithsonian Institution for conservation of the millions of
artifacts in the collections. It provides chemical analyses to
curators for cataloging purposes, and to conservators for establishing
the nature of a particular example of deterioration and for
determining whether commercial materials proposed for use in prolonged
contact with artifacts are truly safe. It treats many hundreds of
artifacts each year and, upon request, supports other conservators in
the Institution with advice and specialized materials. It collaborates
with archeologists, curators, and university and government
laboratories in archeometric studies.
For further information, contact the Director, Conservation Analytical
Laboratory, Museum Support Center, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, MD

The United States Institute of Peace was established to strengthen the
Nation's capacity to promote international peace and the peaceful
resolution of conflicts among the peoples and nations of the world.
The United States Institute of Peace is an independent, nonprofit,
Government corporation created and wholly funded by Congress to
develop and disseminate knowledge about international peace and
conflict resolution. The Institute addresses this mandate in three
principal ways:
by expanding basic and applied knowledge about the origins, nature,
and processes of peace and war, encompassing the widest spectrum of
approaches and insights;
by disseminating this knowledge to officials, policymakers,
diplomats, and others engaged in efforts to promote international
peace; and
by supporting education and training programs and providing
information for secondary and university-level teachers and students
and the general public.
The Institute's primary activities are grantmaking, fellowships, in-h
ouse research projects, public education activities, publications, and
library services.
The Grants Program provides financial support for research,
information services, education, and training. Eligible grantees
include nonprofit organizations; official public institutions,
including public schools, colleges, universities, libraries, and
State, and local agencies; and individuals, whether or not they are
associated with nonprofit or official public institutions.
The Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace provides
fellowships to scholars, practitioners, and other professionals to
undertake research and other appropriate forms of work on issues of
international peace and the management of international conflicts. The
Fellowship Program has three levels: Distinguished Fellows, persons
whose careers show extraordinary accomplishment; Peace Fellows,
mid-career persons also of accomplishment; and Peace Scholars, persons
working on doctoral dissertations.
The Jeannette Rankin Library Program has four main components: a
specialized research library; a network with and support for other
libraries, both private and public; an oral history resource; and
bibliographic as well as other data bases.
The Public Affairs Office fulfils requests for speakers, media
services, and general inquiries. Institute-directed projects under the
Education and Training Program include educational video programs and
a National Peace Essay Contest for high school students. The in-house
Research and Studies Program conducts seminars and study groups on
issues of short- and long-term significance. Institute publications
include the Biennial Report to Congress and the President;ssue papers,
In Brief; and monographs, books, and reports generated from
Institute-supported activities.

Africans Development Bank
Headquarters: Abidjan, Ivory Coast
President: Babacar N'Diaye
The African Development Bank (AFDB) was formed in 1963 by 33
independent African countries to contribute, individually and jointly,
to the economic and social progress of its regional members. In 1973,
non-African countries joined with AFDB to establish the African
Development Fund (AFDF) as the concessional lending affiliate of AFDB.
The Fund loans only to the poorest African countries. Membership in
the Bank was limited to 50 African nations until late 1982 when
nonregional countries began to join the institution.
The United States became a member of AFDF in 1976 by virtue of the
African Development Fund Act (22 U.S.C. 290g note), and in February
1983 the United States became a member of AFDB by virtue of the
African Development Bank Act (22 U.S.C. 290i note).

International Bank for Reconstruction and Development

President: Barber B. Conable
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), also
called the World Bank, officially came into existence on December 27,
1945, when the Articles of Agreement, formulated at the United Nations
Monetary and Financial Conference held at Bretton Woods, NH, in July
1944, were signed in Washington, DC, by 28 governments. As of March
1991, 155 countries were members of IBRD.
IBRD's purpose is to promote economic and social progress in
developing nations by raising productivity so that their people may
live a better and fuller life. It does this by lending funds,
providing advice and serving as a catalyst to stimulate outside
investments. IBRD's resources come primarily from funds raised in the
world capital markets, its retained earnings, and repayments on its
loans.2
International Development Association The International Development
Association (IDA) came into existence on September 24, 1960, as an
affiliate of IBRD. Membership of IDA is open to all member countries
of IBRD, and by March 1991, 138 countries had become members. IDA's
resources consist of subscriptions and supplementary resources in the
form of general replenishments, mostly from its 33 more industrialized
and developed members; special contributions by its richer members;
and transfers from the net earnings of IBRD.
IDA's purposes are to promote economic development, increase
productivity, and raise the standard of living in the least developed
areas of the world. It does this by financing their developmental
requirements on concessionary terms, which are more flexible and bear
less heavily on the balance of payments than those of conventional
loans, thereby furthering the objectives of IBRD and supplementing its
activities.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), an affiliate of the World
Bank, was established in July 1956 to promote productive private
enterprise in the developing countries. Membership is open to all
countries that are members of the World Bank. All powers are vested in
IFC's Board of Governors, with one Governor from each member country.
Responsibility for conduct of IFC's general operations is vested in a
Board of Directors made up of the 22 Executive Directors of the World
Bank. The President of the World Bank is ex officio Chairman of the
IFC Board of Directors, which has appointed him President of IFC. The
Corporation's Executive Vice President is responsible for overall
management operations.
As of March 30, 1991, IFC had 140 member countries, adequate subs
cribed capital and general reserves, and authority to borrow from the
World Bank and other sources up to four times its unimpaired capital
and surplus. Its capital is subscribed by its member countries.
The Corporation pursues its objective principally through direct
investments in projects that either establish new businesses or
expand, modify, or diversify existing businesses. It achieves this
goal by providing finance of its own, either by loan or equity
subscription or a combination of both, and by recruiting finance from
other foreign and local sources. Advisory services and technical
assistance are also provided by IFC to developing member countries in
areas such as capital market development, privatization, corporate
restructuring, and foreign direct investment.

International Monetary Fund

Managing Director and Chairman of the
Executive Board: Michel Camdessus
The Final Act of the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference,
signed at Bretton Woods, NH, on July 22, 1944, set forth the original
Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund. The
Agreement became effective on December 27, 1945, when the President,
authorized by the Bretton Woods Agreements Act (22 U.S.C. 286)
accepted membership for the United States in the Fund, the Agreement
having thus been accepted by countries having approximately 80 percent
of the quotas. The inaugural meeting of the Board of Governors was
held in March 1946, and the first meeting of the Executive Directors
was held May 6, 1946.
On May 31, 1968, the Board of Governors approved a proposed amendment
to the Articles of Agreement for the establishment of a facility based
on Special Drawing Rights (SDR's) in the Fund and for modification of
certain rules and practices of the Fund. The amendment became
effective on July 28, 1969, and the Special Drawing Account became
operative on August 6, 1969. The United States acceptance of the
amendment and participation in the Special Drawing Account were
authorized by the Special Drawing Rights Act (22 U.S.C. 286 et seq.).
On April 30, 1976, the Board of Governors approved a proposed second
amendment to the Articles of Agreement, which entered into force on
April 1, 1978. United States acceptance of this amendment was
authorized by the Bretton Woods Agreements Act Amendments (22 U.S.C.
286e 5). Under this amendment two separate accounts are continued as
departments: a General Department through which the Fund carries on
its operations and transactions in currencies and gold, as in the
past, and a Special Drawing Rights Department for functions related to
SDRs, which serve as a supplement to gold and foreign exchange as a
component of the international reserves of participant countries. The
amendment introduces new and flexible provisions dealing with exchange
arrangements, including provision for Fund surveillance over the
exchange rate policies of members, and changes in the characteristics
and uses of the SDR intended to enhance its status.
On June 28, 1990, the Board of Governors approved a proposed third
amendment to the Articles of Agreement, under which a member's voting
rights and certain related rights may be suspended by a 70-percent
majority of the executive board if the member, having been declared
ineligible to use the general resources of the Fund, persists in its
failure to fulfill any of its obligations under the Articles.
The purposes of the Fund are to promote international monetary
cooperation through a permanent institution that provides the
machinery for consultation and collaboration on international monetary
problems; to facilitate the expansion and balanced growth of
international trade; to promote exchange stability; to assist in the
establishment of a multilateral system of payments for current
transactions between members; and to give confidence to members by
making the Fund's resources temporarily available to them under
adequate safeguards.
In accordance with these purposes, the Fund seeks to shorten the
duration and lessen the degree of imbalance in the international
balances of payments of members.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), formerly the
Intergovernmental Committee for Migration (ICM), was created in 1951
at a conference in Brussels sponsored by the Governments of the United
States and Belgium.
IOM is a technical, nonpolitical organization that plans and operates
refugee resettlement, national migration, and emergency relief
programs at the request of its member states and in cooperation with
other international organizations.
IOM has four major objectives: the processing and movement of refugees
to countries offering them permanent resettlement opportunities; the
promotion of orderly migration to meet the specific needs of both
emigration and immigration countries; the transfer of technology
through migration in order to promote the economic, educational, and
social advancement of countries in the process of development,
particularly in Latin America and Africa; and the provision of a forum
to states and other partners to discuss experiences, exchange views,
and devise measures to promote cooperation and coordination of efforts
on migration issues.
IOM has a membership of 35 governments; 22 other governments have
observer status. Operational offices are located in 47 countries,
including some nonmember countries.

The United Nations is an international organization that was set up in
accordance with the Charter \1\drafted by governments represented at
the Conference on International Organization meeting at San Francisco.
The Charter was signed on June 26, 1945, and came into force on
October 24, 1945, when the required number of ratifications and
accessions had been made by the signatories. Amendments increasing
membership of the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council
came into effect on August 31, 1965.
1\ Charter of the United Nations, together with the Statute of the
International Court of Justice (Department of State Publication No.
2353, International Organization and Conference Series III, 21), June
26, 1945. Available for sale from the Superintendent of Documents,
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 (87 pages).
The United Nations now consists of 160 member states of which 51 are
founding members.
Purpose The purposes of the United Nations set out in the Charter are:
to maintain international peace and security; to develop friendly
relations among nations; to achieve international cooperation in
solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or
humanitarian character and in promoting respect for human rights; and
to be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in the
attainment of these common ends.
Organization
The principal organs of the United Nations are:
General Assembly All states that are members of the United Nations are
members of the General Assembly. Its functions are to consider and
discuss any matter within the scope of the Charter of the United
Nations and to make recommendations to the members of the United
Nations and other organs. It approves the budget of the organization,
the expenses of which are borne by the members as apportioned by the
General Assembly.
The General Assembly may call the attention of the Security Council to
situations likely to endanger international peace and security, may
initiate studies, and may receive and consider reports from other
organs of the United Nations. Under the ``Uniting for Peace''
resolution adopted by the General Assembly in November 1950, if the
Security Council fails to act on an apparent threat to or breach of
the peace or act of aggression because of lack of unanimity of its
five permanent members, the Assembly itself may take up the matter
within 24 hours in emergency special session and recommend collective
measures, including, in case of a breach of the peace or act of
aggression, use of armed force when necessary to maintain or restore
international peace and security.
The General Assembly has held to date 40 regular sessions, 12 special
sessions, and 9 emergency special sessions. It normally meets in
regular annual session in September.
Security Council The Security Council consists of 15 members of which
5 the People's Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom, and the United States of
America are permanent members and are elected each year. The 10
nonpermanent members are elected for 2-year terms by the General
Assembly. The primary responsibility of the Security Council is to act
on behalf of the members of the United Nations in maintenance of
international peace and security. Measures that may be employed by the
Security Council are outlined in the Charter.
The Security Council, together with the General Assembly, also elects
the judges of the International Court of Justice and makes a
recommendation to the General Assembly on the appointment of the
Secretary General of the organization.
The Security Council first met in London on January 17, 1946, and is
so organized as to be able to function continuously.
Economic and Social Council This organ is responsible, under the
authority of the General Assembly, for the economic and social
programs of the United Nations. Its functions include making or
initiating studies, reports, and recommendations on international
economic, social, cultural, educational, health, and related matters;
promoting respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental
freedoms for all; calling international conferences and preparing
draft conventions for submission to the General Assembly on matters
within its competence; negotiating agreements with the specialized
agencies and defining their relationship with the United Nations;
coordinating the activities of the specialized agencies; and
consulting with nongovernmental organizations concerned with matters
within its competence. The Council consists of 54 members of the
United Nations elected by the General Assembly for 3-year terms; 18
are elected each year.
The Council usually holds two regular sessions a year. It has also
held a number of special sessions.
Trusteeship Council The Trusteeship Council was initially established
to consist of any member states that administer trust territories,
permanent members of the Security Council that do not administer trust
territories, and enough other nonadministering countries elected by
the General Assembly for 3-year terms to ensure that membership would
be equally divided between administering and nonadministering members.
At present, the participating members of the Council are the United
Kingdom, China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and
the United States.
Of the original 11 trust territories, all except the Trust Territory
of the Pacific Islands, which is administered by the United States,
have attained the goals of the trusteeship system, either as
independent states or as parts of such states.
The Council functions under authority of the General Assembly. It
considers reports from the member administering the Trust Territory,
examines petitions from inhabitants of the Trust Territory, and
provides for periodic inspection visits to the Trust Territory. The
Council has held 52 regular sessions and a number of special sessions;
it now holds one regular session a year.
International Court of Justice The International Court of Justice is
the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It has its seat at
The Hague, the Netherlands. All members of the United Nations are ipso
facto parties to the Statute of the Court. Nonmembers of the United
Nations may become parties to the Statute of the Court on conditions
prescribed by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the
Security Council.
The jurisdiction of the Court comprises all cases that the parties
refer to it and all matters specially provided for in the Charter of
the United Nations or in treaties and conventions in force.
The Court consists of 15 judges known as ``members'' of the Court.
They are elected for 9-year terms by the General Assembly and the
Security Council, voting independently; they may be reelected.
Secretariat The Secretariat consists of a Secretary-General and
``such staff as the Organization may require.'' The Secretary-General,
who is appointed by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the
Security Council, is the chief administrative officer of the United
Nations. He acts in that capacity for the General Assembly, the
Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and the Trusteeship
Council. Under the Charter, the Secretary-General ``may bring to the
attention of the Security Council any matter that in his opinion may
threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.''

APPENDIX A: Standard Federal Regions and Federal Executive Boards
Standard Federal Regions
Standard Federal administrative regions were established to achieve
more uniformity in the location and geographic jurisdiction of Federal
field offices. Standard regions are a basis for promoting more
systematic coordination among agencies and Federal, State, and local
governments and for securing management improvements and economies
through greater interagency and intergovernmental cooperation. OMB
Circular A 105, Standard Federal Regions, provides further guidance on
the policies and requirements governing standard administrative
regions. Boundaries were drawn and regional office locations
designated for 10 regions, and agencies are required to adopt the
uniform system when changes are made or new offices established. A map
showing the standard boundaries is printed on the following page.
The regional structures of agencies not conforming to the uniform
regional system can be found in the tables accompanying their
descriptions, when provided by the agency.
For further information, contact the General Management Division,
Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503. Phone, 202 395 5090.
Federal Executive Boards
Federal Executive Boards (FEB's) were established by Presidential
directive (a memorandum for heads of Federal departments and agencies
dated November 13, 1961) to improve internal Federal management
practices and to provide a central focus for Federal participation in
civic affairs in major metropolitan centers of Federal activity. They
carry out their functions under the supervision and control of the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Federal Executive Boards are composed of heads of Federal field
offices in the metropolitan area. A Chairman is elected annually from
among the membership to provide overall leadership to the Board's
operations. Committees and task forces carry out interagency projects
consistent with the Board's missions.
Federal Executive Boards serve as a means for disseminating
information within the Federal Government and for promoting discussion
of Federal policies and activities of importance to all Federal
executives in the field.
Currently, Federal Executive Boards are located in 27 metropolitan
areas that are important centers of Federal activity. These areas are:
Albuquerque-Santa Fe, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Detroit,
Honolulu-Pacific, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New
Orleans, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, St.
Louis, San Antonio, San Francisco, Seattle, and the Twin Cities
(Minneapolis-St. Paul).
Federal Executive Associations, Councils, or Committees have been
locally organized in over 100 other metropolitan areas to perform
functions similar to the Federal Executive Boards but on a lesser
scale of organization and activity.
For further information, contact the Assistant for Regional
Operations, Office of Personnel Management, Room 5H36G, 1900 E Street
NW., Washington, DC 20415 0001. Phone, 202 606 1001.
