pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity 
for comment are not required, and this rule may be made effective less 
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Further, since 
this rule relates solely to internal agency management, it is exempt 
from the provisions of Executive Order Nos. 12866 and 12788. Finally, 
this action is not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 
5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. and thus is exempt form the provisions of that
