Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division

28 CFR Part 0

 

Redelegation of Authority of Assistant Attorney General, Criminal 
Division

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, 
Department of Justice.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 28 CFR 0.64-4 delegates to the Assistant Attorney General in 
charge of the Criminal Division all power and authority vested in the 
Attorney General under section 3508 of title 18, United States Code, 
which has not been delegated to the Director, United States Marshals 
Service under 28 CFR 0.111a. Section 3508 authorizes the temporary 
transfer of witnesses who are in foreign custody to the United States 
for purposes of giving testimony in Federal or State criminal 
proceedings. Section 0.64-4 also authorizes the Assistant Attorney 
General in charge of the Criminal Division to redelegate this authority 
to her Deputy Assistant Attorneys General and to the Director and 
Deputy Directors of the Office of International Affairs. This final 
rule amends the Appendix to Subpart K of Part 0 by adding a new 
Directive formally redelegating the authority of the Assistant Attorney 
General to Deputy Assistant Attorneys General and the Director and 
Deputy Directors, Office of International Affairs, Criminal Divison.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 9, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George W. Proctor, Director, Office of 
International Affairs, Criminal Division, Department of Justice, 
Washington, DC 20530; 202-514-0000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule is a matter of internal Department 
management. It has been drafted and reviewed in accordance with section 
1(b) of Executive Order 12866. The Assistant Attorney General for the 
Criminal Division has determined that this rule is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and 
accordingly this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management 
and Budget.
    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, (5 U.S.C. 
605(b)), the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division has 
reviewed this rule, and by approving it certifies that this rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    This rule will not have substantial direct effects on the States, 
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with Executive Order 
12612, it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient 
federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism 
Assessment.
