Processing Garnishment Orders for Child Support and/or Alimony

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Correction to final regulations.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
which were published on Wednesday, January 25, 1995, (60 FR 5044). The 
regulations updated the list of agents designated to accept service of 
process in garnishment actions.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 24, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Murray M. Meeker, Attorney, Office of the General Counsel, (202) 606-
1980.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On January 25, 1995, OPM published a list of agents designated to 
receive legal process in garnishment actions where the indebtedness was 
based on child support and/or alimony. Subsequent to publication, we 
were advised by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service that they 
had consolidated certain offices and requested that we correct our 
final rule. This correction is in compliance with this request. This 
document also corrects designated agent information received from 
several other agencies who found errors in the January 25, 1995 
publication.
    More specifically, this document amends the ``General Notice for 
Certain Civilian Employees of the Army and the Navy'' under the 
Department of Defense listing to include civilian employees of the Army 
and Navy who are paid by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service--
Denver Center; corrects the address for the designated agent under that 
heading; and amends the designated agent under the Air Force for Air 
Force Active Duty, Reserve, Air National Guard (ANG), and civilian 
employees of appropriated fund activities. In addition, this document 
corrects the agent listings for the Defense Mapping Agency, the Energy 
Department's Oakland Operations Office; the Department of Veterans 
Affairs' Sioux Falls Medical and Regional Office Center in South 
Dakota; the Federal Maritime Commission; and the Small Business 
Administration. This document also deletes the listing for the 
International Trade Commission.
