ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document removes the regulations of the National 
Agricultural Library (NAL) regarding the availability of information to 
the public in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to 
reflect an internal reorganization of the Department of Agriculture 
(USDA).

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 21, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stasia A.M. Hutchison, FOIA 
Coordinator, Information Staff, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, 
6303 Ivy Lane, Room 456, Greenbelt, MD 20770, Telephone (301) 344-2207.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1)) requires 
Federal agencies to publish in the Federal Register regulations 
describing how the public may obtain information from the agency. Part 
4100 of Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations, was issued in accordance 
with the regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture at 7 CFR Part 1, 
Subpart A, implementing FOIA.
    Pursuant to an internal reorganization of USDA, NAL has been 
integrated into the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), USDA. This 
document removes 7 CFR Part 4100. Requests for information relating to 
NAL may be obtained through the FOIA Coordinator for ARS pursuant to 7 
CFR Part 1, Subpart A, and 7 CFR Part 510.
    This rule relates to internal agency management. Therefore, 
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 to internal agency management, it is exempt from the 
provisions of Executive Orders 12778 and 12866. Also, this rule will 
not cause a significant economic impact or other substantial effect on 
small entities. Therefore, the requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., do not apply. This rule 
supersedes the notice published in the Federal Register on May 19, 1988 
(53 FR 17914).

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 4100

    Accordingly, under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, Part 4100 is 
removed and chapter XLI is vacated.

    Done at Washington, DC, this 18th day of December 1995.
K.D. Murrell,
Acting Associate Administrator, Agricultural Research Service.
