ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document removes the regulations of the Office of Energy 
(OE) regarding organization and functions to reflect an internal 
reorganization of the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 12, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan E. Offutt, Administrator, ERS, U.S. Department of Agriculture,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 
552(a)(1), requires Federal agencies to publish in the Federal Register 
descriptions of its central and field organizations. Part 2902 of Title 
7, Code of Federal Regulations, was issued in accordance with the 
regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture at 7 CFR 2.88, organization 
and functions. Pursuant to an internal reorganization of USDA, OE has 
been integrated into the Economic Research Service (ERS), USDA. This 
document removes 7 CFR Part 2902. Requests for information relating to 
OE may be obtained through the ERS Administrator pursuant to 7 CFR Part 
3700.
    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 12988 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.
