DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
7 CFR Part 3010


Office of the Chief Financial Officer; Organization and Function

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Financial Officer, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document removes the Organization and Function regulation 
that deals with the internal structure of the Office of Finance and 
Management (OFM). Under the reorganization of the Department of 
Agriculture, OFM no longer exists. The OFM functions have been assigned 
to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) (60 FR 56392-56465, 
revising 7 CFR Part 2).

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective October 15, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Richard Guyer, Director, Fiscal Policy Division, Office of the Chief 
Financial Officer, USDA room 3022, South Building, 14th and 
Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20250, (202) 690-0291.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of the Department of 
Agriculture's regulatory reform initiative, it has been determined that 
this regulation is unnecessary. It deals with the internal structure of 
an organization, OFM, that was eliminated in the recent reorganization 
of USDA. The duties of OFM were delegated to the newly established 
OCFO.

    Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301, 552

Impact Analysis

    This rule relates to internal agency management. Therefore, 
pursuant to 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 Order Nos. 12866 and 12988. This action also is 
not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 
et seq.) and the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), and, thus is exempt from the provisions of 
those Acts. Finally, this rule does not contain any requirements for 
collection of information on financial or property matters within the 
scope of the Paperwork Reduction Act (45 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
