SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice provides a copy of the 1997 List 
of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities, which the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to publish annually under 
the IG Act.
    The List is divided into two groups: Designated Federal Entities 
and Federal Entities. The Designated Federal Entities are required to 
establish and maintain Offices of Inspector General. The 29 Designated 
Federal Entities are as listed in the IG Act, except that those 
agencies which have ceased to exist have been deleted from the list.
    Federal Entities are required to annually report to each House of 
the Congress and the OMB on audit and investigative activities in their 
organizations. Federal Entities are defined as ``any Government 
corporation (within the meaning of section 103(1) of title 5, United 
States Code), any Government controlled corporation (within the meaning 
of section 103(2) of such title), or any other entity in the Executive 
Branch of the government, or any independent regulatory agency'' other 
than the Executive Office of the President and agencies with statutory 
Inspectors General. There are 4 deletions and 2 additions in the 1997 
Federal Entities list from the 1996 list published in the September 26, 
1996, Federal Register.
    The 1997 Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities List was 
prepared in consultation with the U.S. General Accounting Office.
