(IG Act), this notice provides a list of Designated Federal Entities 
and Federal Entities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Office of Federal Financial 
Management, Office of Management and Budget, at (202) 395-3993.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice provides a copy of the 2004 List 
of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities which, under the IG 
Act, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to publish

    The list is divided into two groups: Designated Federal Entities 
and Federal Entities. Designated Federal Entities are listed in the IG 
Act, except for those agencies that have ceased to exist or that have 
been deleted from the list. The Designated Federal Entities are 
required to establish and maintain Offices of Inspector General to: (1) 
Conduct and supervise audits and investigations relating to programs 
and operations; (2) promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of, 
and to prevent and detect fraud and abuse in such programs and 
operations; and (3) provide a means of keeping the entity head and the 
Congress fully and currently informed about problems and deficiencies 
relating to the administration of such programs and operations and the 
necessity for, and progress of, corrective actions.
    Federal Entities are defined, in section 8G(a)(1) of the Inspector 
General Act, 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, but does not include:
    (1) An establishment (as defined in section 11(2) of the Inspector 
General Act) or part of an establishment;
    (2) A designated Federal entity (as defined in section 8G(a)(2) of 
the Inspector General Act) or part of a designated Federal entity;
    (3) The Executive Office of the President;
    (4) The Central Intelligence Agency;
    (5) The Government Accountability Office; or
    (6) Any entity in the judicial or legislative branches of the 
Government, including the Administrative Office of the United States 
Courts and the Architect of the Capitol and any activities under the 
direction of the Architect of the Capitol.
    Federal Entities are required to report annually to each House of 
the Congress and OMB on audit and investigative activities in their 
organizations.
    For the Designated Federal Entities list for 2004, there is one 
addition (the Broadcasting Board of Governors succeeded the Board for 
International Broadcasting) and one amendment (the designated entity 
head of Amtrak was changed to the Chairperson who is the chief 
policymaking officer), for a total of two changes to the 2003 list. For 
the Federal Entities list for 2004, there are four additions (the Court 
Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia, 
the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the U.S. Interagency Council on 
Homelessness, and the White House Commission on the National Moment of 
Remembrance) and three deletions (the Commission on

[[Page 4158]]

Ocean Policy, the Office of Independent Counsels, and the Pacific 
Charter Commission), for a total of seven changes to the 2003 list.
    The 2004 List of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities 
was prepared in consultation with the U.S. Government Accountability 
Office.
