Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: Peace Corps.

ACTION: Publication of semiannual agenda.

______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: This agenda announces the regulations the Peace Corps will 
have under development during the 12-month period from April 1, 1995, 
through March 30, 1996. The purpose for publishing this agenda is to 
give notice of any regulatory activity by the Agency in order to allow 
the public an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The public is encouraged to contact 
the agency official listed for the particular agenda item. For other 
information concerning Peace Corps' regulations or this semiannual 
agenda, contact Brian J. Sexton, General Counsel, Peace Corps, 1990 K 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20526, (202) 606-3114.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Executive Order 12866 
entitled ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' and the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, executive agencies are required to 
publish in the Federal Register semiannual regulatory agendas in April 
and October of each year. The regulations being considered by the Peace 
Corps are not ``significant'' rules within the meaning of Executive 
Order 12866, and no regulatory impact analysis is required. In 
addition, the Peace Corps has determined, under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, that the regulations under consideration will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. Accordingly, no Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is required. 
The Agency has also determined that the regulations will not impose 
compliance costs or reporting burdens on the public.

Dated: February 16, 1995.

Brian J. Sexton,

General Counsel.
