Federal Regulations; AID Regulatory Agenda Semiannual Summary

AGENCY: Agency for International Development, IDCA.

ACTION: Publication of the semiannual agenda of Federal regulations and 
regulatory plan.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Agency for International Development (AID) is publishing 
this agenda as required by Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning 
and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act. This agenda reports the status of those regulations 
currently under review and gives AID's plan for the issuance of 
proposed regulations during the next 12 months. It is expected that the 
information provided in this agenda will enable the public to be more 
aware of and to participate more effectively in AID's regulatory 
process.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

General: For further information on the agenda or the review list in 
general, contact: Genease E. Pettigrew, Chief, Information Support 
Services Division, Office of Administrative Services, Bureau for 
Management, Agency for International Development, Washington, DC 20523; 
telephone (202) 736-4743.

Specific: For further information about any particular item on the 
agenda, contact the individual listed as the contact for that item.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866 and the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act require the semiannual publication in the Federal 
Register of an agenda of regulations. The Regulatory Flexibility Act 
applies only to regulations for which a notice of proposed rulemaking 
was issued on or after September 19, 1980. AID is required to publish 
an agenda listing all the regulations it expects to propose or 
promulgate that are likely to have a ``significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.'' The Executive order became 
effective on September 30, 1993, and it is required that AID publish a 
listing of all the regulations it expects to have under active 
consideration for promulgation, proposal, or review during the coming 
1-year period.

Dated: September 20, 1995.

Larry Byrne,

Assistant Administrator for Management.
