Federal Regulations; USAID Regulatory Agenda Semiannual Summary

AGENCY: Agency for International Development, IDCA.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 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 USAID'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 
USAID'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, U.S. Agency for International Development, Washington, DC 
20523; telephone (202) 736-4743, e-mail address [email protected].

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. USAID 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 USAID publish 
a listing of all the regulations it expects to have under active 
consideration for proposal or review during the coming 1-year period.

Dated: September 17, 1996.

Margaret Thome,

Director, Bureau for Management, Office of Administrative Services.
