SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
552(a)(1), requires Federal agencies to publish in the Federal Register

been integrated into the Economic Research Service (ERS), USDA. This

OE may be obtained through the ERS Administrator pursuant to 7 CFR Part
3700.
This rule relates to internal agency management. Therefore,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity
for comment are not required, and this rule may be made effective less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Further, since
this rule relates to internal agency management, it is exempt from the
provisions of Executive Orders 12988 and 12866. Also, this rule will
not cause a significant economic impact or other substantial effect on
small entities. Therefore, the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., do not apply.
