Executive Agency

AGENCY: U.S. Agency for International Development.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Agency for International Development (``USAID'') is 
amending its chapter in the Code of Federal Regulations (``CFR'') to 
delete the reference to the U.S. International Development Cooperation 
Agency (``IDCA''). Under the provisions of the Foreign Affairs Reform 
and Restructuring Act of 1998, IDCA was abolished and USAID was 
established as an Executive agency, effective April 1, 1999.

DATES: Effective April 1, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jan Miller, Office of General Counsel,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the provisions of the Foreign Affairs 
Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, as contained in Public Law 105-
277, IDCA was abolished and USAID was established as an Executive 
agency, effective April 1, 1999.
    The abolition of IDCA does not affect the status and validity of 
USAID regulations, directives, rulings, policies; they continue in 
effect.
    This is a procedural rule exempt from notice and comment under 5 
U.S.C. 533(b)(3)(a). This rule is not a significant rule for purposes 
of Executive Order 12866 and has not been reviewed by the Office of 
Management and Budget. This rule does not have a significant impact on 
small business entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    For the reasons set forth in the preamble and under the authority 
of 22 U.S.C. 2381, revise the heading of chapter II of title 22 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations to read as follows:
