    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
        On January 25, 1995, OPM published a list of agents designated to 
    receive legal process in garnishment actions where the indebtedness was 
    based on child support and/or alimony. Subsequent to publication, we 
    were advised by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service that they 
    had consolidated certain offices and requested that we correct our 
    final rule. This correction is in compliance with this request. This 
    document also corrects designated agent information received from 
    several other agencies who found errors in the January 25, 1995 
    publication.
        More specifically, this document amends the ``General Notice for 
    Certain Civilian Employees of the Army and the Navy'' under the 
    Department of Defense listing to include civilian employees of the Army 
    and Navy who are paid by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service--
    Denver Center; corrects the address for the designated agent under that 
    heading; and amends the designated agent under the Air Force for Air 
    Force Active Duty, Reserve, Air National Guard (ANG), and civilian 
    employees of appropriated fund activities. In addition, this document 
    corrects the agent listings for the Defense Mapping Agency, the Energy 
    Department's Oakland Operations Office; the Department of Veterans 
    Affairs' Sioux Falls Medical and Regional Office Center in South 
    Dakota; the Federal Maritime Commission; and the Small Business 
    Administration. This document also deletes the listing for the 
    International Trade Commission.
