31 CFR Part 361
Claims Pursuant to the Government Losses in Shipment Act
AGENCY: Bureau of the Public Debt, Fiscal Service, Department of the
Treasury.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule amends 31 CFR Part 361 to reflect the change
of address which resulted when the Bureau of the Public Debt's Division
of Financial Management was moved from Washington, D.C. to Parkersburg,
West Virginia.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 7, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Yoke Martin, Attorney-Adviser,
Office of the Chief Counsel, Bureau of the Public Debt, Parkersburg,
WV, at 304-480-5197, or via the Internet at lmartin@bpd.treas.gov, or
Kila Frank, CFO Coordinator, Division of Financial Management, Bureau

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Bureau of the Public Debt has consolidated many of its
functions and offices, including its Division of Financial Management,
into its offices in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Accordingly, reports
and claims pursuant to the Government Losses in Shipment Act should now
be sent directly to the Division's Parkersburg address.
Procedural Requirements
This final rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' pursuant
to Executive Order 12866. This final rule merely reflects the change of
address which resulted when the Bureau of the Public Debt's Division of
Financial Management was moved from Washington, DC to Parkersburg, WV.
Accordingly, notice and public procedure thereon is unnecessary.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good cause is found for making this
rule effective upon publication. As no notice of proposed rulemaking is
required, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.
601, et seq.) do not apply. There are no collections of information
required by this rule, and, therefore, the Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply.
