AGENCY:

Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

This notice provides a list of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities, as required by the Inspector General Act of 1978 (IG Act), as subsequently amended.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Office of Federal Financial Management, Office of Management and Budget, at 202-395-3993.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This notice provides a copy of the 2003 List of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities, which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to publish annually under the IG Act. This list is also posted on the OMB Web site at http://www.whitehouse.gov/​financial.

The list is divided into two groups: Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities. The Designated Federal Entities are required to establish and maintain Offices of Inspector General. The Designated Federal Entities are listed in the IG Act, except that those agencies which have ceased to exist or have changed status have been deleted from the list.

Federal Entities are required to report annually to each House of the Congress and OMB on audit and investigative activities in their organizations. Federal Entities are defined as any Government corporation (within the meaning of section 103(1) of title 5, United States Code), any Government controlled corporation (within the meaning of section 103(2) of such title), or any other entity in the Executive Branch of government, or any independent regulatory agency” other than the Executive Office of the President and agencies with statutory Inspectors General. For 2003, there is one addition to the Designated Federal Entities list (Election Assistance Commission) and two deletions to the Federal Entities list (the Export-Import Bank now has a Inspector General nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science was not funded in 2003), for a total of three changes from the 2002 list.

The 2003 List of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities was prepared in consultation with the U.S. General Accounting Office.

Controller, Office of Federal Financial Management.
