-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document revises the delegations of authority from the
Secretary of Agriculture and general officers of the Department to
change the name of the Food and Consumer Service to the Food and
Nutrition Service.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The agency name of the Food and Consumer
Service was changed to its former name of the Food and Nutrition
Service by order of the Secretary of Agriculture on November 25, 1997.
The purpose of the final rule is to change the name of the Food and
Consumer Service to the Food and Nutrition Service in the delegations
of authority from the Secretary, through the Under Secretary for Food,
Nutrition, and Consumer Services to the Administrator of the Food and
Consumer Service.
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 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 Nos. 12866 and 12988. Finally, this
action is not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. et seq.) and the Small Business Regulatory Fairness Enforcement
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et. seq.) and, thus, is exempt from their provisions.
