SUMMARY:
2008 and 2009 List of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
This notice provides the 2008 and 2009 List of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities which, under the IG Act, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to publish. The 2007 List of Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities was published in the Federal Register on December 3, 2007 (72 FR 67,985). This list is also posted on the OMB Web site at http:// www.whitehouse.gov/omb. The list of Designated Federal Entities has been updated to reflect the: (1) deletion of the Federal Housing Finance Board (Pub. L. 110289, sec. 1311); and (2) replacement of the ``Chairperson'' with the ``Board'' as head of the National Credit Union Administration (12 U.S.C. 1752). The list of Federal Entities has been updated to reflect the: (1) Deletion of the National Commission on Library and Information Science (Pub. L. 110161, 121 Stat. 2204, Division G, Title V, Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008); (2) addition of the National Veterans Business Development Corporation; and entity head: Chairperson (Pub. L. 110161, 121 Stat. 1924, Division B, Title IV, Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008); and (3) addition of the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects; and entity head: Federal Coordinator (15 U.S.C. 720d).
The list is divided into two groups: Designated Federal Entities and Federal Entities. Designated Federal Entities are listed in the IG Act, except for those agencies that have ceased to exist or that have been deleted from the list. The Designated Federal Entities are required to establish and maintain Offices of Inspector General to: (1) Conduct and supervise audits and investigations relating to programs and operations; (2) promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of, and to prevent and detect fraud and abuse in such programs and operations; and (3) provide a means of keeping the entity head and the Congress fully and currently informed about problems and deficiencies relating to the administration of such programs and operations and the necessity for, and progress of, corrective actions.
Section 8G(a)(1) of the IG Act defines a ``Federal entity'' 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 the Government, or any independent regulatory agency, but does not include:
(1) An establishment (as defined in section 11(2) of this Act) or part of an establishment;
(2) A designated Federal entity [as defined in section 8G(a)(2) of the Act] or part of a designated Federal entity;
(3) The Executive Office of the President;
(4) The Central Intelligence Agency;
(5) The Government Accountability Office; or
(6) Any entity in the judicial or legislative branches of the
Government, including the Administrative Office of the United States
Courts and the Architect of the Capitol and any activities under the direction of the Architect of the Capitol.
Pursuant to section 8G(h)(2) of the IG Act, Federal Entities are
required to report annually to each House of the Congress and OMB on audit and investigative activities in their organizations.
