Conference members are Federal officials, private lawyers, university professors, and other exper ts in administrative law and government who meet to consider studies of selected problems involving administrative procedures and the regulatory process. They combine their experience and judgment in cooperative efforts toward improving the fairness and e ffectiveness of agency procedures. The Administrative Conference of the United States was established as a permanent independent agency by the Administrative Conference Act (5 U.S.C. 591-596) enacted in 1964. The statutory provisions prescribing the organization and activities of the Conference are based in part upon the experience of two temporary Conferences called by the President in 1953 and 1961, each of which operated for 18 months. Membership By statute the Administrative Conference has no fewer than 75 and no more than 101 members, a majority of whom are Government officials. The Chairman of the Conference is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate for a 5-year term. The Council, which acts as the executive board, consists of the Chairman and 10 other members appointed by the President for 3-year terms. Federal officials named to the Council may constitute no more than one-half of the total Council membe rship. In addition to the Chairman and the Council, the membership of the Conference is composed of high-level officials designated from the principal departments and agencies of the Federal Government and private lawyers, university faculty members, and others specially informed in law and government. Members representing the private sector are appointed by the Chairman, with the approval of the Council, for 2-year terms. The Chairman is the only full-time compensated member. The entire membership is divided into committees, each assigned a broad area of interest such as adjudication, administration, governmental processes, judicial review, regulation, or rulemaking. The membership meeting in plenary session is calle d the Assembly of the Conference, which by statute must meet at least once, and customarily meets twice, each year. Activities Subjects for inquiry are developed by the Chairman and approved by the Council. The committees, overseen by the Research Director with assistance from consultants, conduct thorough studies of these subjects, propose recommendations, and prepare supporting reports. Recommendations are evaluated by the Council and, if ready for Assembly consideration, are distributed to the membership with the supporting reports and placed on the agenda of the next plenary session. The Assembly has complete author ity to approve, amend, remand, or reject recommendations presented by the committees. The deliberations of the committees and Assembly are public.

A substantial number of recommendations have been implemented and others are in the process of being implemented. The Chairman may make independent inquiries into procedural matters, including matters proposed by individuals inside or outside the Government. The purpose of such inquiries is to determine whether the problems should be made the subject of Con ference study in the interest of developing fair and effective procedures for such cases. Upon the request of the head of a department or agency, the Chairman is authorized to furnish advice and assistance on matters of administrative procedure. The Conference may collect information and statistics from departments and agencies and p ublish such reports as it considers useful for evaluating and improving administrative processes. The Conference also serves as a forum for the interchange among departments and agencies of information that may be useful in improving administrative practi ces and procedures.

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION 2033 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20581 Phone, 202-254-6387 Chairman ........Barbara P. Holum, Acting Commissioners ........Joseph B. Dial, Shelia C. Bair, John E. Tull, Jr., (vacancy) General Counsel ........Pat G. Nicolette, Acting Executive Director ........Donald L. Tendick, Acting [For the Commodity Futures Trading Commission statement of organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 17, Part 140] @U1 [Insert Commodity Futures Trading Commission chart]@U0 The Commodity Futures Trading Commission promotes healthy economic growth, protects the rights of customers, and ensures fairness and integrity in the marketplace through regulation of futures trading. To this end, it also engages in the analysis of econo mic issues affected by or affecting futures trading. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal regulatory agency for futures trading, was established by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act of 1974 (7 U.S.C. 4a). The Commission began operation in April 1975, and its authority to regulate futures trading was renewed by Congress in 1978, 1982, 1986, and 1992. The Commission consists of five Commissioners who are appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. One Commissioner is designated by the President to serve as Chairman. The Commissioners serve staggered 5-year terms, an d by law no more than three Commissioners can belong to the same political party. The five major operating components that exist within the Commission are: the divisions of enforcement, economic analysis, trading and markets, and the offices of the executive director and the general counsel. Activities The Commission regulates trading on the 11 U.S. futures exchanges, which offer active futures and options contracts. It also regulates the activities of numerous commodity exchange members, public brokerage houses (futures commission merchants), Commission-registered futures industry salespeople and associated persons, commodity trading advisers, and commodity pool operators. Some off-exchange transactions involving instruments similar in nature to futures contracts also fall under Commission ju risdiction. The Commission's regulatory and enforcement efforts are designed to ensure that the futures trading process is fair and that it protects both the rights of customers and the financial integrity of the marketplace. It approves the rules under which an exchange proposes to operate and monitors exchange enforcement of those rules. It reviews the terms of proposed futures contracts, and registers companies and individuals who handle customer funds or give trading advice. The Commission also protects the public by enforcing rules that require that customer funds be kept in bank accounts separate from accounts maintained by firms for their own use, and that such customer accounts be marked to present market value at the close of trading each day. Futures contracts for agricultural commodities were traded in the United States for more than 100 years before futures trading was diversified to include trading in contracts for precious metals, raw materials, foreign currencies, financial inst ruments, commercial interest rates, and U.S. Government and mortgage securities. Contract diversification has grown in exchange trading, in both traditional and newer commodities. Large regional offices are maintained in Chicago, IL, and New York, NY, where many of the Nation's futures exchanges are located. Smaller regional offices are located in Kansas City, MO, and Los Angeles, CA. A suboffice of the Kansas City region al office is located in Minneapolis, MN.

The Agency's mission is to control and abate pollution in the areas of air, water , solid waste, pesticides, radiation, and toxic substances. Its mandate is to mount an integrated, coordinated attack on environmental pollution in cooperation with State and local governments. The Environmental Protection Agency was established in the executive branch as an independent agency pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective December 2, 1970. The Environmental Protection Agency was created to permit coordinated and effective governmental action on behalf of the environment. It endeavors to abate and control pollution systematically, by proper integration of a variety of research, mon itoring, standard setting, and enforcement activities. As a complement to its other activities, the Agency coordinates and supports research and antipollution activities by State and local governments, private and public groups, individuals, and education al institutions. It also reinforces efforts among other Federal agencies with respect to the impact of their operations on the environment, and it is specifically charged with publishing its determinations when those hold that a proposal is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of public health or welfare or environmental quality. In all, the Environmental Protection Agency is designed to serve as the public's advocate for a livable environment. Activities Air and Radiation The air activities of the Agency include: -- development of national programs, technical policies, and regulations for air pollution control; -- enforcement of standards; -- development of national standards for air quality, emission standards for new stationary and mobile sources, and emission standards for hazardous pollutants; -- technical direction, support, and evaluation of regional air activities; and -- provision of training in the field of air pollution control.

Matthews Director, Legal Counsel ........Elizabeth Thornton, Acting Director, Office of Management ........Kassie Billingsley, Acting Director, Office of Program Operations ........James Troy Director, Office of Federal Operations ........Ronnie Blumenthal Inspector General ........William D. Miller The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission eliminates discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age in hiring, promoting, firing, setting wages, testing, training, apprenticeship, and all other terms and conditio ns of employment. The Commission conducts investigations of alleged discrimination; makes determinations based on gathered evidence; attempts conciliation when discrimination has taken place; files lawsuits; and conducts voluntary assistance programs for employers, unions, and community organizations. The Commission also has oversight responsibility for all compliance and enforcement activities relating to equal employment opportunity among Federal employees and applicants, including discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was created by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-4), and became operational July 2, 1965. Title VII was amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, the Preg nancy Discrimination Act of 1978, and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Executive Order 12067 of June 30, 1978, abolished the Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinating Council and transferred its duties to the Commission with responsibility for providing coherence and direction to the Government's equal employment o pportunity efforts. This Executive order requires that strong uniform enforcement standards be applied throughout the Government, and it encourages the development of standardized data collection procedures and joint training programs, the sharing of enfo rcement-related data among agencies, and the development of uniform methods and priorities for complaint and compliance reviews. Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978 (5 U.S.C. app.) effective January 1, 1979, transferred Federal equal employment functions from the Civil Service Commission to the EEOC. Authorities for transferred functions include: -- section 717 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-16), which prohibits discrimination in employment in the Federal Government on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; -- Executive Order 11478 of August 8, 1969, which sets forth the U.S. policy of providing for equal employment opportunity in the Federal Government through affirmative action programs in Federal departments and agencies; -- the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206) in the Federal sector; -- section 15 of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (29 U.S.C. 621) in the Federal sector; and -- section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791), which pertains to employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities in the Federal Government. On July 1, 1979, responsibility for enforcement -- in private industry as well as in State and local governments -- of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was transferred from the Department of Labor to the Commission. The former act prohibits sex-based pay differences where substantially equal work performed in the same establishment under similar working conditions requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility; and the latter prohibits employment d iscrimination against workers or applicants 40 years of age or older. In addition to employers, the age discrimination act covers activities of employment agencies, and both acts cover activities of labor organizations. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.) was approved on July 26, 1990. Title I of the act has been enforced by EEOC since July 26, 1992, for employers with 25 or more employees; and will become effective on Ju ly 26, 1994, for employers with 15 or more employees. Title I governs private employers, State and local governments, employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-management committees. The act prohibits employment discrimination against qual ified individuals with disabilities and requires that employers make reasonable accommodations for such qualified individuals if it would not create undue hardship. The Civil Rights Act of 1991 reversed parts of several U.S. Supreme Court rulings and provided for compensatory and punitive damages for intentional discrimination under Title VII of that act and the ADA. The Commission operates through 50 field offices, each of which processes charges. Activities Enforcement The Commission's field offices receive charges of job discrimination under Title VII, the ADA, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Field offices may initiate investigations to find violations of the acts. Members of the Commission also may initiate charges alleging that a violation of Title VII or the ADA has occurred. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 covers Federal employees and applicants only. Charges Under Title VII Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin by private employers, State and local governments, and educational institutions with 15 or more employees, or by the Federal Gove rnment, private and public employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-management committees for apprenticeship and training. Charges of Title VII violations outside of the Federal sector must be filed with the Commission within 180 days of the alleged violation (or up to 300 days in a State or locality in which a fair employment practices agency is located), and the C ommission is responsible for notifying persons so charged within 10 days of the receipt of a new charge. Before investigation, charges must be deferred for 60 days to a State or local fair employment practices agency in States and municipalities where the re is a fair employment practices law covering the alleged discrimination. The deferral period is 120 days if the agency has been operating less than 1 year. Under worksharing agreements executed between the Commission and State and local fair employment practices agencies, the Commission routinely will assume jurisdiction over certain charges of discrimination and proceed with its investigation rather than wait for the expiration of the deferral period. If there is reasonable cause to believe the charge is true, the district, area, or local office attempts to remedy the alleged unlawful practices through informal methods of conciliation, conference, and persuasion. If an acceptable conciliation agreement is not secured, the case is submitted to the Commission for possible litigation. If litigation is approved, the Commission will bring suit in an appropriate Federal district court. Under Title VII, the Attorney General brings suit when a State or local government, or political subdivision is involved. If the Commission or the Attorney General does not approve litigation or if a finding of no reasonable cause is made, at th e conclusion of the administrative procedures (or earlier at the request of the charging party) a Notice of Right-to-Sue is issued that allows the charging party to proceed within 90 days in a Federal district court. In appropriate cases, the Commission m ay intervene in such civil action if the case is of general public interest. The investigation and conciliation of charges having an industrywide or national impact are coordinated or conducted by Systemic Investigations and Individual Compliance Programs , Office of Program Operations. Under the provisions of Title VII, section 706(f)(2), as amended by section 4 of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-5), if it is concluded after a preliminary investigation that prompt judicial action is necessary to c arry out the purposes of the act, the Commission or the Attorney General, in a case involving a State or local government, governmental agency or political subdivision, may bring an action for appropriate temporary or preliminary relief pending final disp osition of a charge. Americans with Disabilities Act Charges The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 specifically incorporates the powers, remedies, and procedures contained in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Employment discrimination charges based on disabilit y may be filed at any of the Commission's field offices. The Commission will investigate and attempt to conciliate the charges using the same procedures it uses to investigate and conciliate charges filed under Title VII. The litigation procedures under t his title apply to charges filed under the act. Age Discrimination in Employment or Equal Pay Act Charges and Complaints The age discrimination in employment and equal pay acts cover most employees and job applicants in private industry and Federal, State, and local governments. An age discrimination charge must be filed with the Commission within 180 days of the alleged violation or, in a case where the alleged discriminatory action took place in a State which has its own age discrimination law and authority administer ing that law, within 300 days of the alleged violation or 30 days after the receipt of a notice of termination of State proceedings, whichever is earlier. A lawsuit must be filed within 2 years of the discriminatory act or 3 years in cases of a willful vi olation of the law. Under the Civil Rights Act of 1991, a lawsuit must be filed within 90 days of the plaintiff's receipt of notice of final action. The Commission will attempt to eliminate the unlawful practice through informal methods of conciliation, c onference, and persuasion. A lawsuit may be brought by the Commission if conciliation fails, or individuals may file suit on their own behalf 90 days after filing a charge with the Commission and the appropriate State agency. Should the Commission take le gal action, an individual covered by such action may not file a private suit. If an individual files a complaint of age discrimination, his or her name will be kept confidential, but the individual filing the complaint may not bring a private suit unless he or she elects to file a charge first in accordance with the above requirements. A lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 may be filed by the Commission or by the complainant. There are no prerequisites to individual actions under this law. Wages may be recovered for a period of up to 2 years prior to the filing of a suit, except in the case of willful violation, where 3 years' backpay may be recovered. The name of the individual filing the complaint may be kept confidential at the administrative level. Complaints Against the Federal Government On April 10, 1992, the Commission published new Federal sector processing regulations codified at 29 CFR 1614, effective October 1, 1992. Federal employees or job applicants who want to file complaints of job disc rimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, or physical or mental disability must first consult an equal employment opportunity counselor within their agency within 45 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory event or the effe ctive date of the alleged discriminatory personnel action. If the complaint cannot be resolved informally, the person may file a formal complaint within 15 calendar days after the date of receipt of the notice of the right to file a complaint. An accepted complaint is investigated by the agency and there is a right to a hearing before an EEOC administrative judge before the agency issues its final decision. An individual who wishes to file a complaint under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 m ust now follow these procedures. An individual may also elect to file suit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 without prior resort to the agency or to the Commission. A complaint under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 against a Federal agency or department must be filed with the head of the agency, director of equal employment opportunity, head of a field installation, or such other officials as the agency may designate. Federal-sector age discrimination complainants may bypass the administrative complaint process and file a civil action directly in a U.S. district court by first notifying the Commission within 180 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory act and thereafter waiting 30 calendar days before filing suit. Federal employees may file appeals of final agency decisions or decisions of an arbitrator or the Federal Labor Relations Authority with the Commission's Office of Federal Operations at any time up to 30 calendar days after receipt of the agency notice of final decision. A petition for review of a Merit Systems Protection Board decision may be filed within 30 days of the date that the Board decision becomes final. A request for reopening and reconsideration of any decision of the Commission shou ld be made in writing within 30 days of receipt of such decision. Office of Federal Operations decisions are issued in writing to the complainant, complainant's representative, and the agency. The Office monitors and ensures compliance by Federal agencies with Commission orders and appellate decisions, and provides technical assistance and training to other Federal agencies. Other Activities The Commission actively promotes voluntary compliance with equal employment opportunity statutes through a variety of educational and technical assistance activities. A distinct activity of the Commission is the Voluntary Assistance Progr am. This outreach program is designed to provide educational and technical assistance to small and midsize employers and unions -- through 1-day seminars on equal employment opportunity laws -- about their rights and obligations under all the statutes tha t the Commission enforces. Another activity initiated by the Commission is the Expanded Presence Program, which is designed to make the Commission accessible in areas identified as underserved by Commission offices. The district offices send contact teams to these sites o n a rotating basis to provide information to the public regarding their rights and responsibilities under the laws enforced by the Commission. The Commission also provides assistance and guidance to Federal agencies in processing complaints and in resolving disputes. In addition to conducting on-site consultations, EEOC co-hosts an annual Federal Dispute Resolution Conference which pro vides a forum for Federal agencies to meet and exchange ideas on resolving disputes. Through its Educational Technical Assistance and Training Revolving Fund, the Commission is also able to provide its constituency with advanced and specialized technical assistance. Fees charged for Revolving Fund products are not to exceed the cost of producing the materials of services provided; however, they are to bear a direct relationship to the cost of providing such outreach and are to be imposed on a uniform basis. The Commission participates in the development of the employment discrimination law through the issuance of guidelines, publication of significant Commission decisions, and involvement in litigation brought under Title VII, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The Commission has direct liaison with Federal, State, and local governments; employers and union organizations; trade associations; civil rights organizations; and other agencies and organizations concerned with employment of minority group mem bers and women. The Commission engages in and contributes to the cost of research and other mutual interest projects with State and local agencies charged with the administration of fair employment practices laws. Furthermore, the Commission enters into c ontracts and worksharing agreements with State and local agencies in order to avoid duplication of effort by identifying specific charges to be investigated by the respective agencies. The Commission is also a major publisher of data on the employment status of minorities and women. Through six employment surveys (EEO-1 through EEO-6) covering private employers, apprenticeship programs, labor unions, State and local government s, elementary and secondary schools, and colleges and universities, the Commission tabulates and stores data on the ethnic, racial, and sex composition of employees at all job levels within the reported groups. Research information thus collected is shared with selected Federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and others. It is also made available, in appropriate form, for public use. ---------------------------(TABLE START)--------------------------- Field Offices -- Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (DO: District Office; AO: Area Office; LO: Local Office; FO: Field Office) head level 1 :Office head level 1 :Address head level 1 :Director head level 1 :Telephone ----------------------------------------------------------------- Albuquerque, NM (DO) .......

Bond [For the Export-Import Bank of the United States statement of organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Part 401] The Export-Import Bank of the United States facilitates and aids in financing exports of U.S. goods and services. The Bank has implemented a variety of programs to meet the needs of the U.S. exporting community. These programs take the form of direct lend ing or the issuance of guarantees and insurance so that exporters and private banks can extend appropriate financing without taking undue risks. The Export-Import Bank of Washington was authorized in 1934 as a banking corporation organized under the laws of the District of Columbia by Executive Order 6581 of February 2, 1934. The Bank was continued as an agency of the United States by ac ts of Congress in 1935, 1937, 1939, and 1940. It was made an independent agency of the U.S. Government by the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945 (12 U.S.C. 635), subsequently amended in 1947 to reincorporate the Bank under Federal charter. The name was change d to Export-Import Bank of the United States (Eximbank) by the act of March 13, 1968 (12 U.S.C. 635 note). The principal legislation governing the Bank's operations is the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended. The mission of the Bank is to help American exporters meet government-supported competition from other countries and to correct market imperfections so that commercial export financing can take place. The Export-Import Bank will consider aiding in the export financing of U.S. goods and services when there is a reasonable assurance of repayment. Eximbank is not to compete with private financing, but supplement it when adequate funds are not av ailable in the private sector. Activities The Bank is authorized to have outstanding at any one time dollar loans, guarantees, and insurance in aggregate amount not in excess of $75 billion. The Bank also is authorized to have a capital stock of $1 billion and to borrow from the United States Treasury up to $6 billion outstanding at any one time. Subsidy costs of the Bank's programs are appropriated on an annual basis. Eximbank operates a loan program and a guarantee program for both medium- and long-term export transactions. Both programs, providing up to 85-percent financing, operate on the basis of preliminary and final commitments and are open to any respo nsible party. Eximbank loans also carry the minimum interest rate allowed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. All fee schedules are based on risk. Eximbank acts to reduce the risks of buyer default for American exporters under a variety of insurance programs. Eximbank's policies insure against risks of default in export transactions and are available in a variety of insurance plans that ar e tailored to the special needs of different types of exporters and financial institutions. The Bank's other programs are designed primarily to benefit small business exporters, including the Working Capital Guarantee Program, a loan guarantee program designed to provide eligible exporters with access to working capital loans from comm ercial lenders. There is also an Engineering Multiplier Program, which provides financing in support of project-related design services or feasibility studies with potential for generating further procurement of American exports.

Edwards [For the Farm Credit Administration statement of organization, see the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 12, Parts 600 and 611] @U1 [Insert Farm Credit Administration chart]@U0 The Farm Credit Administration is responsible for ensuring the safe and sound operation of the banks, associations, affiliated service organizations, and other entities that collectively comprise what is known as the Farm Credit System, and for protecting the interests of the public and those who borrow from Farm Credit institutions or invest in Farm Credit securities. The Farm Credit Administration was established as an independent financial regulatory agency in the executive branch of the Federal Government by the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (12 U.S.C. 2241 et seq.). The Administration carries out its responsibi lities by conducting examinations of the various Farm Credit lending institutions, which are Farm Credit Banks, Banks for Cooperatives, the National Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Land Bank Associations, Production Credit Associations, Agricultural Credit Associations, and Federal Land Credit Associations. It also examines the service organizations owned by the Farm Credit lending institutions, as well as the National Consumer Cooperative Bank (also known as the National Cooperative Bank (NCB)) and its su bsidiaries, including the NCB Development Corporation. Management of the agency is vested in the Farm Credit Administration Board, whose three full-time members are appointed to 6-year terms by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. One member of the Board is designated by the Pre sident as Chairman and serves as the Administration's chief executive officer. The Board is responsible for approving rules and regulations, providing for the examination and regulation of and reporting by Farm Credit institutions, and establishing the po licies under which the Administration operates. Board meetings are regularly held on the second Thursday of the month and are subject to the Government in the Sunshine Act. Public announcements of these meetings are published in the Federal Register. The lending institutions of the Farm Credit System were established to provide adequate and dependable credit and closely related services to farmers, ranchers, and producers or harvesters of aquatic products; persons engaged in providing on-the -farm services; rural homeowners; and associations of farmers, ranchers, and producers or harvesters of aquatic products, or federations of such associations that operate on a cooperative basis and are engaged in marketing, processing, supply, or business service functions for the benefit of their members. Initially capitalized by the United States Government, the Farm Credit lending institutions are organized as cooperatives and are completely owned by their borrowers. The loan funds provided to borrower s by these institutions are obtained primarily through the sale of securities to investors in the Nation's capital markets. The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, as amended (12 U.S.C. 2279aa-1), established the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (commonly known as ``Farmer Mac''). The Corporation, designated as part of the Farm Credit System, is a federally ch artered instrumentality of the United States and promotes the development of a secondary market for agricultural real estate and rural housing loans. Farmer Mac also provides guarantees for the timely payment of principal and interest on securities, repre senting interests in or obligations backed by pools of agricultural real estate loans. The Administration is responsible for the examination and regulation of Farmer Mac to ensure the safety and soundness of its operations. The Administration administers regulations under which Farm Credit institutions operate. These regulations implement the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended, and have the force and effect of law. Similar to other Federal regulators of financial institutions, the Administration's authorities include the power to issue cease-and-desist orders, to levy civil monetary penalties, to remove officers and directors of Farm Credit institutions, and to establish financial and operating reporting requireme nts. Although it is prohibited from participation in routine management or operations of Farm Credit institutions, the Administration is authorized to become involved in these institutions' management and operations when the Farm Credit Act or its regulat ions have been violated, when taking an action to correct an unsafe or unsound practice, or when assuming a formal conservatorship over an institution. The Administration does not operate on funds appropriated by Congress. Its income is derived from assessments collected from the institutions it regulates and examines. In addition to the headquarters office located in McLean, VA, the Administra tion maintains 8 field offices. They are located in Albany, NY; Aurora, CO; Bloomington, MN; Irving, TX; Marietta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Sacramento, CA; and St. Louis, MO. Authority for the organization and activities of the institutions comprising the cooperative Farm Credit System and that operate under the regulation of the Farm Credit Administration may be found in the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended (12 U .S.C. 2001).

It is responsible for the orderly development and operation of broadcast services and the provision of rapid, efficient nationwide and worldwide telephone and telegraph services at reasonable rates. Its responsibilities also include the use of communications for promoting safety of life and property and for strengthening the national defense. The Federal Communications Commission was created by the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) to regulate interstate and foreign communications by wire and radio in the public interest. It was assigned additional regulatory jurisdi ction under the provisions of the Communications Satellite Act of 1962 (47 U.S.C. 701-744). The scope of its regulation includes radio and television broadcasting; telephone, telegraph, and cable television operation; two-way radio and radio operators; an d satellite communication. The Commission is composed of five members, who are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. One of the members is designated by the President as Chairman. In administering the programs necessary to carry out its regulatory responsibility, the Commission is assisted by a General Counsel who, in addition to regular duties, represents the Commission before the United States Courts of Appeals; a Manag ing Director; a Director of Public Affairs; a Director of Legislative Affairs; a Director of International Communications, who ensures that the coordination and integration of the Commission's international policy activities are uniform and consistent, as sumes the principal role for representing the Commission in international fora, and serves as the general focus for coordinating and directing international activities; an Inspector General, who is responsible for coordinating and conducting all audits an d investigations relating to the programs and operations of the agency; a Chief Engineer; a Chief of Plans and Policy; and the Chiefs of five bureaus, to whom certain licensing and grant authority has been delegated. To assist the Commission in exercising its responsibility in the adjudicatory process, there is a Review Board to review initial decisions and write decisions and an Adjudication Division in the Office of the General Counsel to assist the Commis sion and individual Commissioners in the disposition of matters arising in cases of adjudication (as defined in the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. note prec. 551)) that have been designated for hearings. There also is a corps of administrative law judges, qualified and appointed pursuant to the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, who conduct evidentiary adjudicatory hearings and write initial decisions. Activities Mass Media The Mass Media Bureau administers the regulatory program for the following services: amplitude modulation (AM); frequency modulation (FM); television; low-power TV; translators; instructional TV and related broadcast auxiliary services; and dir ect broadcast satellite. The Bureau issues construction permits, operating licenses, and renewals or transfers of such broadcast licenses except for broadcast auxiliary services. The Bureau also oversees compliance by broadcasters with statutes and Commis sion policies. For further information, contact the Mass Media Bureau. Phone, 202-632-6460. Common Carrier Communications The Common Carrier Bureau administers the regulatory program for interstate and international common carrier communications by telephone, telegraph, radio, and satellite. Common carriers include companies, organizations, or i ndividuals providing communications services to the public for hire, who must serve all who wish to use them at established rates. In providing interstate and foreign communications services, common carriers may employ landline wire or electrical or optic al cable facilities, point-to-point microwave radio (signals relayed by stations spaced at given intervals), land mobile radio (two-way telephone or one-way signaling communications between base and mobile units), cellular systems, or satellite systems. C ommunications services between the United States and overseas points by common carriers are provided by ocean cable, high frequency radio, and satellite communications. For further information, contact the Common Carrier Bureau. Phone, 202-632-6910. Private Radio Communications The Private Radio Bureau regulates the use of the radio spectrum to fulfill the communications needs of businesses, State and local governments, aircraft, ships, and individuals. Over 3 million licensees use radio to promote s afety of life and property, to increase productivity, and to advance the science of telecommunications. The Private Radio Bureau regulates and licenses two broad groups of radio services: the land mobile and microwave radio services, and the special radio services. Land mobile and microwave radio services are used by public safety entities (police, fire, local government), industrial entities (businesses of all types, including public utilities), and land transportation entities (buses, railroads, taxicab s). Special radio services include the aviation service, the marine service, the Alaska fixed service, the amateur services, and the personal radio services (citizens' band, radio control, interactive video and data service, and general mobile). While tw o personal radio services, citizens (CB) and radio control (R/C), are regulated, licenses are not required. The Bureau also implements the compulsory provisions of laws and treaties covering the use of radio for the safety of life and property at sea and in the air. Radio Operators The commercial and amateur radio operator programs are administered by the Private Radio Bureau. For further information, contact the Private Radio Bureau. Phone, 202-632-6940. Cable Services Communications The Cable Services Bureau develops, recommends, and administers policies and programs for the regulation of cable television systems. The Bureau advises and recommends to the Commission, or acts for the Commission under deleg ated authority, in matters pertaining to the regulation and development of cable television. With its three divisions -- Consumer Protection, Competition, and Policy and Rules -- the Cable Services Bureau has the following duties and responsibilities: -- to investigate complaints and answer general inquiries from the public; -- to plan and develop proposed rulemakings and conduct comprehensive studies and analyses (legal, social, and economic) of various petitions for policy or rule changes; -- to process applications for authorizations in the cable television relay service; -- to participate in hearings before Administrative Law Judges, the Review Board, and the Commission; -- to conduct studies and compile data relating to the cable industry for the Commission to develop and maintain an adequate regulatory program; -- to collaborate and coordinate with State and local authorities in matters involving cable television systems; -- to advise and assist the public, other government agencies, and industry groups on cable television regulation and related matters; -- to oversee the direction of Bureau-wide administrative programs, including personnel management and equipment facilities support services; and -- to oversee the development and implementation of Bureau-wide management programs, including budget estimates and justifications and management analysis studies. Engineering and Technology The Office of Engineering and Technology administers the Table of Frequency Allocations which specifies the frequency ranges that can be utilized by various radio services. The Office also administers the Experimental Radio Serv ice and the Equipment Authorization Program. The Experimental Radio Service permits the public to experiment with new uses of radio frequencies. This allows development of radio equipment and exploration of new radio techniques prior to licensing under ot her regulatory programs. The Equipment Authorization Program includes several specific procedures by which the agency approves radio equipment as a prerequisite to importation, marketing, or use. The procedures range from Commission testing of an equipmen t sample for compliance with applicable standards, through FCC review of applications and accompanying test reports submitted by the applicants, to a self-authorization procedure whereby a manufacturer certifies that the product complies with the standard s. For further information, contact the Office of Engineering and Technology. Phone, 202-653-8103. Compliance Much of the investigative and enforcement work of the Commission is carried out by its field staff. The Field Operations Bureau has 6 regional offices and 35 field offices. It also operates a nationwide fleet of mobile radio direction-finding v ehicles for technical enforcement purposes. The field staff, in effect, are the Commission's ``eyes and ears'' in detecting radio violations and enforcing rules and regulations. Continuous surveillance of the radio spectrum is maintained to detect unlicen sed operation and activities or nonconforming transmissions, and to furnish radio bearings on ships and planes in distress. The Field Operations Bureau also administers public service programs aimed at educating Commission licensees, industry, and the gen eral public to improve compliance with FCC rules and regulations.
