USDA agencies follow upon receipt of a
request for an authenticated copy of an

authorizes the Inspector General to
authenticate copies of documents in the
records of the Office of Inspector
General (OIG).
DATES: Effective November 27, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 7 CFR
1.22 provides that when a USDA agency
receives a request for an authenticated
copy of an agency document, the agency
will send a correct copy to the Office of
the General Counsel (OGC). If
appropriate, OGC will authenticate the
document by certifying that the copy is
correct and affixing the USDA seal on
the document. The regulation makes an
exception for two offices within USDA:
(1) The Hearing Clerk in the Office of
Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) may
authenticate copies of documents in the
records of the Hearing Clerk; and (2) the
Director of the National Appeals
Division (NAD) may authenticate copies
of documents in the records of the NAD.
This amendment provides that the
Inspector General may authenticate
copies of documents in the records of
OIG.
Pursuant to section 2 of the Inspector
General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App. 3),
Congress established Offices of
Inspectors General to serve as
independent and objective units within
Government departments and agencies
that would promote economy,
efficiency, and effectiveness in the
administration of, and prevent and
detect fraud and abuse in, the programs
and operations of such departments and
agencies. Toward that end, the USDA–
OIG conducts investigations, audits,
inspections, and reviews related to
USDA programs and operations, and
prepares reports and other documents
setting forth the results of such
investigations, audits, inspections, and
reviews.
OIG controls the distribution and
release of its documents in response to
requests pursuant to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the
