Department of Justice September 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 841(d) and 27 CFR 555.23, the Department must publish and revise at least annually in the Federal Register a list of explosives determined to be within the coverage of 18 U.S.C. 841 et seq. The list covers not only explosives, but also blasting agents and detonators, all of which are defined as explosive materials in 18 U.S.C. 841(c). This notice publishes the 2006 List of Explosive Materials.

This final rule amends the regulations of the Department of Justice to codify the obligation to report misconduct to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), to reflect the conferral of statutory law enforcement authority on OIG special agents, to update the structure, functions, and responsibilities of OPR, and to reflect the current organizational structure of the OIG.

This notice sets forth the schedule and proposed agenda of the forthcoming public meeting of the National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women (hereinafter ``the Committee'').

The Office of Justice Programs (``OJP'') is finalizing the following regulation with minor modifications as a result of comments concerning the original notice of proposed rulemaking published at 70 FR 49518-49525, on August 24, 2005. This regulation implements provisions of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (the ``VOCA'') (42 U.S.C. 10601 et seq.), which authorize the Director of the Office for Victims of Crime (``OVC''), a component of OJP, to establish an International Terrorism Victim Expense Reimbursement Program (hereinafter referred to as the ``ITVERP'') to reimburse eligible ``direct'' victims of acts of international terrorism that occur outside the United States for ``expenses associated with that victimization.''
