ensure its consistency with the 

regulatory philosophy and principles set 

forth in Executive Order 12866. This 

rulemaking updating the provisions of 

22 CFR part 34 is part of the Department 

of State’s retrospective review, 

mandated by EO 13563. The benefit of 

the rulemaking is that in certain 

instances email notification of debt 

provides a more effective and efficient 

delivery mechanism than first class 

mail. This is particularly the case for the 

Department’s global and mobile 

workforce. Postage costs are also 

eliminated by leveraging the 

Department’s messaging system in lieu 

of first class mail delivery. 

Executive Order 12988: The 

Department has reviewed this regulation 

in light of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform, to eliminate ambiguity, 

minimize litigation, establish clear legal 

standards, and reduce burden. 

Executive Orders 13132 and 12372: 

This regulation will not have substantial 

direct effects on the States, the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, the 

Department determines that this rule 

does not have sufficient federalism 

implications to require consultations or 

warrant the preparation of a federalism 

summary impact statement. The 

regulations implementing Executive 

Order 12372 regarding 

intergovernmental consultation on 

federal programs and activities do not 

apply to this regulation. 

Executive Order 13175: The 

Department has determined that this 

rulemaking will not have tribal 

implications, will not impose 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

Indian tribal governments, and will not 

pre-empt tribal law. Accordingly, the 

requirements of Executive Order 13175 

do not apply to this rulemaking. 

Paperwork Reduction Act: This rule 

does not impose any new or revised 

reporting or recordkeeping requirements 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

44 U.S.C. chapter 35.

circumstances, send by electronic mail 

to the debtor’s most current address in 

the records of STATE, at least one 

written notice. Written demand under 

this subpart may be preceded by other 

appropriate actions under this part and 

or the FCCS, including but not limited 

to actions taken under the procedures 

applicable to administrative offset, 

including salary offset.

§ 34.7 [Amended] 

■ 3. Remove paragraph (a)(7) from 

§ 34.7. 

■ 4. Revise the introductory text of 

§ 34.13 to read as follows: 

§ 34.13 Notice requirements before offset. 

Except as provided in § 34.16, salary 

offset deductions will not be made 

unless STATE first provides the 

employee with a written notice that he/ 

she owes a debt to the Federal 

Government at least 30 calendar days 

before salary offset is to be initiated. 

When STATE is the creditor agency, 

this notice of intent to offset an 

employee’s salary shall be handdelivered or sent by electronic mail to 

the employee’s STATE issued electronic 

mail address and will state:

any of its obligations pursuant to the 

Fiscal Agency Agreement shall not 

impair any Noteholder’s rights under

Agent by USAID as a result of such 

failure or neglect. A Noteholder may 

appoint the Fiscal Agent to make 

demand for payment on its behalf under 

the Guarantee.

with the original payment terms of such 

Eligible Notes. 

§ 235.10 Payment to USAID of excess 

amounts received by a Noteholder. 

If a Noteholder shall, as a result of 

USAID paying compensation under the 

Guarantee, receive an excess payment, it 

shall refund the excess to USAID. 

§ 235.11 Subrogation of USAID. 

In the event of payment by USAID to 

a Noteholder under the Guarantee, 

USAID shall be subrogated to the extent 

of such payment to all of the rights of 

such Noteholder against the Borrower 

under the related Note. 

§ 235.12 Prosecution of claims. 

After payment by USAID to an 

Applicant hereunder, USAID shall have 

exclusive power to prosecute all claims 

related to rights to receive payments 

under the Eligible Notes to which it is 

thereby subrogated. If a Noteholder 

continues to have an interest in the 

outstanding Eligible Notes, such a

respective interests in such Eligible 

Notes and the manner of and 

responsibility for prosecuting claims. 

§ 235.13 Change in agreements.

change or waiver of any provision of 

any document contemplated by the 

Guarantee without the prior written 

consent of USAID.

writing in the English language, shall 

refer to the Hashemite Kingdom of

actually received by USAID at the Office 

of Development Credit, Bureau for 

Economic Growth, Education and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final 

rule that is the subject of these 

corrections administratively changes 

responsibilities of the Deputy Assistant

documentation of internal realignment

remain unchanged and continue to be 

performed by principals within SAF/IE. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Air Force has determined that the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

553, does not require notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public participation in connection with 

these corrections. In this regard, the Air 

Force notes that such notice and 

opportunity for comment is unnecessary 

because these corrections are related 

solely to agency organization, procedure 

and practice and make technical 

corrections. Accordingly, the Air Force 

finds good cause to make these 

corrections effective immediately upon 

publication in the Federal Register. 5
