 International Organizations.

Organizational structure is described and encoded in this publication in a manner consistent with the establishmentbudgetary structure of the PIVU.S. FASC-NGovernment. organizationalConsistency codeswith the budgetary structure has been maintained in order to permit the adoption of the two-digit numerical code used in the budgetary process to identify most first-level, independent federal organizations. This coding system is maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Designated as the Treasury Agency Symbol (TAS), it serves as the two leftmost characters of the organization code used in this publication.

All first-level organizations in each of the above categories are listed in this publication. A first-level organization is not intendedsubsumed forhierarchically under any other organization. Second-level organizations are included with the replacementExecutive Office, executive departments, and certain other major agencies. Third- and lower-level organizations are included only in the Department of Defense and in special situations in other departments. Second-, third-, and lower-level organizations are always subsumed hierarchically under a next-higher-level organization.

In this publication, an "independent" organization is defined as having both hierarchical independence and budgetary independence, i.e., it is first-level (hierarchical independence) and has a budget which is not subsumed by or connected in a subsidiary manner with the budget of another organization (budgetary independence). An "associated" organization is first-level, but has no budgetary independence. The five types of associated organizations are:

 Associated federal Organizations, which are federal agencies or their ancillary units such as advisory committees; they are often included as part of the independent organizations to which they are related

 Associated federal-State Organizations, which are associated organizations in which the federal Government and one or more States participate jointly

 Government-Sponsored Enterprises, which are so identified in a separate section of the Budget of the United States Government, Appendix (referred to as The Budget)

 Federally Aided Organizations, which are domestic and non-federal, and are identified in The Budget as receiving some form of financial support such as a direct payment, loan guarantee, line of credit, or stock purchase arrangement

 International Organizations, identified in The Budget or in the Department of State's annual report of United States Contributions to International Organizations as organizations in which the federal Government serves as a financial contributor.

A "quasi-federal" organization is an organization that is listed as "quasi-official" in the U.S. Government Manual and is also assigned its own unique TAS code by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. agencyAn location"interstate" organization included in this publication is federally assisted but differs from a federal-State organization in that it involves no federal participation.

Associated organizations and appropriationorganizations fundbelow accountthe codesfirst level usually carry the same TAS as the independent, first-level organization with which they are connected. Organizations having the same TAS are distinguished from each other by the two rightmost characters of the identifier. These characters are alphanumeric, although numeric characters are being used at this time in most cases. The recommended system used for assignment of the two rightmost characters of the identifier is explained below in Section 4: Special Information.
