          Subject: Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General, September 1 1 Victim
                  Compensation Fund of 2001

          Pursuant to section 801(a) (2) (A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of the Attorney
          General entitled September 11 Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 (RIN: 1105-
          AA79). We received the rule on December 21, 2001. It was published in the Federal
          Register as an interim final rule with request for comments on December 21, 2001.
          66 Fed. Reg. 66274.

          The interim final rule contains certain procedural rules for the administration of the
          September 11 Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 that allow the Special Master to
          commence operation of the fund and disbursement of payments as soon as
          practicable.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the DOJ's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that the DOJ complied with the applicable requirements.

          Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO
