Office of the Administrator

Organization

The Bureau is organised into offices, directorates, divisions, and one bureau within a bureau, which operates under a 1974 naming waiver. Offices report to the Office of the Administrator. Where two offices hold incompatible definitions of the same term, both definitions remain in force within the office that holds them.

Offices not listed

The Office of Records That Should Not Exist maintains a finding aid for its holdings. The office does not acknowledge that the finding aid exists. Both statements are published.

Where a case disposition names an office that does not appear above, the naming is an administrative reference and does not establish that the office is unpublished. The Bureau publishes every office it maintains.
