Codes for the Identification of Federal and Federally-Assisted Organizations. Federal General Data Standard Representations and Codes

摘要

This Standard provides a four-character identifier for each organization listed. The two leftmost characters form a component data element, called the Treasury Agency Symbol (TAS), which is identical to the two-digit numerical code used in the budgetary process to identify major Federal agencies. Organizations that are related by a common budgetary appropriation usually have the same TAS code. Organizations identified in this Standard include legislative, judicial, and executive branch agencies, as well as those Federal-State, interstate, and international organizations that receive budgetary support. Government-sponsored enterprises and certain Federally-aided organizations are included also. Provision is made for the inclusion of additional categories or organizations.
