In reviewing the United States Code, Title 31, Chapter 3, >"Department of the Treasury - Organization", I do not find any mention >of the Internal Revenue Service or the other aforementioned >organizations. > >This is rather puzzling.

Do these >organizations, apparently missing from Title 31, Chapter 3, actually >come under some other Department of the United States government? > >Further confusing the issue, Title 31 USC º308 says, "The section is >included to provide in subchapter I of chapter 3 of the revised title a >complete list of the organizational units established by law that are in >the Department of the Treasury or are subject to the direction and >supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury." Odd, indeed! Certainly >the "United States Customs Service" is not the only "organizational unit >..." to which this sentence refers. However, a reasonable >interpretation of this sentence would be that "the section ..." (º308) >was revised to insure that Subchapter I "Organization" would in fact >provide the "complete list" referred to. > >Title 31 USC, Chapter 3, is titled "Department of the Treasury". As I >do find most of the organizations which are listed on your Web page >(Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Bureau of the Mint, Office of the >Comptroller of the Currency, United States Customs Service, etc.) >correspondingly listed in Title 31 USC, Chapter 3, I must assume that >the words "Department of the Treasury" shown in that USC chapter heading >denote the same department of the United States Government as the "U.S. >Department of the Treasury" shown on the title line of your Web pages. >If this is not entirely correct, please help me understand any >differences between the two "departments". > >I cannot seem to locate the missing bureaus, agencies or organizations >in any other organizational listing for any Department of the United >States Government anywhere in the United States Code.
