Miscellaneous InformationVarious Identification Codes ...FIPS Codes ...In a past effort, various federal agencies created a set of codes with a purpose similar to the GNIS codes.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. Ho-Ho-Kus is located in Region II (Region 2). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. Ho-Ho-Kus is located in Region II (Region 2).
