GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-25422 RIN 3206-AM62 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Final rule. Effective date: This regulation is effective on October 16, 2012. Applicability date: FWS employees remaining in the Montgomery NAF wage area were transferred to the Burlington and Morris NAF wage area schedules on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning on or after May 15, 2012. 5 CFR Part 532 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to abolish the Montgomery, Pennsylvania, nonappropriated fund (NAF) Federal Wage System (FWS) wage area and redefine Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties, PA, to the Burlington, NJ, NAF wage area and Luzerne County, PA, to the Morris, NJ, NAF wage area. Bucks County, PA, will no longer be defined to an NAF wage area. These changes are necessary because the closure of the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base (NAS JRB) Willow Grove left the Montgomery wage area without an activity having the capability to conduct a local wage survey.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-24773 RIN FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD Direct final rule; correcting amendment. Effective October 9, 2012 and is applicable beginning February 27, 2012. 5 CFR Part 1631 The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (Agency) published a direct final rule in the February 27, 2012, Federal Register , pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, to permit Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests via electronic mail and facsimile. The direct final rule was published with an incorrect facsimile number. This facsimile number publication was a technical error, and is hereby corrected.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-19150 RIN 2501-AD55 Docket No. FR-5542-F-02 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, Office of the Secretary Final rule. Effective Date: September 5, 2012. 5 CFR Part 7501 The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is finalizing the proposed rule to amend its existing Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct, which are regulations for HUD officers and employees that supplement OGE's Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (Standards). To ensure a comprehensive and effective ethics program at HUD, and to address ethical issues unique to HUD, this final rule reflects statutory changes that were enacted subsequent to the codification of HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct regulation in 1996. Significantly, this final rule reflects the transfer of general regulatory authority over the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation from HUD to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). This final rule also revises definitions used in HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct to reflect updated titles and positions and clarifies existing prohibitions on certain financial interests and outside employment to better guide employee conduct, while upholding the integrity of HUD in the administration of its programs. Finally, this final rule more clearly describes the role and responsibility of the HUD Office of Inspector General in the agency's ethics program. This rule follows publication of a March 14, 2012, proposed rule and considers public comment on the proposed rule, but makes no changes at this final rule stage.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17536 RIN 3206-AM35 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Final rule. This rule is effective August 20, 2012. 5 CFR Part 315 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to establish that an employee's same-sex domestic partner qualifies as a family member for purposes of eligibility for noncompetitive appointment based on overseas employment. The intended effect of this regulation is to ensure same-sex domestic partners are treated as family members.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17540 RIN 3206-AM31 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Final rule. This rule is effective August 20, 2012. 5 CFR Parts 550 and 591 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is revising its regulations on evacuation pay and the separate maintenance allowance for duty at Johnston Island to ensure that same-sex domestic partners of Federal employees and the children of such domestic partners have access to these benefits to the same extent as spouses of Federal employees and their children. These changes fulfill the Administration policy expressed in the President's June 2, 2010, memorandum on the “Extension of Benefits to Same-Sex Domestic Partners of Federal Employees.”

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17539 RIN 3206-AL36 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Final rule. Effective July 20, 2012. 5 CFR Part 792 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is adopting as final changes to its regulations concerning alcohol and drug abuse counseling programs for employees and changes to its regulations concerning agencies' use of appropriated funds to provide child care subsidies for lower-income civilian employees. The changes would clarify the scope of regulations for alchohol and drug abuse programs for Federal civilian employees; change the definition of “child”; expand regulations to extend coverage to child care services for children of same-sex domestic partners of Federal employees; make certain technical corrections; and make other changes designed to render the regulations clearer and more concise.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17542 RIN 3206-AM20 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Final rule. Effective July 20, 2012. 5 CFR Parts 831 and 842 The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is amending its regulations to add same-sex domestic partners to the class of persons for which an insurable interest is presumed to exist. The rule is designed to relieve federal employees with same-sex domestic partners from the evidentiary requirements in existing regulations for persons outside this class. Additionally, OPM is taking this step to recognize that individuals with same-sex domestic partners have the same presumption of an insurable interest in the continued life of employees or Members as the class of persons listed in the prior rule.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17542 RIN 3206-AM20 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Final rule.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17623 RIN 3206-AM66 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Interim final rule. This rule is effective July 17, 2012.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17123 RIN 3206-AM59 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Interim rule with request for comments. Effective date: This regulation is effective on July 13, 2012. We must receive comments on or before August 13, 2012. Applicability date: Agencies will place employees who are paid from the Washington, DC, special wage schedule on the Washington, DC, regular wage schedule on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning on or after October 21, 2012. 5 CFR Part 532 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing an interim rule to abolish the Washington, DC, Federal Wage System (FWS) special wage schedule for printing and lithographic positions. Printing and lithographic employees in the Washington, DC, wage area will now be paid from the regular Washington, DC, appropriated fund FWS wage schedule. This change is necessary because Federal employment in printing and lithographic occupations in the Washington, DC, wage area has declined sharply in recent years, and a separate wage schedule is no longer viable or beneficial to employees.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-15998 RIN 3209-AA00 OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS Final rule. Effective Date: August 1, 2012. 5 CFR Part 2634 The Office of Government Ethics is issuing a final rule to amend the executive branch regulation regarding qualified trusts.

Effective Date: June 29, 2012. 5 CFR Part 9303 The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is adopting as final, without changes, an interim rule for SIGAR employees that will supplement the executive branch-wide Standards of Ethical Conduct (Standards) issued by OGE. The final supplemental regulation includes a requirement that SIGAR employees obtain prior approval for certain types of outside activities. The interim final rule was published in the Federal Register on April 6, 2012
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-15665 RIN 3460-AA00 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR AFGHANISTAN RECONSTRUCTION Correcting amendments. This final rule is effective June 27, 2012. 5 CFR Part 9301 On June 11, 2012 (77 FR 34179) the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction published a final rule, revising its regulations establishing procedures for the public to obtain information from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act of 1974. These procedures will facilitate public interaction with SIGAR. The June 11, 2012 final rule inadvertently omitted several amendments in response to the public comments SIGAR received. The purpose of this document is to make the necessary corrections.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-15462 RIN FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY Final rule. Effective Date: July 25, 2012. 5 CFR Parts 2422, 2423, and 2429 The Federal Labor Relations Authority (the FLRA) is engaged in an initiative to make electronic filing, or “eFiling,” available to parties in all cases before the FLRA.

EFiling also is expected to increase efficiencies by reducing procedural filing errors and resulting processing delays.

This rule supplements the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (OGE Standards) issued by OGE and is necessary because it addresses ethical issues unique to the Bureau.

The final rule redefines Burleson and Lampasas Counties, TX, from the Austin wage area to the Waco wage area. These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area. This final rule makes an additional correction to add the entire Syracuse-Utica-Rome, NY, wage area to Appendix C to Subpart B of Part 532—Appropriated Fund Wage and Survey Areas, which was inadvertently deleted when the CFR was published in January 2004.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-7835 RIN 3206-AM39 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Final rule. This final rule is effective May 2, 2012. 5 CFR Part 890 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final regulation amending the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) regulations and also the Federal Employees Health Benefits Acquisition Regulation (FEHBAR). This final regulation makes minor changes to an interim final regulation on the same subject published June 29, 2011. The rule replaces the procedure by which premiums for community rated FEHB carriers are compared with the rates charged to a carrier's similarly sized subscriber groups (SSSGs). The new procedure utilizes a medical loss ratio (MLR) threshold, analogous to that defined in both the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and in Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations and replaces the outdated SSSG methodology with a more modern and transparent calculation while still ensuring that the FEHB Program is receiving a fair rate. This will result in a more streamlined process for plans and increased competition and plan choice for enrollees. The new process will apply to all community rated plans, except those required by their state to use traditional community rating (TCR). This new process will be phased in over two years, with optional participation for non-TCR plans in the first year.

The proposed rule would redefine Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, and Perry Counties, MO, from the Southern Missouri wage area to the St. Louis wage area and Mercer County, PA, from the Pittsburgh wage area to the Cleveland wage area. These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area.

It renames the Champaign-Urbana, IL, wage area as the Central Illinois wage area and updates the name of the White Sands Proving Ground in the Albuquerque, NM, and El Paso, TX, wage areas to White Sands Missile Range.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-19150 RIN 2501-AD55 Docket No. FR-5542-F-02 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, Office of the Secretary Final rule. Effective Date: September 5, 2012. 5 CFR Part 7501 The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is finalizing the proposed rule to amend its existing Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct, which are regulations for HUD officers and employees that supplement OGE's Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (Standards). To ensure a comprehensive and effective ethics program at HUD, and to address ethical issues unique to HUD, this final rule reflects statutory changes that were enacted subsequent to the codification of HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct regulation in 1996. Significantly, this final rule reflects the transfer of general regulatory authority over the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation from HUD to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). This final rule also revises definitions used in HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct to reflect updated titles and positions and clarifies existing prohibitions on certain financial interests and outside employment to better guide employee conduct, while upholding the integrity of HUD in the administration of its programs. Finally, this final rule more clearly describes the role and responsibility of the HUD Office of Inspector General in the agency's ethics program. This rule follows publication of a March 14, 2012, proposed rule and considers public comment on the proposed rule, but makes no changes at this final rule stage.

The final rule redefines Burleson and Lampasas Counties, TX, from the Austin wage area to the Waco wage area. These changes are based on recent consensus recommendations of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee to best match the counties proposed for redefinition to a nearby FWS survey area. This final rule makes an additional correction to add the entire Syracuse-Utica-Rome, NY, wage area to Appendix C to Subpart B of Part 532—Appropriated Fund Wage and Survey Areas, which was inadvertently deleted when the CFR was published in January 2004.

This final rule is effective May 2, 2012. 5 CFR Part 890 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final regulation amending the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) regulations and also the Federal Employees Health Benefits Acquisition Regulation (FEHBAR). This final regulation makes minor changes to an interim final regulation on the same subject published June 29, 2011. The rule replaces the procedure by which premiums for community rated FEHB carriers are compared with the rates charged to a carrier's similarly sized subscriber groups (SSSGs). The new procedure utilizes a medical loss ratio (MLR) threshold, analogous to that defined in both the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and in Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations and replaces the outdated SSSG methodology with a more modern and transparent calculation while still ensuring that the FEHB Program is receiving a fair rate. This will result in a more streamlined process for plans and increased competition and plan choice for enrollees. The new process will apply to all community rated plans, except those required by their state to use traditional community rating (TCR). This new process will be phased in over two years, with optional participation for non-TCR plans in the first year.

To ensure a comprehensive and effective ethics program at HUD, and to address ethical issues unique to HUD, the proposed rule reflects statutory changes that were enacted subsequent to the promulgation of HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct regulation in 1996; significantly, the transfer of general regulatory authority over the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation from HUD to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). In addition, the proposed rule revises definitions used in HUD's Supplemental Standards of Conduct to reflect updated titles and positions and clarifies existing prohibitions on certain financial interests and outside employment to better guide employee conduct, while upholding the integrity of HUD in the administration of its programs.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-2660 RIN 3206-AM07 OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT Proposed rule. We will consider comments received on or before April 9, 2012. 5 CFR Part 213 The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing to amend its regulations pertaining to the appointment of persons with disabilities. The proposed changes eliminate the requirement that an applicant supply a certification of job readiness and provide clarification on appointments under this authority. In addition, OPM is cognizant of a change in terminology as evinced, for example in “Rosa's Law,” which Congress enacted in October of 2010. Although Rosa's Law is not applicable here, it has prompted us to reconsider our own use of terminology, and we propose to substitute the phrase “intellectual disability” for the phrase “mental retardation” throughout this Part, without any change in the intended coverage.
