www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the

Agenda database.

## Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas

required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Institute of Museum and Library Services’ printed

agenda entries include only:

(1) Rules that are in the Agency’s regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of

small entities; and

(2) Any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory

Flexibility Act’s Agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified

Agenda published on the Internet. In addition, for fall editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan

will continue to be printed in the Federal Register , as in past years, including the Institute of Museum

and Library Services’ regulatory plan.

Title: Revision of NEA Supplemental Standards of Conduct--Outside Activities
Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) proposes to revise its Supplemental Standards of Conduct, located at 5 CFR part 6501. These regulations apply only to employees of the NEA and supplement the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch contained in 5 CFR part 2635. Under the NEA's current Supplemental Standards of Conduct, employees are required to seek approval prior to engaging in outside activities with a prohibited source, which is defined at 5 CFR 2635.203(d).

Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) proposes rules to implement the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Under NEPA, each Federal department and agency conducting or supporting public works activities which affect the environment must implement the policies established under existing law. NEPA's basic policy is to assure that all branches of government give proper consideration to the environment prior to undertaking any major federal action that significantly affects the environment. These rules will ensure the NEA's integration of the NEPA process at the earliest possible time to reflect environmental values.

Title: Implementation of OMB Guidance on Drug-Free Workplace Requirements
Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is adopting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. It is removing its regulation implementing the Governmentwide common rule, currently located at 45 CFR part 1155, and issuing a new regulation to adopt the OMB guidance at 2 CFR part 182. These regulatory actions constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in NEA's policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.

The NEA will update all relevant provisions and definitions.
