§ 21.205 Professional and technical services. ( a ) The prohibition on the use of appropriated funds, in § 21.100 (a), does not apply in the case of a payment of reasonable compensation made to an officer or employee of a person requesting or receiving a Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement or an extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of a Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement if payment is for professional or technical services rendered directly in the preparation, submission, or negotiation of any bid, proposal, or application for that Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement or for meeting requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving that Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.
( b ) For purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, “professional and technical services” shall be limited to advice and analysis directly applying any professional or technical discipline. For example, drafting of a legal document accompanying a bid or proposal by a lawyer is allowable. Similarly, technical advice provided by an engineer on the performance or operational capability of a piece of equipment rendered directly in the negotiation of a contract is allowable. However, communications with the intent to influence made by a professional (such as a licensed lawyer) or a technical person (such as a licensed accountant) are not allowable under this section unless they provide advice and analysis directly applying their professional or technical expertise and unless the advice or analysis is rendered directly and solely in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action. Thus, for example, communications with the intent to influence made by a lawyer that do not provide legal advice or analysis directly and solely related to the legal aspects of his or her client's proposal, but generally advocate one proposal over another are not allowable under this section because the lawyer is not providing professional legal services. Similarly, communications with the intent to influence made by an engineer providing an engineering analysis prior to the preparation or submission of a bid or proposal are not allowable under this section since the engineer is providing technical services but not directly in the preparation, submission or negotiation of a covered Federal action.
( c ) Requirements imposed by or pursuant to law as a condition for receiving a covered Federal award include those required by law or regulation, or reasonably expected to be required by law or regulation, and any other requirements in the actual award documents.
( d ) Only those services expressly authorized by this section are allowable under this section.

§ 351.6 When may I redeem my Series EE savings bond? ( a ) *Bonds with issue dates on or before January 1, 2003.* You may redeem your Series EE savings bond at any time beginning six months after its issue date.
( b ) *Bonds with issue dates on or after February 1, 2003.* You may redeem your Series EE savings bond at any time beginning twelve months after its issue date.
§ 29.105 Computation of time. ( a ) *For filing documents.* In computing the number of days allowed for filing a document, the first day counted is the day after the action or event from which the period begins to run. If the date that ordinarily would be the last day for filing falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, a Federal holiday, or a District holiday, the period runs until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday, or a Federal or a District holiday.
( b ) *For benefit accrual.* ( 1 ) Annuity accrues on a daily basis; one-thirtieth of the monthly rate constitutes the daily rate.
( 2 ) Annuity does not accrue on the 31st day of any month except that annuity accrues on the 31st day of the initial month if the employee's annuity commences on the 31st day of a 31-day month.
( 3 ) For accrual purposes the last day of a 28-day month counts as 3 days and the last day of a 29-day month counts as 2 days.
( c ) *For counting unused sick leave.* ( 1 ) For annuity computation purposes— ( i ) The service of a participant under the Police and Firefighters Plan who retires on an immediate annuity is increased by the number of days of unused sick leave to the participant's credit under a formal leave system; and
( ii ) The service of a participant under the Teachers Plan who retires on an immediate annuity or dies leaving a survivor entitled to an annuity is increased by the number of days of unused sick leave to the participant's credit under a formal leave system.
( 2 ) In general, 8 hours of unused sick leave increases total service by 1 day. In cases where more or less than 8 hours of sick leave would be charged for a day's absence, total service is increased by the number of days in the period between the date of separation and the date that the unused sick leave would have expired had the employee used it (except that holidays falling within the period are treated as work days, and no additional leave credit is earned for that period).
( 3 ) If an employee's tour of duty changes from part time to full time or full time to part time within 180 days before retirement, the credit for unused sick leave is computed as though no change had occurred.
( d ) *For counting leave without pay (LWOP) that is creditable service.* ( 1 ) Under the Police and Firefighters Plan, credit is allowed for no more than 6 months of LWOP in each calendar year.
( 2 ) ( i ) Under the Teachers Plan, credit is allowed for no more than 6 months of LWOP in each fiscal year.
( ii ) ( A ) For years prior to fiscal year 1976, each fiscal year started on July 1 and ended on the following June 30.
( B ) Fiscal year 1976 started on July 1, 1975, and ended on September 30, 1976.
( C ) For years starting in fiscal year 1977, each fiscal year starts on October 1 and ends on the following September 30.
§ 0.103 Other rules of conduct applicable to Department employees. In addition to the regulations in this part, employees of the Department are subject to other applicable statutes and regulations, including the following: ( a ) The Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch at 5 CFR part 2635;
( b ) The Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Department of the Treasury at 5 CFR part 3101;

# 									Announcement on ADAPT initiative in Guinea							

Press Statement

Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson

November 8, 2023

At the 2022 U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, President Biden announced the United States would increase political and technical support for democratic transitions through a new African Democratic and Political Transitions (ADAPT) initiative.

We are pleased to announce the U.S. government is advancing the ADAPT initiative to support the people of Guinea in their transition to democratic governance by January 1, 2025. ADAPT resources will provide technical assistance for ongoing efforts to draft a new constitution and prepare for free and fair elections, while also laying the groundwork for more effective and inclusive democratic institutions.

There is consistent and strong popular support for democracy across Africa, and the promotion of democratic principles and practices are fundamental to the African Union’s Agenda 2063. The United States is committed to surging support to regional bodies, transition governments, democratic and inclusive political movements, and civil society to advance shared democratic goals. The ADAPT initiative will be expanded to other countries as transition governments take concrete and timely steps to transition to democratic governance.

No. 08-1572

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT

DEALER COMPUTER SERVICES, INC., F.K.A.

FORD DEALER COMPUTER SERVICES, INC.

Plaintiff-Appellant,

On Appeal from the 

v. United States District Court for 

the Eastern District of Michigan

FOX VALLEY FORD

Defendant-Appellee.

______________________________

Before: KENNEDY, MARTIN, and COLE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM. Dealer Computer Services, Inc. (“Dealer Computer”) appeals the district

court’s order denying its motion to vacate an arbitration award permitting Fox Valley Ford (“Fox

Valley”) to proceed by class arbitration of its contract claims with other car dealerships. Dealer

Computer sold and provided repairfor computer hardware and software to car dealerships across the

country. Fox Valley was among such dealerships. Dealer Computer used boilerplate contracts with

Fox Valley and the other car dealerships. 

On November 18, 2008, after the parties filed their briefs in this appeal, this Court in Dealer

Computer Servs., Inc. v. Dub Herring Ford, 547 F.3d 558 (6th Cir. 2008), decided a case that is

virtually identical to the case before us. Dealer Computer was the plaintiff-appellant in both cases.

The contracts in both cases have identical arbitration clauses. The procedural posture is the same.

Even the attorneys are the same. In Dub Herring Ford, we held that we lacked jurisdiction to

consider Dealer Computer’s motion to vacate the arbitration award for its lack of ripeness. Id. at
559. The arbitration panel had not yet certified the car dealerships’ claims for class arbitration; it

merely decided that the arbitration clauses in Dealer Computer’s contracts did not preclude class

arbitration. The status of the arbitration award is the same here. The Dub Herring Ford court noted

that the car dealerships may ultimately fail to secure class certification for their claims and if that

occurs, the appellant will not be harmed. Id. at 561-62. Furthermore, if the car dealerships obtain

class certification, the appellant can still obtain judicial review before commencement of class

arbitration and resolution of the merits. Id. at 562-63.

Following Dub Herring Ford, we VACATE the order of the district court and REMAND the

case to the district court with instructions to DISMISS for lack of jurisdiction.
