SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Substantive Discussion 

Exemption of Positions 

18 U.S.C. 207(c) prohibits a former 

‘‘senior employee’’ for a period of one 

year from knowingly making, with the 

intent to influence, any communication 

to or appearance before an employee of 

the department or agency in which he 

served in any capacity during the oneyear period prior to termination from 

senior service, if that communication or 

appearance is made on behalf of any 

other person, except the United States. 

For purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, a ‘‘senior 

employee’’ is any employee (other than 

an individual covered by the ‘‘very 

senior employee’’ one-year restriction in 

18 U.S.C. 207(d)) who was employed in 

a position for which the rate of pay is 

specified in or fixed according to the 

Executive Schedule, in a position for 

which the rate of basic pay is equal to 

or greater than 86.5 percent of the rate 

of basic pay payable for level II of the 

Executive Schedule, or in a position 

which is held by an active duty 

commissioned officer of the uniformed 

services who is serving in a grade or 

rank for which the pay grade is O–7 or 

above. The term includes those 

individuals appointed by the President 

to a position under 3 U.S.C. 105(a)(2)(B) 

or by the Vice President to a position 

under 3 U.S.C. 106(a)(1)(B). The term 

also includes any person who was 

assigned from a private sector 

organization to an agency under the 

Information Technology Exchange 

Program, 5 U.S.C. chapter 37. An 

individual is subject to section 207(c) as 

a result of service as a special 

Government employee only if the 

individual served 60 or more days as a 

special Government employee during 

the one-year period before terminating 

service as a senior employee. 

The representational bar of 18 U.S.C. 

207(c) usually applies to all senior 

positions. However, 18 U.S.C. 

207(c)(2)(C) provides that whenever the 

Director of OGE determines, after a 

review requested by the department or 

agency concerned, that the imposition 

of the restrictions with respect to a 

particular position or positions would 

create an undue hardship on the 

department or agency in obtaining 

qualified personnel to fill such position 

or positions, and granting the waiver 

would not create the potential for use of 

undue influence or unfair advantage, 

the position or category of positions is 

exempted from the one-year 

representational prohibition. 

Any senior employee position is 

eligible for exemption except persons: 

Employed at a rate of pay specified in 

or fixed according to subchapter II of 5 

U.S.C. chapter 53 (the Executive 

Schedule); in positions whose 

occupants are appointed by the 

President pursuant to 3 U.S.C. 

105(a)(2)(B); in positions whose 

occupants are appointed by the Vice 

President pursuant to 3 U.S.C. 

106(a)(1)(B); or assigned by a private 

sector organization to an agency under 

the Information Technology Exchange 

Program. Positions exempted from 18 

U.S.C. 207(c) are listed in appendix A 

to 5 CFR part 2641, OGE’s regulation 

governing the executive branch postemployment conflict of interest 

restrictions. 

The Director of OGE regularly reviews 

the position exemptions and, in 

consultation with the department or 

agency concerned, makes such 

additions and deletions as are 

necessary. As specified in 5 CFR 

2641.201(d)(3)(iii), the Director shall 

respond to each initial exemption 

request from agency ethics officials and 

annually publish a compilation of all 

exempted positions or categories of 

positions. Section 2641.201(d)(5) further 

provides that, before exempting a 

position or positions from 18 U.S.C. 

207(c), the Director must find: (1) That 

granting the exemption would not create 

the potential for use by former senior 

employees of undue influence or unfair 

advantage based on past Government 

service; and (2) that the imposition of 

the restriction would create an undue 

hardship on the particular department 

or agency in obtaining qualified 

personnel to fill such positions. 

Relevant factors for the second finding 

may include the payment of a special 

rate of pay to the incumbent of the 

position pursuant to specific statutory 

authority or a requirement that the 

incumbent of the position have 

outstanding qualifications in a 

scientific, technological, or other 

technical discipline. 

Pursuant to the procedures prescribed 

in 5 CFR 2641.201(d), one agency 

forwarded two written requests in 2003 

to OGE requesting that its listing in 

appendix A be amended. 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES
10340 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 45 / Thursday, March 8, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

In 2003, the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (SEC) requested that the 

Director of OGE exempt various new 

positions (termed ‘‘SK’’ positions) from 

18 U.S.C. 207(c). These positions 

previously had been classified at GS–15 

and below. However, when the SEC 

implemented ‘‘pay parity’’ authority 

under Pub. L. 107–123 to improve 

recruitment and retention, these 

positions then exceeded the pay 

threshold of 18 U.S.C. 207(c)(2)(A)(2) 

despite no increase in duties or 

responsibilities. Also included in one of 

the SEC requests was the position of 

Deputy Chief Litigation Counsel, 

Division of Enforcement, a position 

which itself is supervised by a position 

that was already exempted by OGE 

effective on October 29, 1991. 

After carefully reviewing the changes 

requested by the SEC in light of the 

criteria in 18 U.S.C. 207(c)(2)(C) as 

implemented in 5 CFR 2641.201(d)(5), 

the then-Director of OGE granted these 

requests by letters dated November 10, 

2003 and December 4, 2003. OGE is now 

amending appendix A to part 2641 to 

include these additional exempted SEC 

positions, retroactively effective to those 

respective dates (as parenthetically 

indicated in the amended appendix 

listing for the SEC positions concerned). 

An exemption ‘‘shall be effective as of 

the effective date of the Director’s 

written response to the designated 

agency ethics official indicating that the 

request for exemption has been 

granted.’’ 5 CFR 2641.201(d)(4). Once 

granted, the exemptions inured to the 

benefit of the individuals who held the 

positions when the exemptions took 

effect and their successors, but were not 

effective as to employees who 

terminated senior service from such 

positions prior to the effective date of 

the exemptions. 

Revocation and Addition of 

Departmental Components 

The representational bar of 18 U.S.C. 

207(c) also usually extends to the whole 

of any department or agency in which 

a former senior employee served in any 

capacity during the year prior to 

termination from a senior employee 

position. However, 18 U.S.C. 207(h) 

provides that whenever the Director of 

OGE determines that an agency or 

bureau within a department or agency 

in the executive branch exercises 

functions which are distinct and 

separate from the remaining functions of 

the department or agency and there 

exists no potential for use of undue 

influence or unfair advantage based on 

past Government service, the Director 

shall by rule designate such agency or 

bureau as a separate component of that 

department or agency. As a result, a 

former senior employee who served in 

a ‘‘parent’’ department or agency is not 

barred by 18 U.S.C. 207(c) from making 

communications to or appearances 

before any employees of any designated 

component of that parent, but is barred 

as to employees of that parent or of 

other components that have not been 

separately designated. Moreover, a 

former senior employee who served in 

a designated component of a parent 

department or agency is barred from 

communicating to or making an 

appearance before any employee of that 

component, but is not barred as to any 

employee of the parent or of any other 

component. 

Under 18 U.S.C 207(h)(2), component 

designations do not apply to persons 

employed at a rate of pay specified in 

or fixed according to subchapter II of 5 

U.S.C. chapter 53 (the Executive 

Schedule). Component designations are 

listed in appendix B to 5 CFR part 2641. 

The Director of OGE regularly reviews 

the component designations and 

determinations and, in consultation 

with the department or agency 

concerned, makes such additions and 

deletions as are necessary. Specifically, 

the Director ‘‘shall by rule make or 

revoke a component designation after 

considering the recommendation of the 

designated agency ethics official.’’ 5 

CFR 2641.201(e)(3)(iii). Before 

designating an agency component as 

distinct and separate for purposes of 18 

U.S.C. 207(c), the Director must find 

that there exists no potential for use by 

former senior employees of undue 

influence or unfair advantage based on 

past Government service, and that the 

component is an agency or bureau 

within a department or agency that 

exercises functions which are distinct 

and separate from the functions of the 

parent department or agency and from 

the functions of other components of 

that parent. 5 CFR 2641.201(e)(6). 

Pursuant to the procedures prescribed 

in 5 CFR 2641.201(e), two departments 

have forwarded written requests to OGE 

to amend their respective listings in 

appendix B. After carefully reviewing 

the requested changes in light of the 

criteria in 18 U.S.C. 207(h) as 

implemented in 5 CFR 2641.201(e)(6), 

the Director of OGE has determined to 

grant these requests and amend 

appendix B to 5 CFR part 2641 as 

explained below. 

Department of Homeland Security 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) has requested that OGE 

remove all separate components from 

the DHS listing as designated at 69 FR 

68053–68056 (November 23, 2004). The 

Department has determined that a 

single, undifferentiated organization for 

purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207(c) is in the 

best interest of DHS, the Government, 

and the public as DHS strives to 

establish a single, unified workforce. 

Accordingly, because the former 

components no longer exercise 

functions which are distinct and 

separate, the OGE Director is granting 

the request of DHS and is amending 

appendix B to part 2641 to remove the 

entire listing for DHS, including all of 

the DHS components. 

As 5 CFR 2641.201(e)(4) provides, a 

component designation ‘‘shall be 

effective as of the effective date of the 

rule that creates the designation, but 

shall not be effective as to employees 

who terminated senior service prior to 

that date.’’ Initial component 

designations were effective as of January 

1, 1991. The effective date of subsequent 

designations is indicated by means of 

parenthetical entries in appendix B to 

part 2641, November 23, 2004 in the 

case of DHS components as noted 

above. 

A revocation is effective 90 days after 

the effective date of the rule that revokes 

the designation. Accordingly, the 

component designation revocations 

made in this rulemaking will take effect 

June 6, 2007. Revocations are not 

effective as to any individual 

terminating senior service prior to the 

expiration of the 90-day period. 

Department of Justice 

The Department of Justice has 

requested that OGE designate the Office 

on Violence Against Women (OVW) as 

a distinct and separate component of the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) except as to 

the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) for 

purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207(c). Legislation 

passed in 2002 established OVW as a 

separate and distinct office within DOJ. 

Pub. L. 107–273, codified at 42 U.S.C. 

3796gg–0(b). However, because OVW 

continues to work closely with OJP on 

a number of initiatives, DOJ has not 

requested that OVW be considered 

separate from OJP, but only from other 

designated DOJ components. 

Accordingly, the Director is granting 

the request of DOJ and therefore is 

amending the DOJ listing in appendix B 

to part 2641 to designate OVW as a new 

component as discussed. 

B. Matters of Regulatory Procedure 

Administrative Procedure Act 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, as the 

Director of the Office of Government 

Ethics, I find that good cause exists for 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 45 / Thursday, March 8, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 10341

waiving the general requirements for 

notice of proposed rulemaking, 

opportunity for public comment, and, 

except as to the component designation 

revocations (see the preamble 

discussion above), a 30-day delayed 

effective date. It is important and in the 

public interest that the codification of 

OGE’s previous designations of 

additional exempted positions as well 

as the designation revocations and new 

designation herein by OGE of the 

specified separate departmental 

components, which reflect the current 

organization of the concerned 

departments, be published in the 

Federal Register and take effect as 

promptly as possible. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

As Director of the Office of 

Government Ethics, I certify under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

chapter 6) that this rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

because it affects only Federal 

departments and agencies and current 

and former Federal employees. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply to this 

rule because it does not contain 

information collection requirements that 

require the approval of the Office of 

Management and Budget. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

For purposes of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 

chapter 25, subchapter II), the final rule 

will not significantly or uniquely affect 

small governments and will not result in 

increased expenditures by State, local 

and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 

or by the private sector, of $100 million 

or more (as adjusted for inflation) in any 

one year. 

Congressional Review Act 

The Office of Government Ethics has 

determined that this rulemaking 

involves a non-major rule under the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 

chapter 8) and will submit a report 

thereon to the U.S. Senate, House of 

Representatives and Government 

Accountability Office in accordance 

with that law at the same time this 

rulemaking document is sent to the 

Office of the Federal Register for 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Executive Order 12866 

In promulgating this final rule, the 

Office of Government Ethics has 

adhered to the regulatory philosophy 

and the applicable principles of 

regulation set forth in section 1 of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review. This rule has not 

been reviewed by the Office of 

Management and Budget under that 

Executive order since it deals with 

agency organization, management, and 

personnel matters and is not 

‘‘significant’’ under the order. 

Executive Order 12988 

As Director of the Office of 

Government Ethics, I have reviewed this 

rule in light of section 3 of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, and 

certify that it meets the applicable 

standards provided therein.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as the finding of an improper 

geometry of some pulley brackets, 

which can offset the cable in the sheave. 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

12, 2007. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of April 12, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Streamlined Issuance of AD 

The FAA is implementing a new 

process for streamlining the issuance of 

ADs related to MCAI. The streamlined 

process will allow us to adopt MCAI 

safety requirements in a more efficient 

manner and will reduce safety risks to 

the public. This process continues to 

follow all FAA AD issuance processes to 

meet legal, economic, Administrative 

Procedure Act, and Federal Register 

requirements. We also continue to meet 

our technical decision-making 

responsibilities to identify and correct 

unsafe conditions on U.S.-certificated 

products. 

This AD references the MCAI and 

related service information that we 

considered in forming the engineering 

basis to correct the unsafe condition. 

The AD contains text copied from the 

MCAI and for this reason might not 

follow our plain language principles. 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on December 7, 2006 (71 FR 

70908). That NPRM proposed to require 

a detailed inspection of the aileron 

control cable pulleys and brackets, and 

apply corrective actions as necessary. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comments received. 

EADS SOCATA believes the FAA 

should reference the changes in the 

NPRM of the compliance time from 10 

hours time-in-service (TIS) in the MCAI 

and service bulletin to 50 hours TIS in 

the NPRM in the ‘‘FAA AD Differences’’

section. 

The FAA sometimes needs to change 

compliance times for enforceability 

reasons. We normally do not include 

that as an FAA AD Difference in an AD 

action, unless it affects the actions being 

done. However, since this compliance 

time change was significant, we will 

note it as a difference. The difference 

will state that the MCAI and service 

bulletin requires the action at 10 hours 

TIS. Typically, this short of a 

compliance time would indicate an 

unsafe condition requiring urgent 

action. However, we did not consider 

this unsafe condition to be an urgent 

safety of flight condition and issued this 

action through the normal notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) AD 

process. The time of 50 hours TIS is an 

adequate compliance for this AD action 

and met the FAA requirements of an 

NPRM followed by a final rule. 

EADS SOCATA comments that EADS 

SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory 

Service Bulletin SB 70–134, dated July 

2005, is not an Alert. 

The FAA agrees and changes the 

reference to the service information in 

the final rule. 

EADS SOCATA states that the costs of 

the required parts is about $450 per 

product and not the $8,600 per product 

that is in the Costs of Compliance 

section of the NPRM. EADS SOCATA 

also estimates that it would take 2.5 

work-hours to inspect and 8.5 workhours to replace the nonconforming 

parts, if necessary. This total of 11 workhours is less than the 12 work-hours 

that the FAA estimates in the NPRM. 

The FAA agrees and has changed the 

Costs of Compliance section in the final 

rule to reflect the above costs. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We determined that these changes will 

not increase the economic burden on 

any operator or increase the scope of the 

AD. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable in a U.S. 

court of law. In making these changes, 

we do not intend to differ substantively 

from the information provided in the 

MCAI and related service information.
