BILLING CODE 7590–01–P

The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995:

Covered Officials

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is adding to its list

of ‘‘covered officials’’, for purposes of

the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, the

NRC’s Chief Information Officer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In late 1995, President Clinton signed

into law the Lobbying Disclosure Act of

1995 (the ‘‘Act’’), which requires some

individuals and entities who lobby

‘‘covered’’ Federal officials to register

with Congress and to file semiannual

reports describing their lobbying

activities.

For purposes of the Act, the NRC had

determined that ‘‘covered’’ officials at

the NRC were limited to Members of the

Commission and their personal staffs,

the Inspector General, the Executive

Director for Operations, the General

Counsel, and the Directors of the Offices

of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Nuclear

Material Safety and Safeguards and

Nuclear Regulatory Research. See

Federal Register of February 1, 1996 (61

FR 3737).

As a result of the enactment of the

Information Technology Management

Reform Act of 1996, the position of

Chief Information Officer (CIO) was

created for 22 named executive-branch

agencies, including the NRC. The NRC

has determined that the NRC’s CIO is a

‘‘covered’’ official for purposes of the

Act. Therefore, the NRC is adding the

NRC’s CIO to its list of ‘‘covered

officials’’.
