OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 330

RIN 3206–AF36

Full Consideration of Displaced

Defense Employees

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Final regulation.

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel

Management (OPM) is issuing a final

rule to remove the regulations regarding

full consideration of displaced

Department of Defense employees

because the implementing statute has

expired and the program has been

superseded.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This regulation is

effective on May 19, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jacqueline Yeatman on (202) 606–0960,

FAX (202) 606–2329, TDD (202) 606–

0023 or by email at jryeatma@opm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

regulations at 5 CFR part 330 subpart I

were published April 9, 1993,

implementing section 4432 of the

National Defense Authorization Act for

Fiscal Year 1993 (Pub. L. 102–484). The

statute provided up to 2 years of full

consideration in non-Defense jobs for

Department of Defense employees who

were separated by reduction in force

between October 23, 1991 and

September 30, 1997. This section of

Public Law 102–484 preceded the

regulations at 5 CFR part 330 Subpart G,

which in 1996 established the

Interagency Career Transition

Assistance Plan (ICTAP). DOD

employees separated by reduction in

force are currently eligible for ICTAP

selection priority for vacancies in nonDefense agencies under those

regulations. Because this section of the

Public Law has expired and been

superseded by the ICTAP, OPM is

deleting the current material in part 330

(subpart I) and reserving this subpart for

future use.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

I certify that this regulation will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

because it affects only Federal

employees.

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory

Review

This rule has been reviewed by the

Office of Management and Budget in

Public Financing of Presidential

Primary and General Election

Candidates

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of

effective date.

SUMMARY: On November 15, 1999, the

Commission published the text of

revised regulations governing publicly

financed Presidential campaigns. 64 FR

61777 (Nov. 15, 1999). The revised rules

modify the Commission’s audit

procedures. They also address the

‘‘bright line’’ between primary and

general election expenses, and the

formation of Vice Presidential

committees prior to nomination. The

Commission announces that these rules

are effective as of April 19, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 19, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Rosemary C. Smith, Assistant General

Counsel, 999 E Street, NW, Washington,

DC 20463, (202) 694–1650 or toll free

(800) 424–9530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission is announcing the effective

date of revised regulations at 11 CFR

9007.1, 9034.4 and 9038.1, and new

regulations at 11 CFR 9035.3. The

revisions to 11 CFR 9007.1 and 9038.1

replace the Exit Conference

Memorandum that is currently provided

to audited committees at the exit

conference following an audit with a

Preliminary Audit Report that will be

approved by the Commission before it is

provided to the audited committees

after the exit conference. Revised 11

CFR 90934.4 clarifies the applicability

of the so-called ‘‘bright line’’ rules that

govern expenditures made in

connection with both the primary and

the general election, and revises those

portions allocating payroll and overhead

costs for the use of campaign offices

prior to a candidate’s nomination. New

11 CFR 9035.3 addresses when

contributions to, and expenditures by,

Vice Presidential committees must be

aggregated with contributions to, and

expenditures by, the primary campaign

of that party’s eventual Presidential

nominee, for purposes of the

contribution and expenditure limits for

publicly funded Presidential campaigns.

Sections 9009(c) and 9039(c) of Title

26, United States Code, require that any

rules or regulations prescribed by the

Commission to carry out the provisions

of Title 26 of the United States Code be

transmitted to the Speaker of the House

of Representatives and the President of

the Senate thirty legislative days prior to

final promulgation. These rules were
