OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
5 CFR Part 1800
Correction to Statutory Citation
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC)
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel is issuing this technical
amendment to correct a statutory citation in its regulation governing
the filing of complaints of prohibited personnel practices and other
prohibited activities.
DATES: This rule is effective April 30, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Barbara Wheeler Jones, Chief, Case
Review Division, U.S. Office of Special Counsel, by telephone at (202)
804-7000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment is directed to the public in
general, particularly current and former federal employees and
applicants for federal employment who may seek to file complaints
alleging prohibited personnel practices or other violations of civil
service law, rule, or regulation by a federal agency.
OSC is correcting an erroneous statutory reference in 5 CFR
1800.2(d) concerning alternative dispute resolution. The current
regulation incorrectly cites the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act
of 1998, 5 U.S.C. 571-573. The correct citation is the Administrative
Dispute Resolution Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 571-574.
This technical amendment is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C.
1212(e), which authorizes the Special Counsel to publish regulations in
the Federal Register. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, OSC finds good cause to waive notice and
public comment requirements. The agency has determined that this
rulemaking is non-substantive, purely technical in nature, and that
delay in correction would be contrary to the public interest, as the
public benefits from the prompt correction of an incorrect citation.
This rule is also effective upon publication in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 808(2) of the Congressional Review Act, which allows rules to
take effect immediately when an agency finds good cause. OSC finds that
good cause exists for immediate effectiveness based on the reasons
stated above.
List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 1800
Administrative practice and procedure, Government employees.
For the reasons stated in the preamble, OSC amends 5 CFR part 1800
as follows:
