29 CFR Part 2701
Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations; Technical Amendments
AGENCY: Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is
issuing a final rule to make nomenclature changes to reflect that the
Commission's Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations are
administered by the Commission's Office of the General Counsel.
Accordingly, references in the regulation to the Office of the
Executive Director are removed and replaced with the Office of the
General Counsel.
DATES: Effective September 9, 2026.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rory P. Smith, Attorney-Advisor,
Office of the General Counsel, Federal Mine Safety and Health Review
Commission, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Suite 1400N, Washington, DC
20004, (202) 525-8649.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document amends two final rules in the
Commission's Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations at 29 CFR part
2701. The amendment is made to reflect that pursuant to agency
practice, correspondence related to the Sunshine Act are directed to
and handled by the Commission's Office of the General Counsel.
Accordingly, references to the ``Executive Director'' are corrected to
refer to the ``General Counsel''.
Because this amendment deals with agency management and procedures,
the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act
do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) and (b)(3)(A).
