regulations to submit such regulations
to OGE for concurrence and joint

accordance with ‘‘Supplemental Agency
Regulations,’’ this final rule rescinds the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Discussion
On April 13, 1968, at 33 FR 5765, the
Federal Mediation and Conciliation
Service (FMCS) published a final rule
entitled ‘‘Outside employment, business
activities, and interests.’’ This final rule
implemented ethics regulations
concerning outside activities.
On August 7, 1992, at 57 FR 35042,
the Office of Government Ethics (OGE)
published a rule ‘‘Supplemental Agency
Regulations’’ requiring Federal agencies
creating supplemental ethics regulations
to submit such regulations to OGE for
concurrence and joint issuance within
title 5 of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
In accordance with 5 CFR 2635.105,
FMCS is working jointly with OGE to
develop new supplemental agency
regulations to be published by OGE
within title 5 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. Therefore, FMCS is issuing
this final rule, which rescinds the
current rule on outside employment,
business activities, and interests within
title 29 of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
II. Final Rule
FMCS has determined that this rule is
suitable for final rulemaking. The
revisions to FMCS’ policies and
requirements surrounding outside
activities are purely internal matters of
agency management, as well as the
agency’s procedure, and practice.
Accordingly, FMCS is not required to
engage in a notice and comment process
to issue this rule under the
Administrative Procedures Act, See
U.S.C. 553(a)(2), 553(b)(A).
Furthermore, because this rule is
procedural rather than substantive, the
normal requirement of 5 U.S.C. 553(d)
that a rule not be effective until at least
30 days after publication in the Federal
Register is inapplicable. FMCS also
finds good cause to provide an
immediate effective date for this rule
because it imposes no obligations on
parties outside the Federal Government
and therefore no advance notice is
required to enable employers or other
private parties to come into compliance.
