Office of Special Counsel. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This final rule revises the U.S. Office of Special Counsel's (OSC's) regulations regarding the filing of complaints and disclosures with OSC, and updates OSC's prohibited personnel practice provisions. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)implementing regulations, OSC sought approval from OMB for a new, dynamic electronic form to be used for filing complaints and disclosures. This new form, Form OSC-14, will replace Forms OSC-11, OSC-12, and OSC-13, which were previously approved by OMB. DATES: This rule is effective July 17, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan K. Ullman, General Counsel, U.S. Office of Special Counsel, by telephone at 202-254-3600, by facsimile at
(202)254-3711, or by email at *sullman@osc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The final rule makes minor changes to the existing language in 5 CFR 1800.1(c)(1) through
(5)and (d), and 1800.2(b)(1) and
(2)by replacing references to, and information about, the legacy OSC forms with references to, and information about, the new form established by OSC. The final rule refers to forms established by OSC and covers the new form that OSC submitted to OMB for approval. The final rule will enable OSC to revise its forms in the future, while still providing for public notice and OMB review of future revisions. The final rule also updates the prohibited personnel practice provisions, at 5 CFR 1800.1(a)(13), based on the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(13) regarding nondisclosure forms, policies, or agreements. OSC received no comments from members of the public or other Agencies on the final rule or the new form. The final rule also corrects minor typographical errors, including updating telephone and fax numbers and email contact information for Hatch Act complaints. OSC is an independent agency responsible for, among other things:
(1)Investigation of allegations of prohibited personnel practices defined by law at 5 U.S.C. 2302(b);
(2)processing of whistleblower disclosures under 5 U.S.C. 1213; and
(3)the interpretation and enforcement of Hatch Act limitations on political activity in chapters 15 and 73 of title 5 of the U.S. Code. Procedural Determinations *Administrative Procedure Act (APA):* This action is taken under the Special Counsel's authority at 5 U.S.C. 1212(e) to publish regulations in the **Federal Register** . *Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review):* This final rule is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866. *Congressional Review Act (CRA):* This final rule is not a major rule under the Congressional Review Act, as it is unlikely to result in an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; is unlikely to result in a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual industries, federal, state, or local government agencies or geographic regions; and is unlikely to have a significant adverse effect on competition, employment, investment, productivity, or innovation, or on the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete in domestic and export markets. *Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA):* A regulatory flexibility analysis was not required and none was prepared. *Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA):* This final rule does not impose any federal mandates on state, local, or tribal governments, or on the private sector within the meaning of the UMRA. *National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA):* This final rule will have no physical impact upon the environment and therefore will not require any further review under NEPA. *Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA):* OSC submitted this final rule and collection to OMB for review pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501, *et seq.* OSC did not receive any comments regarding the proposed rule, the new form, or the information collection. *Title of Collection:* Form OSC-14: Electronic Submission of Allegations and Disclosures. The new electronic form will be available on publication of this rule on the OSC Web site at *http://www.osc.gov* . *Type of Information Collection Request:* Approval of new collection of information to replace a previously-approved collection of information. *Affected Public:* Current and former Federal employees, applicants for Federal employment, state and local government employees, and their representatives, and the general public. *Respondent's Obligation:* Voluntary. *Estimated Annual Number of Form OSC-14 Respondents:* 6,000 (estimated prohibited personnel practice filers = 4,000; estimated disclosure filers = 1,835; and estimated Hatch Act filers = 165). OSC based these estimates on a review of recent Annual Reports and an analysis of developing trends for this year. *Frequency of Use of Form OSC-14:* Daily. *Estimated Average Amount of Time for a Person to Respond Using Form OSC-14:* For prohibited personnel practice and other prohibited activities allegations, one hour and 15 minutes; for whistleblower disclosures, one hour; and for Hatch Act allegations, 30 minutes to complete the form. OSC based these estimates on testing completed by OSC employees during the development of the collection form. *Estimated Annual Burden for Filing Form OSC-14:* 6,917.5 hours. *Abstract:* The electronic form must be used by current and former Federal employees and applicants for Federal employment to submit allegations of possible prohibited personnel practices or other prohibited activity for investigation and possible prosecution by OSC, and to file disclosures of covered wrongdoing for review and possible referral to heads of agencies. The form may also be used by individuals to file complaints under the Hatch Act. *Executive Order 13132 (Federalism):* This final rule does not have new federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. *Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform):* This final rule meets applicable standards of 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988.

(a)*General.* OSC is authorized by law (at 5 U.S.C. 1213) to provide an independent and secure channel for use by current or former Federal employees and applicants for Federal employment in disclosing information that they reasonably believe shows wrongdoing by a Federal agency. OSC must determine whether there is a substantial likelihood that the information discloses a violation of any law, rule, or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. If it does, the law requires OSC to refer the information to the agency head involved for investigation and a written report on the findings to the Special Counsel. The law does not authorize OSC to investigate the subject of a disclosure.
(b)*Procedures for filing disclosures.* Current or former Federal employees, and applicants for Federal employment, may file a disclosure of the type of information described in paragraph
(a)of this section with OSC. Such disclosures must be filed in writing (including electronically—see paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this section).
