APPALACHIAN REGIONAL COMMISSION

5 CFR Part 1900


Repeal of Employee Responsibilities and Conduct Regulations for 
Appalachian Regional Commission Federal Employees (Federal Staff); 
Correction

AGENCY: Appalachian Regional Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Appalachian Regional Commission is correcting one 
erroneous citation in its employee responsibilities and conduct 
regulation published on December 7, 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective March 26, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Guy Paul Land, Counsel to the Federal Co-Chairman, Appalachian Regional 
Commission, 1666 Connecticut Avenue NW., Washington, D.C. 20235, 202-
884-7660.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Appalachian Regional Commission is 
correcting one erroneous citation to the Office of Government Ethics 
(OGE) executive branchwide standards of ethical conduct regulation 
which appeared in the ARC's revision to 5 CFR Part 1900, published in 
the Federal Register of Thursday, December 7, 1995, on page 62702. The 
OGE executive branchwide standards of ethical conduct regulation was 
erroneously cited as codified at CFR Part 3635. This final rule 
corrects that citation to read 5 CFR Part 2635.

Administrative Procedure Act

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C 553(b), the Appalachian Regional Commission 
finds good cause exists for waiving the general notice of proposed 
rulemaking as to this final rule. The notice is being waived because 
this rulemaking relating to ARC Federal employees concerns matters of 
agency organization, practice and procedure. Further, it is in the 
public interest that the citation be corrected as soon as possible.

Executive Order 12866

    In promulgating this final regulation, the Appalachian Regional 
Commission has adhered to the regulatory philosophy and the applicable 
principles of regulation set forth in section 1 of Executive Order 
12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This final rule has not been 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget under that Executive 
order, since it deals with agency organization, management, and 
personnel matters and is not in any event deemed ``significant'' 
thereunder.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Appalachian Regional Commission has determined under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) that this regulation 
will not have a significant impact on small business entities because 
it affects only ARC Federal employees.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Appalachian Regional Commission has determined that the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) does not apply because 
this regulation does not contain any information collection 
requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and 
Budget.

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Part 1900

    Conflict of interest, Government employees.

    Approved: February 29, 1996.
Jesse L. White, Jr.,
Federal Co-Chairman, Appalachian Regional Commission.

    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the final rule published 
on December 7, 1995 (60 FR 62702) is corrected as follows:


Sec. 1900.100  [Corrected]

    On page 62702, in the third column, in Sec. 1900.100, ``5 CFR part 
3635'' is corrected to read ``5 CFR part 2635''.
