SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A list of the 18 FCA Board policy statements 
is set forth below. FCA Board policy statements may be viewed online at 
www.fca.gov/handbook.nsf.
    On August 8, 2016, the FCA Board updated FCA-PS-62 on, ``Equal 
Employment Opportunity and Diversity.'' The policy was published in the 
Federal Register on August 12, 2016 (81 FR 53482). The policy was 
slightly edited at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's 
recommendation to indicate that FCA begins prompt, thorough, and 
impartial investigations within 10 days of receiving notice of 
harassment allegations.
    The FCA will continue to publish new or revised policy statements 
in their full text.
