3461. [bull] REPEAL OF 45 CFR PART 604, SUBPART F, AGENCY REPORTS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, PL 104-65, 109 Stat 
691 (1995)

CFR Citation: 45 CFR 604, subpart F

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The National Science Foundation will be deleting subpart F 
(``Agency Reports'') of 45 CFR part 604, which requires the Director to 
submit a semiannual compilation on lobbying disclosures to Congress. 
This subpart also requires the Inspector General to perform annual 
evaluations of NSF's compliance with the requirements related to 
lobbying activity by its employees and submit these evaluations to 
Congress. The statute mandating the filing of these reports has been 
repealed, so subpart F no longer has any force or effect.
