With respect to existing non-competesi.e., non-competes entered into before the effective datethe final rule adopts a different approach for senior executives than for other workers.

The final rule also exempts temporary quarters (TQ) located in Presidentially-Declared Disaster areas from the "reasonable proximity" requirement and allows agencies to authorize TQSE at the applicable locality per diem allowance or authorize actual expenses on an individual basis. This rule establishes an exception to authorizing actual expenses on an individual basis by which agencies can issue a blanket actual expense authorization for employees authorized to occupy TQ in Presidentially-Declared Disaster areas. The final rule will also update and clarify some TQSE sections and rearrange them into a more sequential order.
