Final rule. AGENCY: ycherry on PROD1PC64 with RULES ACTION: SUMMARY: This final rule amends the regulations of the Department of Justice to codify the obligation to report misconduct to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:39 Sep 14, 2006 Jkt 208001 Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), to reflect the conferral of statutory law enforcement authority on OIG special agents, to update the structure, functions, and responsibilities of OPR, and to reflect the current organizational structure of the OIG. DATES: Effective Date: September 11, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Anne Hoopes, Associate Counsel, Office of Professional Responsibility, United States Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530 (202) 514–3365 (regarding matters related to OPR), or Gail A. Robinson, General Counsel, Office of the Inspector General, United States Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530 (202) 616–0646 (regarding matters related to the OIG). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. This rule amends 28 CFR part 0 to clarify the delegation of authority by the Attorney General to the Counsel for Professional Responsibility and to codify authority of the Inspector General. This rule permits OPR and the OIG to investigate specific matters, make such recommendations as appropriate to the Deputy Attorney General and the Attorney General, and coordinate their activities to improve the professionalism of the Department and to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse. 2. This rule amends 28 CFR part 45 by adding three new sections. The rule codifies the Attorney General’s April 12, 2002 Memorandum For Department of Justice Employees Regarding the Duty to Report Misconduct and Cooperate with Investigators. This Memorandum provides for notifying the OIG of fraud, waste, abuse, or misconduct, except for those matters in the jurisdiction of OPR. This rule is not a substantive change, but merely codifies existing practice. The rule also implements section 308 of the Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act for FY 2002 and 2003, Public Law 107–273 (Nov. 2, 2002), which amended 5 U.S.C. app. 3, 8E, and which provides in pertinent part: The Attorney General shall ensure by regulation that any component of the Department of Justice receiving a nonfrivolous allegation of criminal wrongdoing or administrative misconduct by an employee of the Department of Justice, except with respect to allegations described in subsection (b)(3) [matters within the investigative jurisdiction of the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility], shall report that information to the Inspector General. This rule is also a codification of preexisting principles as set forth in the United States Attorneys’ Manual, PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 § 1–4.100, Standards of Conduct Allegations of Misconduct by Department of Justice Employees Reporting Misconduct Allegations. Although the language of section 308 of P.L. 107–273 is not identical to the prior regulations on this subject, the Attorney General interprets the statutory language as intended to codify the prior and existing practice. 3. This rule revises the description of OPR to reflect the changes made in that Office’s jurisdiction since its creation on December 9, 1975, including AG Order 833–79 (45 FR 27754–55, April 24, 1980); AG Order 1931–94 (November 8, 1994), AG Order 2167–98 (63 FR 35847, July 8, 1998), AG Order 2190–98 (63 FR 62937–01, November 10, 1998), and AG Order 2492–2001 (66 FR 37902–01, July 20, 2001). As originally constituted, OPR’s jurisdiction was extraordinarily broad. OPR was empowered to ‘‘[r]eceive and review any information or allegation concerning conduct by a Department employee that may be in violation of law, regulations or orders, or of applicable standards of conduct or may constitute mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety.’’ 28 CFR 0.39a(a). Its role in investigating those allegations, however, was relatively narrow, in keeping with its small size. OPR was to ‘‘[m]ake such preliminary inquiry as may be necessary to determine whether the matter should be referred to another official within the Department,’’ 28 CFR 0.39a(c), and then to make an appropriate referral either to the head of the Department of Justice component to which the employee was assigned, or to that component’s internal inspection unit, if no violation of law was alleged, or to the appropriate investigative agency, if the conduct appeared to involve a violation of law, 28 CFR 0.39a(d)(1) and (2). OPR then received reports from the investigating component on the status and outcome of investigations referred by OPR. 28 CFR 0.39a(e)(1). If OPR deemed it inappropriate to refer an allegation to the employing component, it was to refer the matter to the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General, or, if that would be inappropriate, to the Associate Attorney General or the Solicitor General. 28 CFR 0.39a(d)(3). In that event, OPR was to ‘‘recommend what further action should be undertaken’’ with respect to the allegation, ‘‘including the assignment of any task force or individual to undertake the action recommended.’’ 28 CFR 0.39a(g). Finally, under 28 CFR 0.39a(h), OPR was authorized to E:\FR\FM\15SER1.SGM 15SER1
