ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) is establishing U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:00 Aug 12, 2010 Jkt 220001 On December 6, 2000, the National Science and Technology Council, Office of Science and Technology Policy of the Executive Office of the President (OSTP), published in the Federal Register (65 FR 76260) the Federal Policy on Research Misconduct (OSTP Policy) as a final, government-wide policy addressing research misconduct. The purpose of the policy was to establish: (1) Uniformity among the Federal agencies’ definitions of research misconduct, and (2) consistency in Federal agencies’ processes for responding to allegations of research misconduct. The OSTP Policy covers both intramural research as well as extramural research. This rule establishes U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA or the Department) regulations to permanently implement the provisions of the OSTP Policy applicable to extramural research. An interim USDA Research Misconduct Policy was issued as a Secretary’s Memorandum on Research Misconduct Policies and Procedures in July, 2006. The Secretary’s Memorandum is consistent with the OSTP Policy. The substance of the regulation is the same as the policies and procedures in the Secretary’s Memorandum that relate to extramural research. Accordingly, all USDA agencies that conduct or support extramural research are expected either to: (1) Establish procedures to foster integrity in research activities, respond to allegations of research misconduct, and remedy findings of research misconduct, consistent with applicable laws, regulations, the OSTP Policy, and this proposed regulation; or (2) initiate and sign a standing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the agency and Research Education and Economics mission area to have another USDA agency act on its behalf in lieu of SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 49357 developing its own research misconduct procedures. The regulation sets forth in Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations, a new part 3022 (7 CFR part 3022), referred to below as the regulation. The rule defines a number of terms that are used in new part 3022. Definitions of the following terms are set forth in § 3022.1: Adjudication; Agency Research Integrity Officer (ARIO); allegation; applied research; Assistant Inspector General for Investigations; basic research; extramural research; fabrication; falsification; finding of research misconduct; inquiry; intramural research; investigation; OIG; OSTP; plagiarism; preponderance of the evidence; research; research institution; research misconduct; research record; USDA; and USDA Research Integrity Officer (RIO). Summary of Comments and Recommendations The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on November 24, 2008 (73 FR 70915), requesting comments from the public. Comments were received on the proposed rule from three organizations including The Council on Government Relations (COGR), Arizona State University (ASU), and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). ASU stated that it supported COGR’s comments which are evidenced by the comments being duplicative in nature. The comments are summarized as follows: (1) Comment: Concern that the proposed rule is intended only as core elements for the Department’s agencies and that individual agencies within the Department can and may implement separate policies that are consistent with the proposed rule. The Department is urged to reevaluate whether this approach achieves the Federal goals of consistency and uniformity. Response: The proposed rule implements the OSTP policy and serves as the core policy for the Department. The agencies may supplement the core with agency requirements. USDA’s approach is similar in nature to other streamlining efforts whereas there is a standard that is supplemented with agency specifics. This approach is necessary to meet the unique mission and structure of each agency within the Department while maintaining consistency to the extent possible. (2) Comment: A research institution must have the right to conduct an inquiry before reporting the allegation to the USDA. Such a provision is incorporated in the Federal Policy and common in the policies of other E:\FR\FM\13AUR1.SGM 13AUR1

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

5 CFR Part 532

RIN 3206-AM09


Prevailing Rate Systems; Nonappropriated Fund Wage and Survey 
Areas

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final 
rule to correct several minor formatting, spelling, and typographical 
errors in appendix D to subpart B of part 532--Nonappropriated Fund 
(NAF) Wage and Survey Areas. This document also corrects editorial or 
printing errors, inconsistencies, and omissions made in previously 
published rules. The purpose of this rule is not to make policy changes 
for Federal Wage System (FWS) NAF employees but rather to ensure 
Appendix D accurately reflects the correct wage area definitions for 
NAF employees as recommended by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory 
Committee (FPRAC). FWS NAF employees will not be affected by the 
corrections in this final rule because the lead agency for FWS NAF 
surveys has followed FPRAC recommended wage area definitions when 
conducting wage surveys and publishing wage schedules. For the 
convenience of the reader, Appendix D is being reprinted in its 
entirety.

DATES: This rule is effective on September 13, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madeline Gonzalez, (202) 606-2838; e-
mail pay-performance-policy@opm.gov; or FAX: (202) 606-4264.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 6, 2010, the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (75 FR 17316) to make 
several minor corrections to appendix D to subpart B of part 532--
Nonappropriated Fund (NAF) Wage and Survey Areas. The revisions 
contained in this rule concern formatting, spelling, and typographical 
errors. This document also corrects editorial or printing errors, 
inconsistencies, and omissions made in previously published rules. The 
purpose of this rule is not to make policy changes for Federal Wage 
System (FWS) NAF employees but rather to ensure Appendix D accurately 
reflects the correct wage area definitions for NAF employees as 
recommended by the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee (FPRAC). 
FWS NAF employees are not affected by the corrections in this final 
rule because the lead agency for FWS NAF surveys has followed FPRAC 
recommended wage area definitions when conducting wage surveys and 
publishing wage schedules. Appendix D is being reprinted in its 
entirety. The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period, during which 
OPM received no comments. Therefore, we are adopting the proposed rule 
as final.
