SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Primary Dealers Act of 1988, 22 U.S.C. 5341–5342 (Act), the Federal Reserve may not designate a person of a foreign country as a primary dealer, or allow a person of a foreign country to retain designation as a primary dealer, if that person’s country does not grant to U.S. companies the same competitive opportunities to underwrite and distribute that country’s government debt instruments as that country accords to its domestic companies. A ‘‘person of a foreign country’’ includes any foreign individual or company that directly or indirectly controls a primary dealer. The Board has made determinations under the Act with respect to six foreign countries: Japan (1989), the United Kingdom (1989), Switzerland (1989) Germany (1990), France (1992), and the Netherlands (1998). A U.S. bank holding company owned by a Spanish firm intends to acquire a U.S. broker-dealer that is currently designated as a primary dealer. Under the Act, the broker-dealer would not be permitted to retain its designation as a primary dealer following its acquisition by the Spanish firm without a determination under the Act that Spain affords the same competitive opportunities to U.S. firms to underwrite and distribute Spanish government debt instruments as Spain accords to Spanish firms.

ACTION: Notice of GSA Bulletin FTR 22– 03, Applicability of the Federal Travel Regulation Part 301–13 to Employees who are Nursing. AGENCY: GSA Bulletin FTR 22–03 provides guidance to agencies subject to the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) to clarify that ‘‘special needs’’ travel may include reasonable accommodations for employees who breastfeed. DATES: Applicability Date: This notice is effective upon date of publication.

Please cite Notice of GSA Bulletin FTR 22–03. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: Background Federal agencies can accommodate an employee’s special needs while on temporary duty travel pursuant to the FTR, Part 301–13. Per § 301–13.2, an agency can pay for additional travel expenses to accommodate a special physical need which is either: (a) Clearly visible and discernible; or (b) substantiated in writing by a competent medical authority. In recent years, agencies and employees have asked whether employees who breastfeed have a VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Oct 26, 2021 Jkt 256001 special need that agencies may accommodate while the employee is on temporary duty travel (TDY). Employees who breastfeed and go on official travel orders face a physical challenge that other employees who are not breastfeeding do not. Travel away from home usually requires the employee to be away from the child. While milk can be expressed beforehand and left for a caregiver, sometimes there is not enough to last the duration of the trip and milk must be safely stored and shipped back home. In order to not force employees to make a choice between nursing or fulfilling work duties, Federal agencies may recognize that a nursing employee on official travel has a special need, as verified per regulatory requirements. Agencies may determine that the special need means that a spouse, nanny, or other attendant can accompany the employee on the trip at Government expense in order to watch the child in between the employee’s reasonable break periods to breastfeed while working at the temporary duty station. If no attendant is necessary, an employee on official travel may still need to use services for storage and shipment of breast milk to the child.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: CDC is dedicated to protecting health and promoting quality of life through the prevention and control of disease, injury, and disability. NIOSH was established by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. NIOSH plans, directs, and coordinates a national program to develop and establish recommended occupational safety and health standards, conduct research and training, provide technical assistance, and perform related activities to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for every working person in the United States. In 1997, when the mine safety and health function was transferred from the Bureau of Mines (BOM) to NIOSH, NIOSH took over the lease for a facility referred to as the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine (LLEM). The BOM had leased the LLEM facility since 1982. The LLEM is located 60 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The LLEM and its aboveground fire testing facility were primarily used for studies and research on mine explosions, mine seals, mine rescue, ventilation, diesel exhaust, new health and safety technologies, ground control, and fire suppression. After December 2012, the property was no longer available for long-term leasing. CDC attempted to purchase the underlying property on which LLEM is located, but NIOSH vacated the LLEM after market-based E:\FR\FM\27OCN1.SGM 27OCN1
