Final rule · 2026-04315

Cooperation With the Office of Special Counsel of the Merit Systems Protection Board

This final rule removes this DoD regulation concerning cooperation with the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) in carrying out OSC's responsibilities to conduct investigations of alleged prohibited personnel practices and ensure the investigation of other allegations of improper or illegal conduct that OSC refers to DoD. This part does not reflect the current policy set forth in the DoD directive referenced in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section, and is being removed rather than updated. The rule does not impose obligations on members of the public. Therefore, this part may be removed from the CFR.
