Nomenclature Change Related to Assistant General Counsel Titles

The Department is effectuating nomenclature changes throughout Title 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations to remove all references to an outdated official title ("Assistant General Counsel for Employment, Litigation and Information") and replace them with updated references to the appropriate official (the "Assistant General Counsel for Litigation and Strategic Support" or the "Assistant General Counsel for Information Security and Emerging Technologies"). This action is necessary to reflect the current structure and roles within the Department and to ensure that the regulations at Title 15 remain up to date and refer the public to the appropriate officials. This action is intended to promote clarity and efficiency without making any substantive changes to any regulations.
