This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission.
Final rule; technical amendments.
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is issuing a final rule to make nomenclature changes to reflect that the Commission's Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations are administered by the Commission's Office of the General Counsel. Accordingly, references in the regulation to the Office of the Executive Director are removed and replaced with the Office of the General Counsel.
Effective September 9, 2026.
Rory P. Smith, Attorney-Advisor, Office of the General Counsel, Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Suite 1400N, Washington, DC 20004, (202) 525-8649.
This document amends two final rules in the Commission's Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations at 29 CFR part 2701. The amendment is made to reflect that pursuant to agency practice, correspondence related to the Sunshine Act are directed to and handled by the Commission's Office of the General Counsel. Accordingly, references to the “Executive Director” are corrected to refer to the “General Counsel”.
Because this amendment deals with agency management and procedures, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) and (b)(3)(A).
Accordingly, 29 CFR part 2701 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
1. The authority citation for part 2701 continues to read as follows:
2. In § 2701.4, remove the words “Executive Director” and add in their place the words “General Counsel”.
3. In § 2701.5, remove the words “Executive Director” and add in their place the words “General Counsel”.
Dated: September 4, 2026.
Rory P. Smith,
Attorney-Advisor, Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission.
