Résumé

The Department of Justice (Department) adopts as final, with certain changes discussed below, the interim rule published last year in the Federal Register establishing procedures under which employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) may make disclosures of information protected by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. The interim rule also established procedures under which the Department will investigate allegations by FBI employees of reprisal for making such protected disclosures, and under which it will take appropriate corrective action.
