Designation of Officers and Employees of the United States for Coverage Under Section 1114 of Title 18 of the United States Code

Resumo

Part 64 of title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, designates categories of federal officers and employees who, in addition to those already designated by statute, warrant the protective coverage of federal criminal law. This designation confers federal jurisdiction to prosecute the killing, attempted killing, kidnaping, forcible assault, intimidation or interference with any of the federal officers or employees designated by this regulation while they are engaged in or on account of the performance of their official duties. This order adds to the list of covered federal officers and employees federal administrative law judges not previously covered and employees of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs of the Department of Labor who adjudicate and administer claims under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and its extension, and the Black Lung Benefits Act. The order also makes technical corrections and deletes duplicative designations.
