摘要

OS is correcting a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2025, with an effective date of October 21, 2025. The Standards of Conduct Final Rule revises, republishes, and renumbers, as needed, the sections of part 73 that have not been superseded and continue to be important to the efficient functioning of the Department to ensure they are consistent with current law and Department policy or procedures. It includes required provisions related to counter-trafficking in persons and removes all superseded and obsolete provisions, including parts 73a and 73b, in their entirety.
