The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is updating its rules of practice and procedure to clarify that certain roles within the agency, previously performed by the Executive Secretary, will now be carried out by appointed Administrative Officers. This change aligns with the longstanding practice of appointing Administrative Law Judges as inferior officers. The update also includes technical revisions to outdated job titles within the FDIC, and these changes do not significantly affect the public or non-agency individuals. The final rule took effect on January 12, 2021, without the need for public comment as it pertains to internal agency procedures.

The Department of Labor is making corrections to a rule published on January 11, 2021, regarding filing and service procedures. The rule mandated electronic filing and service for legal representatives in cases before the Administrative Review Board unless there is a good reason to file non-electronically. Corrections are being made to ensure two section headings in the Code of Federal Regulations are revised as intended, changing terminology from "authority head" to "ARB" to clarify responsibilities, and adjusting a heading to match others in the same chapter. These changes aim to accurately reflect the original intent of the final rule.
