Title: ●Protection for Whistle Blowers in the Coast Guard (USCG-2009-10239) | |
Abstract: The Coast Guard is amending its "Coast Guard Whistleblower Protection" regulations to conform to statutory protections for all members of the armed forces. The revised regulations broaden the protection already afforded uniformed members of the Coast Guard by: (1) providing other persons and organizations in addition to members of Congress or an Inspector General to whom Coast Guard members may take protected communications, and (2) expanding the subject matter of protected communications to include sexual harassment and discrimination, among other subjects. Additionally, changes to the regulations update the responsibilities of the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security to conform to relevant statutory provisions. | |
