Title: Political Activity--Federal Employees Residing in Designated Localities
Abstract: Congress amended the Hatch Act through the Hatch Act Reform Amendments of 1993. An interim regulation with a request for comments was issued on February 4, 1994, 59 FR 5313. In view of the comments submitted on the interim regulation, substantive revisions to the regulation were proposed (June 24, 1997, 62 FR 34017). The proposed regulation would broaden employee coverage to include employees who work in the sensitive agencies and positions described in 5 U.S.C. 7323(b), specifically describe political activities which the Reform Amendments permit and prohibit in connection with employee participation in elections for local partisan political office in the designated localities, and add two localities to the regulatory list of designated localities.
