SUMMARY: The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is issuing a final rule to make nomenclature changes to reflect that the Commission's Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations are administered by the Commission's Office of the General Counsel. Accordingly, references in the regulation to the Office of the Executive Director are removed and replaced with the Office of the General Counsel. DATES: Effective September 9, 2026.

Smith, Attorney-Advisor, Office of the General Counsel, Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Suite 1400N, Washington, DC 20004, (202) 525-8649. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document amends two final rules in the Commission's Government in the Sunshine Act Regulations at 29 CFR part 2701. The amendment is made to reflect that pursuant to agency practice, correspondence related to the Sunshine Act are directed to and handled by the Commission's Office of the General Counsel. Accordingly, references to the “Executive Director” are corrected to refer to the “General Counsel”. Because this amendment deals with agency management and procedures, the notice and comment provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act do not apply pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) and (b)(3)(A).
