SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the final rule “Sunset of the Pathways Presidential Management Fellows Program” (90 FR 38604; Aug. 11, 2025), OPM erred in its amendments to regulatory text at 5 CFR 315.713. The final rule removed paragraph (a)(3). As a result, paragraph (a)(2) is now the last paragraph and incorrectly retained the word “and”, which needs to be removed and replaced with a “.” to close out the paragraph. Similarly, paragraph (a)(1) needs to have the word “and” added as it is now the penultimate subparagraph in paragraph (a). This final rule corrects those errors.

Procedural Issues and Regulatory Review

A. Administrative Procedure Act

As explained above, this correcting amendment is necessary to correct an editorial error in the final rule. Therefore, OPM has determined, pursuant to 553(b)(3)(B), that prior notice and opportunity for public comment are impractical and unnecessary. Public comment could not inform this process in any meaningful way. We have further determined that, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the agency has good cause to make this correction effective upon publication.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

This correcting amendment will not have a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

C. Regulatory Review

OIRA has determined this rule is not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866. Therefore, this rule is not an E.O. 14192 regulatory action because it is not significant under E.O. 12866.

D. Federalism

This regulation will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with E.O. 13132 (Aug. 10, 1999), it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

E. Civil Justice Reform

This regulation meets the applicable standards set forth in section 3(a) and (b)(2) of E.O. 12988 (Feb. 7, 1996).

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

This rulemaking will not result in the expenditure by State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of more than $100 million annually (adjusted annually for inflation with the base year 1995). Thus, no written assessment of unfunded mandates is required.

G. Congressional Review Act

OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined this rule does not satisfy the criteria listed in 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

H. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35)

This regulatory action will not impose any reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Accordingly, 5 CFR part 315 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
