## Abstract

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) is soliciting comments on a new interim rule that would amend the section of its Rules Regarding Equal Opportunity (EEO Rules) which governs the employment of persons who are not United States citizens consistent with the Board's requirements for the security of its information. The amendment revises an earlier interim rule that clarified the limitations on access to sensitive information by non- citizen employees to Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) information. The amendment, which concerns the internal management of the Board, is issued as an immediately effective interim rule, with opportunity for public comment, to ensure that hiring decisions facing the Board can be made as soon as possible.
