The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) has adopted a final rule that amends 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 to this rule was first published on November 8, 2005, as an immediately effective interim rule with opportunity for public comment. The Board received no comments on the rule. On its own initiative, to address additional operational issues, the Board made further changes to the rule and on August 7, 2006, published a new immediately effective interim rule with opportunity for public comment. The Board received no comments on the rule. With the changes discussed below, the Board is now adopting the August 7, 2006, interim rule as the final rule.
