SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In FR Doc. 2023-19269, appearing in the Federal Register of Tuesday, September 12, 2023, on page 62445, instruction 10 revised paragraphs (a) through (c) of §?2424.25, but regulatory text was set out for paragraphs (a) through (d).

PART 2424-NEGOTIABILITY PROCEEDINGS

1. The authority citation for part 2424 continues to read as follows:

Authority:

5 U.S.C. 7134.

2. Amend §?2424.25 by revising paragraph (d) to read as follows:

§?2424.25 Response of the exclusive representative; purpose; time limits; content; severance; service.

(d) Severance. The exclusive representative may, of its own accord, accomplish the severance of a previously submitted proposal or provision. To accomplish severance, the exclusive representative must identify the proposal or provision that the exclusive representative is severing and set forth the exact wording of the newly severed portion(s). Further, as part of the exclusive representative's explanation and argument about why the newly severed portion(s) are within the duty to bargain or not contrary to law, the exclusive representative must explain how the severed portion(s) stand alone with independent meaning, and how the severed portion(s) would operate. The explanation and argument in support of the severed portion(s) must meet the same requirements for specific information set forth in paragraph (c) of this section, and must satisfy the exclusive representative's burdens under §?2424.32.
