I choose “Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Coverage for Certain Intermittent Employees”. The Office of Personnel Management controls this proposed regulation. I am pursuing my MBA with a concentration in accounting, but my second choice would have been HealthCare management so by choosing this regulation I will have a better understanding of the type of regulations currently in place or being proposed. At this time the regulation proposed does not have a direct impact on myself, nor the business I am in. I have attached a copy of the proposed regulation at then end of this assignment. The Office of Personnel Management is proposing to temporary adjust the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program regulations to make sure employees who work sporadic schedules are eligible to be enrolled in a health benefits under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The Office of Personnel Management intentions on proposing this regulation is to allow agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency also known as FEMA to apply to OPM for “authorization to offer FEHBP coverage to intermittent employees engaged in emergency response functions.” The Office of Personnel Management is proposing to provide health coverage to those who work as temps/part time in emergency response functions. This proposal should be passed not only temporary but permanently. Agencies and companies look for employees as temps or part time workers because in most cases they don’t have to provide employees with health insurance. Coming from a middle class family I have seen family members and friends sufferings because they are unable to go to the doctor since they don’t have medical insurance. The comments start date was November 14, 2012 and are due by January 14, 2013 11:59PM. Once I have submitted my comment on the proposed regulation I can challenge the validity after it becomes a law. In this particular case I must comment during November 14, 2012 to January 14, 2012, in order to challenge regulation. The public comment period cannot be less then 30 days and it’s open to private citizens, businesspeople, corporations, government officials and industry representatives. If the proposal passes I can use five legal theories in an attempt to overturn or declare the regulation invalid in court. One legal theory I can use is the Arbitrary and Capricious, which is an abuse of discretion or is a violation of some other law. The agency must show evidences to support to the proposed rule. If there’s no evidence to support the proposed rule, this where it can be an abuse of discretion or violation. The second legal theory that can be used to overturn a regulation is by completing a substantial evidence test, which is that a regulation is unsupported by substantial evidence. This theory requires more convincing evidence then proof or basis for the regulation. The third legal theory is that an agency did not obey the APA requirements of notice, publication and public comment/input. A fourth theory is that a regulation is unconstitutional. The regulations that are challenged through constitutional grounds deal with an agency authority to search records or that impose discriminatory requirements for licensing professionals. The final theory to challenge a regulation is ultra vires, which means beyond its powers. This theory states that the regulation goes beyond the power given to the agency in permitting the act. If the regulation “Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Coverage for Certain Intermittent Employees” was to pass and I would want it overturned the two best theories to challenge the regulation would the agency did not follow APA requirements and Arbitrary and Capricious. Even though the regulation was proposed last week it could easily be states that the agency did not have enough notices, publications and/or public comment inputs, therefore did not follow the APA requirements. I would also use the theory of substantial evidence test. I the agency should provided further convincing evidence as to why changes should take place on the “Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Coverage for Certain Intermittent Employees”. Even though it uses Hurricane Sandy as substantial evidence, which in this case hits home to many people, I do believe there’s a lack of substantial evidence.

Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Coverage for Certain Intermittent Employees

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Interim final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing an interim final rule to amend the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) regulations to make certain employees who work on intermittent schedules eligible to be enrolled in a health benefits plan under the FEHBP. This rule is intended to allow agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to apply to OPM for authorization to offer FEHBP coverage to intermittent employees engaged in emergency response functions.

DATES: This rule is effective November 9, 2012. OPM must receive comments on or before January 14, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Michael W. Kaszynski, Senior Policy
Analyst, Planning and Policy Analysis, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Room 3415, 1900 E Street NW. Washington, DC; or FAX to (202) 606-4640 Attn: Michael Kaszynski. You may also submit comments using the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael W. Kaszynski at
Michael.Kaszynski@opm.gov or (202) 606-0004.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 17, 2012, OPM issued an interim final regulation to extend eligibility for health insurance coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits program (FEHBP) to temporary firefighters and fire protection personnel. 77 FR 42417. In addition, in recognition of the fact that there may be other groups of employees not currently covered by the FEHB program because of the temporary nature of their appointments, the rule allowed agencies to request that OPM extend FEHB coverage to similarly situated temporary employees. We also solicited comments from the public regarding whether OPM should explicitly provide FEHBP coverage to employees who are appointed pursuant to Section 306(b)(1) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5149(b)(1)) (``Stafford Act'') to respond to major disasters and emergencies declared by the President. OPM is currently reviewing the comments it received in response to its interim final regulation.

Federal agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), have worked and continue to work with state and local partners to respond to this Hurricane Sandy. Over 3,000 FEMA employees were immediately deployed to the hardest hit areas. These FEMA workers may be exposed to dangerous conditions, and put their health and safety at risk in order to assist those who have been affected by the storm. Because many of these FEMA employees work intermittent schedules within the meaning of 5 CFR 340.403, they are not eligible for FEHBP coverage under OPM's regulations, specifically 5 CFR 890.102(c)(3).

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 8913(b), OPM has broad authority to prescribe the conditions under which employees are eligible to enroll in the FEHB program. It is empowered to include or exclude employees on the basis of the nature and type of their employment or conditions pertaining to their appointments, ``such as short term appointment, seasonal or intermittent employment, and employment of like nature.'' Id. Intermittent emergency response employees often work in conditions that may expose them to various environmental hazards, similar to the wild-land firefighters covered by the regulation described above. In light of the need for agencies to attract and bring emergency workers on board quickly and in recognition of the hazardous conditions those employees often face, OPM has concluded that its current policy of categorically excluding intermittent employees from FEHBP coverage is no longer in the public interest and should be changed. Therefore, OPM is issuing this interim regulation to allow agencies to request FEHBP coverage for intermittent employees engaged in emergency response and recovery work as defined by the Stafford Act. In addition, if OPM grants any such requests, it is reserving the authority to limit FEHBP coverage for intermittent employees only to the periods during which they are in a pay status. This would promote parity between intermittent employees and temporary employees like the wild-land firefighters, who receive FEHBP coverage only when called up for duty. It would also allow OPM the discretion to craft an appropriate approach to health insurance coverage based on the potentially diverse work schedules of intermittent employees.

Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking

OPM is issuing this regulation as an interim final rule. Under section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.), an agency may issue a final rule without first publishing a general notice of proposed rulemaking when it determines, for good cause, that notice and public comment are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. We have determined that this standard is satisfied. Hurricane Sandy left death and massive destruction in its wake. Many of the people in the storm's path continue to be exposed both to the elements (just as colder weather has arrived) and to inherently hazardous conditions where they are located and are thus in immediate need of emergency assistance. FEMA is playing a major role, working with state and local partners, to provide this assistance. Therefore, the federal government has a critical need to deploy additional qualified emergency response workers to serve the American people. Furthermore, emergency response workers are voluntarily exposing themselves to hazardous working conditions every day. They have a need for health insurance coverage to obtain preventive care, to allow for early detection of potentially serious conditions, and to address any health issues that may arise as a result of their service. The regulatory obstacle preventing such agencies as FEMA from submitting a request for FEHBP coverage of these men and women should thus be eliminated without delay.

Because of these conditions, OPM has determined that it would be impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest to delay putting the provisions of this interim final regulation in place until a public notice and comment process has been completed. We find good cause to waive the notice of proposed rulemaking and to issue this final rule on an interim basis. We will accept public comments on this interim final rule for 60 days.

We are also dispensing with the usual requirement that a new rule not take effect until 30 days after it is issued. Instead, this rule is effective immediately upon public display. Immediate effectiveness is authorized because this is a substantive rule granting an exception to the prohibition on providing health insurance coverage to intermittent employees. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1). Moreover, for the reasons set forth above, there is good cause to make this rule effective immediately.

Regulatory Flexibility Act I certify that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the regulation only adds additional groups to the list of groups eligible for coverage under FEHB.

Executive Orders 13563 and 12866, Regulatory Review This rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with Executive Orders 13563 and 12866.

Federalism We have examined this rule in accordance with Executive Order 13132, Federalism, and have determined that this rule will not have any negative impact on the rights, roles and responsibilities of State, local, or tribal governments.

Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (Food and Drug Administration) The reason I chose this agency and this particular regulation is because of my concern with the number of food borne illnesses. I’m a single mom of two and I want to make sure that my family isn’t exposed to food borne illnesses. Also, being in the Military and deploying it’s crucial that the FDA step in to make sure that food that’s supplied for us to eat while deployed is within standards. On one of my deployment we were hit with a case of salmonella poisoning that shut down a good portion of the base because of sickness from consumption. We were later told that the contaminated items were on our salad bar. When in a deployed location in a foreign country the last thing you need is for your troops to be anything but ready for combat, so situations like these have to be maintained. 2) Describe the proposal/change The first rule proposed would require makers of food to be sold in the United States, whether produced at a foreign- or domestic-based facility, to develop a formal plan for preventing their food products from causing foodborne illness.

As an avid animal lover, I am very interested in the regulations proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. This particular proposal surrounding chimpanzees is close to my heart since there are a great number of laboratories performing testing on chimpanzees every day. Chimps often die as a result of the testing being performed. Chimpanzees are becoming more endangered both in the wild and in captivity. While this proposed regulation has no direct effect on my current business, there would be indirect effects relating to the laboratory experiments or lack thereof. If laboratories were unable to use chimpanzees to test medications and make up for example, there could be a decrease in the production of these products. A decrease of production in these products could result in higher costs for the consumer. 2. Describe the proposal/change.
