2023-10496. Processing Garnishment Orders for Child Support and/or Alimony and Commercial Garnishment of Federal Employees' Pay

AGENCY:

Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is amending the rules for processing garnishment orders for child support and/or alimony (“support regulations”) and the rules for processing commercial garnishment orders. This rule amends both the support regulations and the commercial garnishment regulations to update the list of agents designated to accept legal process under the relevant appendices of our regulations and deletes a duplicative reference.

DATES:

This rule is effective June 20, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Melanie Watson by telephone at (202) 606–1700 or by email at [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OPM has been advised by various agencies of the need for amendments to the list of agents designated to receive legal process under 5 CFR part 581, appendix A, and 5 CFR part 582, appendix A. This rule updates the list of agents and deletes a duplicate reference in 5 CFR part 582, appendix A, that is already listed under 5 CFR part 581, appendix A, with respect to how to serve Navy Exchange Service Command non-appropriated fund employees.

Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory Impact Analysis

This rule has been determined to be significant, but not economically significant, for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and therefore has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule only makes administrative changes to the listing of designated agents for agencies for ease, clarity, and transparency, and therefore does not have economically significant effects.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

OPM certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as this rule only applies to Federal agencies and employees.

Federalism

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

Civil Justice Reform

This regulation meets the applicable standard set forth in Executive Order 12988.

Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995

This rule will not result in the expenditure by state, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any year and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not impose any new reporting or record-keeping requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.

List of Subjects in 5 CFR Parts 581 and 582

• Alimony
• Child support
• Claims
• Government employees
• Wages
