The publisher's summary

By this rule, the Department amends the regulations governing testimony by its current and former employees and the production of its documents in legal proceedings. This rule amends those regulations by removing and/or replacing language that is redundant, that references other authorities, or that provides only unnecessary elaboration. This action is necessary to streamline the Department's regulations and reduce regulatory complexity. This action is intended to promote efficiency and simplicity, and to minimize the risk of confusion and/or distraction, without significantly altering any entitlements, obligations, or processes in connection with testimony by Department employees or the production of Department documents.
