OPM is seeking comment on a draft NDA to be used by federal agencies for \u201cboth new and existing employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe form is intended to document Federal employees\u2019 acknowledgment of, and agreement to comply with, current legal obligations to safeguard non-public, confidential, or proprietary information, created or obtained through their official duties, while expressly preserving the right to make disclosures authorized by law,\u201d the notice said.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed notice seeks comment on several questions, including whether the NDA should cover only unclassified information and what appropriate actions, if any, agencies should consider for new or current employees who choose not to sign the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>The OPM noted \u201cseveral recent instances\u201d where internal agency communications related to rulemaking and policy development were disclosed without authorization. It also discussed specific instances in which federal employees at the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security disclosed information about planned immigration enforcement actions without authorization.<\/p>\n<p>In one case, The New York Times and The Washington Post received unauthorized information on the U.S. raid on Venezuela this past January and delayed \u201cpublishing what they knew to avoid endangering U.S. troops,\u201d the OPM request for comment said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=851\">Colfax bar and burger joint closes suddenly after 2 years<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A Washington Post spokesperson declined to comment.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Charles Stadtlander, executive director of Media Relations and Communications for the Times, said in an email that the paper had extensive reporting on operations targeting Venezuela and preparations for land-based military operations. \u201cContrary to some claims, however, The Times did not have verified details about the pending operation to capture Maduro or a story prepared, nor did we withhold publication at the request of the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ferreting out leaks that the administration deems harmful to its messaging has been a priority across multiple agencies since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. As part of that crackdown, the FBI in January seized the electronic devices of a Washington Post reporter, a move that alarmed media organizations and advocates of press freedom.<\/p>\n<p>One other notable incident occurred\u00a0last year when dozens of reporters turned in their access badges at the Pentagon, rejecting new rules imposed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that would leave journalists vulnerable to expulsion if they sought to report on information \u2014 classified or otherwise \u2014 that had not been approved by Hegseth for release.<\/p>\n<p>The American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley said in a statement that OPM\u2019s proposed rule is part of a continuing effort to silence federal employees.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis proposed NDA is another attempt by the administration to purge the civil service of nonpartisan career employees and replace them with loyalists who won\u2019t speak out against waste, fraud, and abuse,\u201d Kelley said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=849\">Releasing cool water protects fish in the Grand Canyon.
