ABOUT GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS


On October 9, 2019, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13891, titled Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents. Additionally, on October 31, 2019, the Office of Management and Budget issued Memorandum M 20-02, providing guidance for implementing E.O. 13891, per Section 6 of that Order. That memorandum provided agencies with instructions for complying with the requirements of E.O. 13891, including guidance for developing or reviewing new or existing guidance documents, as well as when proposing and finalizing regulations under Section 4 of the Order. The E.O. builds upon the requirements in the Freedom of Information Act and requires each agency to establish a single, searchable, indexed website that contains, or links to, all of the agencies' respective guidance documents currently in effect. Accordingly, consistent with the requirements of the E.O., the contents of the following guidance documents of the Railroad Retirement Board do not have the force and effect of law, unless expressly authorized by statute or incorporated into a contract, and are not meant to bind the public in any way. These documents are intended to only provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency policies. As such, the Railroad Retirement Board may not cite, use, or rely on any guidance that is not posted on the agency website, except to establish historical facts.
