(Applies to Civil Service and Foreign Service Employees)

For the purpose of this subchapter, the definitions set forth in 18 FAM 201.1-3 apply.

3 FAH-1 H-1112.2  Other Definitions

(CT:POH-205;   06-18-2018)
(State Only)
(Applies to Civil Service and Foreign Service Employees)

Directive¾A written communication that establishes and prescribes the organization, policies, regulations, or procedures that provides an official basis of operation.  Most directives are commonly referred to as regulations, (see 18 FAM 201.1-3).

Directives Management (DIR)¾For purposes of this subchapter Directives Management or DIR means A/GIS/DIR.  GIS is Global Information Services.

Personnel issuances¾Volume 3 of the FAM, handbooks issued in the 3 FAH series of the FAH, related material in other volumes of the FAM and FAH (e.g., 1 FAM 230), and appropriate parts of title 22, Code of Federal Regulations.

Uniform issuances¾Any chapter or subchapter of the FAM or FAH that applies to more than one foreign affairs agency.

3 FAH-1 H-1113  REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

(CT:POH-205;   06-18-2018)
(State Only)
(Applies to Civil Service and Foreign Service Employees)

a. The issuance of all Department directives is governed by regulations published in 18 FAM.  Should conflict arise, 18 FAM takes precedence over the procedures in this subchapter.  In addition to other information the 18 FAM:

(1)  Provides that “all written communications that establish and prescribe the organization, policies, regulations, or procedures that provide an official basis of operations must, with certain exceptions approved by The Office of Directives Management (DIR), have their basis in applicable legal authorities and the Foreign Affairs Manual” (FAM);

(2)  Requires that all guidelines, internal or standard operating procedures, which in any way involve the function of other bureaus, offices, or staffs, be submitted to A/GIS/DIR for analysis, editing, and approval prior to publication, and that A/GIS/DIR’s determination that a proposed issuance must be published in the FAM or FAH is final and binding.  The Office of Inspector General(OIG) is exempt from the requirement to submit its OIG internal directives to A/GIS/DIR for approval, in accordance with (5 U.S.C. Appendix); and

(3)  Prohibits the use of Department Notices, memoranda, or telegrams to establish or modify regulations unless the actual regulation has been submitted to A/GIS/DIR for publication.  A/GIS/DIR approves such use on a case-by-case basis.  Such use extends for 90 days only and is not subject to renewal.  (See 18 FAM 201.1-5(B).)

b. As a general rule, A/GIS/DIR will not approve the issuance of internal or standard operating procedures or Department Notices that seek to regulate (either directly or indirectly) the functions of another office, bureau, or post (even with the affected unit’s clearance). Department policy requires that such material be published in either the FAM or FAH in order to have regulatory force and effect.

Regulations and practices pertaining to allowances, travel, per diem, tour of duty, leave, etc., are considered personnel policies or practices.
