| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | For a disclosure by an employee or applicant, list the recipients in 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8) that the opened text states in full: for the disclosure in subparagraph (B), the Special Counsel, the Inspector General of an agency, or another employee designated by the head of the agency to receive such disclosures. List a disclosure to Congress as subparagraph (C) describes it, and stop where the opened text of the classified limb was not fully used. State that 18 U.S.C. 1514A is the company-employee list and applies to the companies that section names. |
| What the lawyer must review | Section 2302(b)(8) prohibits taking, failing to take, or threatening a personnel action because of a disclosure the employee or applicant reasonably believes evidences a violation of law, rule, or regulation, or gross mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, subject to the limits each subparagraph states. Subparagraph (A) applies when the disclosure is not specifically prohibited by law and the information is not specifically required by Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs. The informing provision requires employees to be told the means of a lawful disclosure of classified information to the Special Counsel, the Inspector General, Congress on the conditions that sentence states, or a designated employee. Section 1514A does not supply those recipients. No Office of Special Counsel procedure page was opened. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: For a disclosure by an employee or applicant, list the recipients in 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8) that the opened text states in full: for the disclosure in subparagraph (B), the Special Counsel, the Inspector General of an agency, or another employee designated by the head of the agency to receive such disclosures. List a disclosure to Congress as subparagraph (C) describes it, and stop where the opened text of the classified limb was not fully used. State that 18 U.S.C. 1514A is the company-employee list and applies to the companies that section names.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The classified limb of section 2302(b)(8)(C) continues after the words that were used here. The lawyer reads the rest of that limb before relying on it.
- An agency must give the information in the informing provision to each new employee not later than 180 days after appointment. That is a notice period, not a filing deadline.
