The Trump Administration is seeking to implement mandatory nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) for all federal employees, as outlined in a draft notice from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This initiative aims to protect sensitive information and enhance accountability within the federal workforce. The proposed NDAs would apply to both new and existing employees and cover a wide array of confidential information, including internal agency operations and personnel matters. OPM Director Scott Kupor stated that the federal government should adhere to the same standards as the private sector regarding sensitive information handling. The draft also allows agencies to choose whether to adopt these NDAs. A public comment period will commence following the draft's publication, allowing stakeholders to voice their opinions. The proposal arises from concerns over recent leaks that have jeopardized federal operations, including sensitive immigration enforcement plans and military actions. While the draft does not specify penalties for NDA violations, it reaffirms that existing whistleblower protections remain intact.
