Press OPM to withdraw its proposed government-wide federal employee nondisclosure agreement and instead strengthen existing confidentiality requirements and whistleblower protections.

we respectfully urge OPM to withdraw the proposed NDA and instead focus on strengthening existing confidentiality requirements and whistleblower protections.

Warner and colleagues urged OPM to withdraw the proposed government-wide NDA for federal employees and focus instead on strengthening confidentiality rules and whistleblower protections.

OPM requested comment on a draft NDA for new and existing federal employees, described it as a governmentwide form, set comments due by June 26, 2026, and said OPM would consider comments before finalizing the NDA.

During the last lookback window, the official record showed the NDA proposal was still in the comment/finalization process, not withdrawn. This does not show Warner delivered the commitment to press OPM successfully or replace the proposal with stronger protections.

OPM said it issued a template NDA for public comment and that, if finalized, it would become an official government form agencies could use. OPM also stated employees would retain statutory whistleblower protections.

OPM’s own announcement confirms the agency was advancing, not withdrawing, the NDA proposal. The statement frames the proposal as consistent with existing whistleblower law, but does not show new strengthened protections or any Warner intervention.

AP reported that the Trump administration wanted current and future federal employees to sign NDAs, and that the OPM notice sought comment on whether the NDA should cover only unclassified information and what actions agencies should consider for employees who do not sign.

Strong reporting corroborates the official OPM record and notes unresolved implementation questions. It does not identify Warner action or a withdrawal, so the commitment remains unresolved as of the refresh date.
