In accordance with the
Presidential directive in the
memorandum from the Assistant to the
President and Chief of Staff, dated
January 20, 2017, and entitled
‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,’’
the U.S. Equal Employment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 3, 2017, the EEOC published a
final rule amending 29 CFR 1614.203 to
clarify the affirmative action obligations
that Section 501 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. 791, imposes on
federal agencies as employers. As
clarified in a correction published on
January 11, 2017, at 32 FR 3170, the rule
was to become effective on March 6,
2017. On January 20, 2017, the White
House issued a memorandum
instructing Federal agencies to postpone
until 60 days after January 20, 2017, the
effective dates of any regulations that
had been published in the Federal
Register but had not yet taken effect, for
the purpose of ‘‘reviewing questions of
fact, law, and policy they raise.’’ The
EEOC is, therefore, delaying the
effective date of its final rule published
on January 3, 2017, at 82 FR 654, until
March 21, 2017.

January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

updates and modernizes the
Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Patient Records regulations (42
CFR part 2) to facilitate integration of
care and new health care delivery
models while protecting the privacy of
patients diagnosed, treated, or referred
for treatment for a substance use
disorder. To the extent that 5 U.S.C. 553
applies to this action to delay the rule’s
effective date, it is exempt from notice
and comment because it constitutes a
rule of procedure under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(A). Alternatively, the
Department’s implementation of this
rule without opportunity for public
comment, effective immediately upon
publication today in the Federal
Register, is based on the good cause
exception in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) in that
seeking public comment is
impracticable, unnecessary and contrary
to the public interest. The 60-day delay
in effective date is necessary to give
Department officials the opportunity for
further review and consideration of new
regulations, consistent with the
Assistant to the President’s
memorandum of January 20, 2017. This
memorandum instructed federal
agencies to delay the effective date of
rules published in the Federal Register,
but which have not yet taken effect, for
a period of 60-days from the date of the
memorandum. Given the imminence of
the effective date, seeking prior public

regulations.
This notice does not impact the
Supplemental Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (SNPRM) also entitled

SNPRM proposes for public comment
additional provisions beyond those in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On November 2, 2015, the President
signed into law the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (Sec. 701 of
Pub. L. 114–74) (‘‘the Act’’). The Act
requires Federal agencies to adjust the
level of civil monetary penalties with an
initial ‘‘catch-up’’ adjustment through
rulemaking and then make subsequent
annual adjustments for inflation no later
than January 15 of each year.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) issued guidance for Federal
agencies on calculating the catch-up
adjustment. See February 24, 2016,
Memorandum for the Heads of
Executive Departments and Agencies,
from Shaun Donovan, Director, Office of
Management and Budget, re:
Implementation of the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act
Improvements Act of 2015 (M–16–06).
Under the guidance, the U.S.
Department of the Interior (Department)
identified applicable civil monetary
penalties and calculated the catch-up
adjustment. A civil monetary penalty is
any assessment with a dollar amount
that is levied for a violation of a Federal
civil statute or regulation, and is
assessed or enforceable through a civil
action in Federal court or an
administrative proceeding. A civil
monetary penalty does not include a
penalty levied for violation of a criminal
statute, or fees for services, licenses,
permits, or other regulatory review. The
calculated catch-up adjustment was
based on the percent change between
the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (CPI0–U) for the month of
October in the year of the previous
adjustment (or in the year of
establishment, if no adjustment has
been made) and the October 2015 CPI–
U.
The Department issued an interim
final rule providing for calculated catchup adjustments to civil monetary
penalties contained in regulations
