SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC
published a direct final rule in the
Federal Register on March 24, 2017 (82
FR 14991), which added the TN
Americas LLC NUHOMS® EOS Dry
Spent Fuel Storage System to the ‘‘List
of approved spent fuel storage casks’’ as
CoC No. 1042. The direct final rule was
effective on June 7, 2017. The CoC
expiration date listed in the direct final
rule was incorrect. This document
corrects the CoC expiration date.
Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency may
waive the normal notice and comment
requirements if it finds, for good cause,
that they are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds good cause
to waive notice and opportunity for
comment on the amendment because it
will have no substantive impact and is
of a minor and administrative nature
dealing with a correction to a CFR
section related only to management,
organization, procedure, and practice.
Specifically, this amendment is to
correct an editorial error. This
amendment does not require action by
any person or entity regulated by the
NRC. Also, this final rule does not
change the substantive responsibilities
of any person or entity regulated by the
NRC. Accordingly, for the reasons
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
stated, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause exists
to make this rule effective upon
publication.

Minority and Women Inclusion
Amendments

Agency.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Housing and Economic
Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) amended
the Federal Housing Enterprises
Financial Safety and Soundness Act of
1992 (Safety and Soundness Act) to
require the Federal National Mortgage
Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(Freddie Mac) (together, the
Enterprises), and the Federal Home
Loan Banks (Banks or Bank System) and
the Bank System’s Office of Finance
(collectively, the regulated entities) to
promote diversity and ensure the
inclusion of minorities and women in
all business and activities at all levels,
including management, employment,
and contracting. The Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA) is issuing this
final rule amending its regulations on
minority and women inclusion (MWI) to
clarify the scope of the regulated
entities’ obligation. The final rule
requires the regulated entities to: Adopt
strategic plans to promote the inclusion
of minorities-, women-, and disabled
individuals, and the businesses they
own (MWDOB); amend their policies on
equal employment opportunity (EEO) to
include sexual orientation, gender
identity, and status as a parent; and
enhance the usefulness of information
the regulated entities report to FHFA on
their efforts to advance diversity and
inclusion (D&I).
DATES: This rule is effective August 24,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Statutory Background
Section 1116 of HERA1 amended
section 1319A of the Safety and
Soundness Act to require, in part, that
each regulated entity establish an Office
of Minority and Women Inclusion
(OMWI), responsible for carrying out all
matters relating to diversity in the
management, employment, and business
activities of the entity. Section 1116 of
HERA mandates that each regulated
entity 2 implement standards for
promoting diversity in all its business
and activities, and submit an annual
report to FHFA detailing related actions
taken during the preceding year.
Additionally, 12 U.S.C. 1833e(b),3 and
Executive Order (E.O.)11478,4 require
the regulated entities to promote EEO.
B. Regulatory History
The following FHFA rulemaking
activities implement section 1116 of
HERA, 12 U.S.C. 1833e, and E.O. 11478,
as amended.
1. 2010 Minority and Women Inclusion
Rulemaking (MWI Rule)
FHFA adopted a final rule in
December 2010, establishing the
minimum requirements for the
regulated entities’ diversity programs
and reporting requirements.5 The
regulations, located at 12 CFR part
1223,6 require each regulated entity to
1 Public Law 110–289, 122 Stat. 2654, enacted
July 30, 2008.
2 For readability, where the preamble refers to a
‘‘regulated entity’’ or the ‘‘regulated entities’’ the
provisions apply equally to the Office of Finance,
unless such application would conflict with a
statute or regulation that specifically distinguishes
the treatment of the Office of Finance from the
regulated entities.
3 See Public Law 101–73, title XII, sec. 1216, Aug.
9, 1989, 103 Stat. 529; Public Law 102–233, title III,
sec. 302(a), Dec. 12, 1991; Public Law 110–289, div.
A, title II, sec. 1216(g), July 30, 2008, 122 Stat. 2793;
Public Law 111–203, title III, sec. 367(9), July 21,
2010, 124 Stat. 1557.
4 E.O. 11478—Equal Employment Opportunity in
the Federal Government, August 8, 1969, as
amended.
5 See 75 FR 81395 (December 28, 2010).
6 These regulations were formerly located at 12
CFR part 1207. On March 24, 2017, FHFA’s
Minority Outreach Program (MWOP) rulemaking
redesignated the MWI regulation as part 1223 of
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
submit a detailed annual report to
FHFA’s Director summarizing their D&I
activities during the preceding reporting
year. Part 1223 also provides that,
pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 4517, FHFA’s
Director may conduct examinations of a
regulated entity’s compliance.
2. 2015 Board Diversity Amendments to
the MWI Rule
In 2015, FHFA amended the MWI
Rule to require the Banks and the Office
of Finance to report annually on
demographic information related to
their boards of directors.7
3. 2016 Strategic Planning Proposed
Amendments to the MWI Rule (2016
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking or
‘‘2016 NPRM’’ or ‘‘the Proposed
Amendments’’) 8
FHFA published the 2016 NPRM in
the Federal Register on October 27,
2016, to amend the MWI rule. The
Proposed Amendments require the
regulated entities to adopt strategies for
promoting diversity and ensuring
inclusion. The Proposed Amendments
specifically would: (i) Encourage the
regulated entities to provide
subcontracting (tier 2) opportunities for
MWDOBs; (ii) require the regulated
entities to amend their EEO policies by
adding sexual orientation, gender
identity, and status as a parent to the list
of protected classes; (iii) affirm that the
regulated entities may expand the scope
of their outreach and inclusion
programs beyond the requirements of
part 1223 (to include, for example,
veterans, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, or
transgender (LGBT) outreach); (iv)
require the regulated entities to provide
additional information on their MWI
efforts; and (v) add, revise, or remove
several definitions in order to clarify the
existing and new reporting
requirements.
The public comment period for the
Proposed Amendments closed on
December 27, 2016. FHFA received 31
comments (including comments from
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Bank
System and their Presidents and Chief
Executive Officers, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC), trade associations, non-profit
organizations, potential vendors, and
individual members of the public).
Twenty commenters expressed support
for the proposed amendments, three
expressly opposed them, and the
title 12 of the CFR and the new MWOP regulation
as part 1207, in order to organize all FHFA
regulations related to FHFA’s Organization &
Operations in subchapter A, and those regulations
related to Regulated Entities in subchapter B.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published a direct final rule in the
Federal Register on March 24, 2017 (82 FR 14991), which added the TN
Americas LLC NUHOMS[supreg] EOS Dry Spent Fuel Storage System to the
``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' as CoC No. 1042. The
direct final rule was effective on June 7, 2017. The CoC expiration
date listed in the direct final rule was incorrect. This document
corrects the CoC expiration date.
Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency
may waive the normal notice and comment requirements if it finds, for
good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC
finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on the
amendment because it will have no substantive impact and is of a minor
and administrative nature dealing with a correction to a CFR section
related only to management, organization, procedure, and practice.
Specifically, this amendment is to correct an editorial error. This
amendment does not require action by any person or entity regulated by
the NRC. Also, this final rule does not change the substantive
responsibilities of any person or entity regulated by the NRC.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause exists to make this rule effective
upon publication.
