ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) is amending its regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The amendments to the FOIA regulations concern minor issues that have arisen since the regulations were last revised in 2016. DATES: Effective November 13, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron Bailey, Attorney Advisor, Office of General Counsel, by telephone at (202) 606–5410 or by email at rbailey@ oshrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Revisions to Part 2201 OSHRC’s regulations implementing FOIA, 29 CFR part 2201, were last revised on December 27, 2016, 81 FR 95035. OSHRC is making several minor revisions to these regulations. In 29 CFR 2201.5, OSHRC is revising the reference to its Privacy Act regulation—from § 2400.6 to § 2400.4— based on the re-designation of section numbers in 29 CFR part 2400, 85 FR 65221. In 29 CFR 2201.6(a)(1), the regulation presently states that the 20-day period for granting or denying a FOIA request can be tolled under two different circumstances: ‘‘(1) The agency may toll the 20-day period once while awaiting information that it has reasonably requested from the requester under this section . . . ; or (2) The agency may toll the 20-day period as many times as are necessary to clarify any issue regarding fee assessment.’’ OSHRC is revising the word ‘‘or’’ to ‘‘and,’’ because guidance from the Department of Justice’s Office of Information Policy (OIP) indicates that tolling under one circumstance does not preclude the agency from subsequently tolling based on the other circumstance. This guidance, from November 18, 2008, is available at https://www.justice.gov/oip/oipguidance. In 29 CFR 2201.8(e), the third sentence of that paragraph states: ‘‘In cases in which a requester has been notified that actual or estimated fees amount to more than $25, the request shall not be considered received and further work shall not be done on it E:\FR\FM\13NOR1.SGM 13NOR1

954(c)(6) exception.

* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (3) * * *
    (i) * * *
    (A) * * * Because the determination as to whether there would be an 
extraordinary reduction amount or tiered extraordinary reduction amount 
greater than zero is made without regard to this paragraph (e)(3)(i), 
this determination is made without taking into account any elections 
that may be available, or other events that may occur, solely by reason 
of an election described in this paragraph (e)(3)(i), such as the 
application of section 954(b)(4) to a short taxable year created as a 
result of the election. * * *
* * * * *
    (i) * * *
    (8) Extraordinary disposition E&P. The term extraordinary 
disposition E&P has the meaning set forth in paragraph (c)(3)(i)(C) of 
this section.
    (9) Extraordinary disposition ownership percentage. The term 
extraordinary disposition ownership percentage has the meaning set 
forth in paragraph (c)(3)(i)(B) of this section.
* * * * *
    (j) * * *
    (10) * * *
    (ii) * * * Because the loan from CFC1 to CFC2 and the subsequent 
distribution of cash were carried out with a principal purpose of 
avoiding the purposes of this section, appropriate adjustments are 
required to be made under the anti-abuse rule in paragraph (h) of this 
section. * * *
