Jkt 253001
On December 14, 2020, the
Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs (OWCP) published a direct
final rule in the Federal Register
revising regulations governing
electronic filing and settlements, and
establishing new procedures for
assessing and adjudicating penalties
under the Longshore and Harbor
Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA).
Consistent with the Presidential
directive as expressed in the
memorandum of January 20, 2021, from
the Assistant to the President and Chief

of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze
Pending Review,’’ OWCP is
withdrawing the direct final rule.
DATES: Effective February 9, 2021, the
direct final rule published at 85 FR
80601 on December 14, 2020, is
withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 14, 2020, OWCP published a
direct final rule entitled Longshore and
Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act:
Electronic Filing, Settlement, and Civil
Money Penalty Procedures, 85 FR
80601. This rule would revise the
LHWCA regulations governing
electronic filing and settlements, and
establish new procedures for assessing
and adjudicating penalties under the
LHWCA. The comment period for the
rule expires on February 12, 2021, and
the rule will become effective March 15,
2021, unless OWCP withdraws it prior
to then. OWCP stated that it would
withdraw the rule if it received
significant adverse public comment on
either the direct final rule or a
simultaneously published companion
notice of proposed rulemaking. See 85
FR 80698 (Dec. 14, 2020).
A new administration assumed office
on January 20, 2021. On that same date,
the Assistant to the President and Chief
of Staff issued a memorandum entitled
‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review’’ to
the Heads of Executive Departments and
Agencies. 86 FR 7424 (Jan. 28, 2021).
The purpose of the memorandum was
‘‘to ensure that the President’s
appointees or designees have the
opportunity to review any new or
pending rules.’’ Id. The memorandum
directs agencies to consider pausing or
delaying certain regulatory actions for
the purpose of reviewing questions of
fact, law, and policy raised therein.
OWCP believes that the most efficient
way to implement the memorandum in
this instance is to withdraw the rule
rather than delay the effective date. The
comment period is still open and if
OWCP receives any significant adverse
comment, it would have to withdraw
the rule anyway. Withdrawing the rule
will also give the new administration
time to review the rule and consider the
policies it implements. OWCP is
simultaneously withdrawing the
companion notice of proposed
rulemaking. OWCP intends to offer the
