The U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia in Facing Foster
Care et al. v. HHS, 21–cv–00308 (DDC
Feb. 2, 2021), has postponed the
effectiveness of portions of the final
rulemaking amendments to the Uniform
Administrative Requirements,
promulgated on January 12, 2021. Those
provisions are now effective April 18,
2022.
DATES: Pursuant to court order, the
effectiveness of the final rule published
January 12, 2021, at 86 FR 2257, is
postponed until April 18, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Johanna Nestor at Johanna.Nestor@
hhs.gov or 202–205–5904.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 12, 2021, the Department issued
amendments to and repromulgated
portions of the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, 45 CFR part 75. 86 FR
2257. That rule repromulgated
provisions of part 75 that were
originally published late in 2016. It also
made amendments to 45 CFR 75.300(c)
and (d).
Specifically, the rule amended
paragraph (c), which previously
provided that it is a public policy
requirement of HHS that no person
otherwise eligible will be excluded from
participation in, denied the benefits of,
or subjected to discrimination in the
administration of HHS programs and
services based on non-merit factors such
as age, disability, sex, race, color,
national origin, religion, gender
identity, or sexual orientation. The
paragraph further provided that
recipients must comply with the public
policy requirement in the
administration of programs supported
by HHS awards. The rule amended
paragraph (c) to provide that it is a
public policy requirement of HHS that
no person otherwise eligible will be
excluded from participation in, denied
the benefits of, or subjected to
discrimination in the administration of
HHS programs and services, to the
extent doing so is prohibited by Federal
statute.

Additionally, the rule amended
paragraph (d), which previously
provided that in accordance with the
Supreme Court decisions in United
States v. Windsor and in Obergefell v.
Hodges, all recipients must treat as valid
the marriages of same-sex couples. The
paragraph further provided that it did
not apply to registered domestic
partnerships, civil unions or similar
formal relationships recognized under
state law as something other than a
marriage. The rule amended paragraph
(d) to provide that HHS will follow all
applicable Supreme Court decisions in
administering its award programs.
On February 2, the portions of
rulemaking amendments to § 75.300
(and a conforming amendment at
§ 75.101(f)) were challenged in the U.S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia. Facing Foster Care et al. v.
HHS, 21–cv–00308 (D.D.C. filed Feb. 2,
2021). On February 9, the court
postponed, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 705, the
effective date of the challenged portions
of the rule by 180 days, until August 11,
2021.1 On August 5, the court again
postponed the effective date of the rule
until November 9, 2021.2 On November
3, the court further postponed the
effective date of the rule until January
17, 2022.3 On December 27, the court
further postponed the effective date of
the rule until April 18, 2022.4 The
Department is issuing this notification
to apprise the public of the court’s
order.
