SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Background
On January 27, 1982, IHS published
regulations imposing restrictions on use
of Federal funding for certain abortions,
currently codified at 42 CFR 136.51–
.57.1 These regulations implementing
IHS program authority pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 13 and 42 U.S.C. 2001 allowed
the use of IHS funds for abortions only
when a physician certified that ‘‘the life
of the mother would be endangered if
the fetus were carried to term.’’ This
restriction was to be consistent with a
provision in the annual appropriations
legislation for the Departments of Labor,
Health and Human Services, and
Education, sometimes referred to as the
‘‘Hyde Amendment,’’ that restricted the
use of Federal funds for certain
abortions, which did not automatically
apply to IHS funding.2 The purpose of
these IHS regulations was specifically
‘‘to conform IHS practice to that of the
rest of the Department [of Health and
Human Services] in accordance with the
applicable congressional guidelines.’’ 3
In 1988, Congress enacted 25 U.S.C.
1676, explicitly extending any
limitations on the use of funds included
in HHS appropriations laws with
respect to the performance of abortions
to apply to funds appropriated to IHS.
As such, IHS became subject to the
Hyde Amendment as included in
annual appropriations legislation.
Since the IHS promulgated these
regulations in 1982, Congress has
repeatedly revised annual restrictions
related to the use of Federal funds for
certain abortions. In fiscal year 1994, for
instance, Congress revised the Hyde
Amendment to include additional
exceptions to the general prohibition on
the use of Federal funds for abortions,
including in instances in which a
pregnancy is the result of an act of rape

or incest.4 Similarly, in fiscal year 1998,
Congress also altered the standards for
when the ‘‘life of the mother’’ may be
considered an exception.5 The Hyde
Amendment currently provides that no
covered funds ‘‘shall be expended for
any abortion’’ or ‘‘for health benefits
coverage that includes coverage of
abortion,’’ except ‘‘if the pregnancy is
the result of an act of rape or incest; or
. . . in the case where a woman suffers
from a physical disorder, physical
injury, or physical illness, including a
life-endangering physical condition
caused by or arising from the pregnancy
itself, that would, as certified by a
physician, place the woman in danger of
death unless an abortion is
performed.’’ 6
The current IHS regulation does not
align with the current text of the Hyde
Amendment or with 25 U.S.C. 1676.
The IHS has complied with, and will
continue to comply with, the statutory
exceptions and has clarified its
compliance with the statutory
limitations through policy directives,7
and now seeks to remove these outdated
regulations in their entirety.8 Doing so
will eliminate any potential confusion
regarding the legal effect of these
outdated regulations and will also
achieve the goal of aligning IHS
guidelines with the applicable
Congressional guidelines governing
HHS. These regulations are no longer
necessary to achieve that objective,
given Congress’s enactment of 25 U.S.C.
1676, which independently aligns
relevant restrictions applicable to the
IHS and HHS. At this time, the IHS is
not proposing any further changes to
these regulations and is not proposing to
amend the regulations to reflect the
standard set out in the current Hyde
Amendment. Regulations on this subject

8 The regulations also speak to recordkeeping
requirements and confidentiality of information.
However, these provisions are unnecessary to
maintain, because recordkeeping and
confidentiality of information are independently
required by other laws and regulations that will
remain in effect. See, e.g., 45 CFR parts 160, 164

Moreover, amending the regulations to
reflect the current Hyde Amendment
could cause additional confusion in the
future if Congress changes the annual
appropriations language, as it has in the
past.
Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and

Executive Order 12866, as amended
by Executive Order 14094, and
Executive Order 13563 direct agencies
to assess all costs and benefits of
available regulatory alternatives. Section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094,
defines a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
as any regulatory action that is likely to
result in a rule that may: (1) have an
annual effect on the economy of $200
million or more (adjusted every 3 years
by the Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA) for changes in gross domestic
product); or adversely affect in a
material way the economy, a sector of
the economy, productivity, competition,
jobs, the environment, public health or
safety, or State, local, territorial, or
Tribal Governments or communities; (2)
create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken
or planned by another agency; (3)
materially alter the budgetary impact of
entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan
programs or the rights and obligations of
recipients thereof; or (4) raise legal or
policy issues for which centralized
review would meaningfully further the
President’s priorities or the principles
set forth in the Executive Order, as
specifically authorized in a timely
manner by the Administrator of OIRA in
each case. OIRA has determined that
this proposed rule is a significant
regulatory action as defined by
Executive Order 12866 Section 3(f).

Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 14094
Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094, and
Executive Order 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits
of available regulatory alternatives. Section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094, defines a ``significant
regulatory action'' as any regulatory action that is likely to result
in a rule that may: (1) have an annual effect on the economy of $200
million or more (adjusted every 3 years by the Administrator of the
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for changes in
gross domestic product); or adversely affect in a material way the
economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or State, local, territorial, or
Tribal Governments or communities; (2) create a serious inconsistency
or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another
agency; (3) materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements,
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of
recipients thereof; or (4) raise legal or policy issues for which
centralized review would meaningfully further the President's
priorities or the principles set forth in the Executive Order, as
specifically authorized in a timely manner by the Administrator of OIRA
in each case. OIRA has determined that this proposed rule is a
significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866
Section 3(f).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This action will not have a significant economic impact on Indian
health programs. Therefore, the regulatory flexibility analysis
provided for under the Regulatory Flexibility Act is not required.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism,'' establishes certain
requirements that an agency must meet when it promulgates a rule that
imposes substantial direct requirement costs on State and local
governments or has federalism implications. This proposed rule would
simply remove the existing, outdated regulations. HHS has determined
that
[[Page 898]]
this proposed rule would not impose such costs or have any federalism
implications.
Executive Order 13175
This rule does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian Tribes under Executive Order 13175, because it only removes
outdated regulations that do not align with the current statutory text
of the Hyde Amendment or with 25 U.S.C. 1676.

HHS had determined that this proposed rule would not have a
significant impact on the environment.
