Longshore and Harbor Workers’ 

Compensation Act: Electronic Filing, 

Settlement, and Civil Money Penalty 

Procedures 

AGENCY: Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs, Labor. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of notice of 

proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: On December 14, 2020, the 

Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register proposing to revise 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 notice of 

proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: As of February 9, 2021, the 

notice of proposed rulemaking 

published at 85 FR 80698 on December 

14, 2020, is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 14, 2020, OWCP published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking entitled 

Longshore and Harbor Workers’ 

Compensation Act: Electronic Filing, 

Settlement, and Civil Money Penalty 

Procedures, 85 FR 80698. The proposed 

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. 

OWCP simultaneously published a 

companion direct final rule. See 85 FR 

80601 (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 notice 

of proposed rulemaking. The proposed 

rule is at an early stage and the 

comment period is still running. Thus, 

the administrative record has not yet 

been fully developed. Withdrawing the 

proposed rule will give the new 

administration adequate time to review 

the rule and determine the approach it 

wants to take. Once that review is 

complete, OWCP plans to issue a new 

proposed rule and offer the public an 

opportunity to comment on the topics 

addressed at that time. OWCP is 

simultaneously withdrawing the 

companion direct final rule. 

■ Accordingly, the notice of proposed 

rulemaking published in the Federal

Register on December 14, 2020 (85 FR

80698) is withdrawn as of February 9,

2021.
