BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Benefits Review Board 

20 CFR Part 802 

RIN 1290–AA35 

Rules of Practice and Procedure 

AGENCY: Benefits Review Board, 

Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Direct final rule; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of 

significant adverse comment on the 

conforming Office of Administrative 

Law Judges (OALJ) rulemaking in which 

commenters noted that they also 

practice before the Benefits Review 

Board (BRB), the Department of Labor is 

withdrawing the January 11, 2021 direct 

final rule (DFR) that would have 

provided for electronic filing (e-filing) 

and electronic service (e-service) of 

papers and required e-filing for persons 

represented by attorneys or non-attorney 

representatives unless good cause is 

shown justifying a different form of 

filing. 

DATES: Effective February 25, 2021, the 

direct final rule published at 86 FR 1795 

on January 11, 2021, is withdrawn. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Thomas Shepherd, Clerk of the 

Appellate Boards, at (202) 693–6319 or 

Contact-Boards@dol.gov. Individuals 

with hearing or speech impairments 

may access this telephone number by 

TTY by calling the toll-free Federal 

Information Relay Service at (800) 877– 

8339. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

DFR, the Department stated that if a 

significant adverse comment was 

submitted by February 10, 2021, the 

Department would publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the DFR will 

not take effect. The Department also 

issued an identical notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) on the same day (86 

FR 1857). The Department received 

significant adverse comment prior to the 

close of the comment period on the 

conforming Office of Administrative 

Law Judges (OALJ) rulemaking (86 FR 

1862) in which commenters noted that 

they also practice before the Benefits 

Review Board (BRB). Therefore, out of 

an abundance of caution, the 

Department is withdrawing the DFR. 

The Department also received a request 

to extend the comment period of the 

OALJ rule and will reopen the comment 

period for the BRB NPRM for 15 days 

in a future document. In issuing a final 

action, the Department will consider 

comments received on the DFR and 

NPRM during the initial comment 

period as well as comments received 

during the subsequent comment period. 

The Department will also provide at 

least 30 days’ notice between 

promulgating a final rule that requires efiling and the date on which e-filing will 

become mandatory under such a rule. 

Furthermore, the Department notes that 

several comments raised concerns with 

the Department’s electronic filing 

system and not the requirements of the 

proposed or direct final rules. To better 

understand and address these concerns, 

the Department plans to hold listening 

sessions during the coming weeks for 

users to provide feedback on the system. 

Information about those sessions will be 

announced at https://efile.dol.gov.
