29 CFR Parts 1601 and 1614 

RIN 3046–AB31 

[FR Doc. 2024–02764] 

Amendment of Procedural and 

Administrative Regulations To Include 

the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act 

(PWFA); Correction 

AGENCY: Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission. 

ACTION: Correcting amendments. 

SUMMARY: On February 14, 2024, the 

Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission (‘‘EEOC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) amended its procedural 

regulations to include references to the 

Pregnant Workers Fairness Act 

(‘‘PWFA’’). Due to drafting errors, two of 

those changes would not be recognized 

in the Code of Federal Regulations as 

drafted, and the Commission therefore 

issues these correcting amendments to 

ensure that its procedural regulations 

reference the PWFA where appropriate. 

DATES: These correcting amendments 

are effective February 23, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kathleen Oram, Assistant Legal 

Counsel, (202–900–8652 (voice); 1–800– 

669–6820 (TTY)), Office of Legal 

Counsel, 131 M Street NE, Washington, 

DC 20507. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Pregnant Workers Fairness Act 

(‘‘PWFA’’) became law on December 29, 

2022, and became effective on June 27, 

2023. In crafting the PWFA enforcement 

section, Congress incorporated the 

existing mechanisms and procedures for 

redress of other forms of employment 

discrimination. Procedural regulations 

were amended to include the PWFA in 

an interim final rule published in the 

Federal Register on February 14, 2024 

(89 FR 11167).1 When the interim final 

rule was published, 29 CFR 1601.17(a) 

was inadvertently included in 

instruction 5.f., which replaced the text 

‘‘title VII, the ADA, or GINA’’ with ‘‘title 

VII, the ADA, GINA, or the PWFA,’’ 

instead of in instruction 6, which 

replaced references to ‘‘title VII, the 

ADA, and GINA’’ with ‘‘title VII, the 

ADA, GINA, and the PWFA.’’ 

Additionally, the interim final rule’s 

section heading for 29 CFR 1614.407 

was revised without a specific 

instruction to revise the section 

heading. These correcting amendments 

fix those errors.

Accordingly, 29 CFR parts 1601 and 

1614 are amended by making the
