Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY : Department of Justice.

ACTION : Semiannual regulatory agenda.

SUMMARY : The Department of Justice is publishing its fall 2013 regulatory agenda pursuant to

Executive Order 12866, "Regulatory Planning and Review," 58 FR 51735, and the Regulatory Flexibility

Act, 5 U.S.C. sections 601 to 612 (1988).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Hinchman, Senior Counsel, Office of Legal Policy,

Department of Justice, Room 4252, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20530, (202) 514-

8059.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This edition of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and

Deregulatory Actions includes The Regulatory Plan, which appears in both the online Unified Agenda and

in part II of the Federal Register that includes the Unified Agenda. The Department of Justice's

Statement of Regulatory Priorities is included in the Plan.

### Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the Internet has been the basic means for disseminating the

Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov in a format

that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the Agenda database.

Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas

required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), the Department of Justice’s printed agenda

entries include only:

Rules that are in the Agency’s regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of

small entities; and any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory

Flexibility Act’s Agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified

Agenda published on the Internet. In addition, for fall editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan

will continue to be printed in the Federal Register , as in past years, including the Department of Justice’s

regulatory plan.

Title: Revising the Reparole Guidelines for Releasing Parole Violators

Title: Procedures for Suspension and Removal of Panel Trustees and Standing Trustees

Abstract: The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA") (Pub. L. No. 109-8) amended 28 U.S.C. 586(d)(2) to clarify that standing trustees and panel trustees who cease to be assigned to cases filed under title 11, United States Code, may obtain judicial review of the final agency decision by commencing an action in the District court after first exhausting all available administrative remedies, which if the trustee so elects, shall also include an administrative hearing on the record. The Attorney General is directed to prescribe procedures to implement these changes. Pursuant to an order dated October 14, 2005, the Attorney General delegated his authority to promulgate rules necessary to implement the provisions of the BAPCPA that relate to the administration and supervision of bankruptcy cases by the United States Trustee Program to the Director of the Executive Office for United States Trustees. 28 CFR 58.6 currently sets forth the procedures for suspension and removal of panel trustees and standing trustees. The Executive Office for United States Trustees is amending these procedures to reflect the changes required by 28 U.S.C. 586(d)(2) under the authority delegated by the Attorney General in his October 14, 2005, order.

Title: Uniform Forms for Periodic Reports for Chapter 11 Cases

Abstract: 28 U.S.C. 589b requires the Attorney General to issue rules requiring uniform forms for periodic reports by debtors in possession and trustees in chapter 11 cases. These reports are to be used by the United States Trustee Program to facilitate oversight and monitoring of chapter 11 cases as well as to provide information to the courts, creditors, and public about the debtor's operations while under chapter 11 reorganization. Among the purposes for uniform forms is to accomplish the collection of data required by Congress that will be "in the best interests of debtors and creditors, and in the public interest in reasonable and adequate information to evaluate the efficiency and practicality of the Federal bankruptcy system." 28 U.S.C. 589b(c).

Title: Amendments to Application Procedures and Criteria for Approval; Credit Counseling Agencies and Debtor Education

Providers

Abstract: This rule would amend the procedures and criteria United States Trustees use when determining whether applicants seeking to become and remain approved nonprofit budget and credit counseling agencies ("credit counseling agencies") or providers of a financial management course ("debtor education providers") satisfy all the prerequisites of the United States Code and applicable Executive Office for United States Trustees regulations. Under current law, an individual may not be a debtor under title 11 of the United States Code, unless during the 180-day period preceding the date of filing a bankruptcy petition, the individual receives adequate counseling from a credit counseling agency that is approved by the United States Trustee. Additionally, individual debtors must participate in debtor education before receiving a discharge of debts.

Title: Repealing Unnecessary OVW Regulations

Abstract: The STOP (Services- Training-Officers-Prosecutors) Violence Against Indian Women Discretionary Grant Program was codified at 42 U.S.C. 3796gg through 3796gg-5. The final rule for this program, found at 28 CFR part 90, subpart C, was promulgated on April 18, 1995. The Violence Against Women Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005, Pub. L. 109-162) eliminated this program, and replaced it with a new program, the Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program. Regulations are not required for the new program. The Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program was authorized by title VIII, part E, section 826, of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, Public Law No. 105-244, 112 Stat. 1581 (Oct. 7, 1998). VAWA 2005 reauthorized the program and removed it from the Higher Education Amendments. The final rule for the program, found at 28 CFR part 90, subpart E, was promulgated on July 22, 1999. The program as recodified does not require regulations. Because these regulations are obsolete and unnecessary, this rule repeals them.

Title: Carriage of Concealed Weapons Pursuant to the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004

Abstract: The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004, Public Law 108-277 (the Act), exempts qualified current and former law enforcement officers from State laws prohibiting the carrying of concealed handguns. This rule would implement the Act by amending 28 CFR 20.3(b) to add "the issuing of identification documents to current and retired law enforcement officerspursuant to Public Law 108-277" to the definition of administration of criminal justice. This change will authorize access to FBImaintained criminal justice information systems to support performing criminal background checks on current and retired law enforcement officers seeking identification documents to carry a concealed firearm pursuant to Public Law 108-277.

Title: Self-Certification and Employee Training of Mail-Order Distributors of Scheduled Listed Chemical Products

Abstract: This action would finalize without change the interim-final regulations promulgated under the Combat Methamphetamine Enhancement Act of 2010 (MEA) which established new requirements for mail-order distributors of scheduled listed chemical products to self-certify to DEA in order to sell those products at retail. Sales at retail are those sales intended for personal use; mail-order distributors that sell scheduled listed chemical products not intended for personal use are not affected by the MEA. Under the MEA, this self-certification must include a statement that the mail-order distributor understands each of the requirements that apply under Part 1314 and agrees to comply with these requirements. Additionally, the MEA requires mail-order distributors to train their employees prior to self-certification. DEA would promulgate this final rule to finalize rulemaking activities incorporating the statutory provisions of the MEA and make its regulations consistent with MEA requirements and other existing regulations related to self-certification.

Title: Exempt Chemical Preparations; Exempt Prescription Products; Exempt Anabolic Steroid Products

Abstract: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) would propose to revise its regulations to clarify exemptions from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 811(g)(3). The plain language of the CSA authorizes DEA to exempt approved chemical preparations and anabolic steroid products only from subchapter I (21 U.S.C. 801-904) of the CSA. DEA's regulations, however, state that approved chemical preparations and anabolic steroid products are exempt from certain provisions of both subchapter I and subchapter II (21 U.S.C. 951-971 (import and export provisions)) of the CSA. DEA would revise its regulations to reflect the authority provided by Congress in the CSA and would review ways that the exemption process may be updated and streamlined. As such, DEA would repeal any portion of its regulations that allow the exemption of chemical preparations and anabolic steroid products from application of sections 1002, 1003, and 1004 of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 952-954) and its implementing regulations.

Title: Central Inmate Monitoring (CIM) System: Streamlining Rules

Abstract: In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) streamlines its rules on the Central Inmate Monitoring system (CIM). We intend this amendment to streamline our regulations by removing internal agency management procedures that need not be stated in regulation. Bureau policy is a more appropriate vehicle through which to provide instruction and guidance to staff. All the provisions we removed consist of our instruction and guidance to Bureau staff. These provisions relate solely to internal agency management and practice and do not impose obligations or confer any benefits upon our regulated entities (the inmates) or the public. The procedures that were in these regulations will continue to exist, unchanged, in our policy statement on the Admission and Orientation Program. Any requirement imposed on our staff in these rules will remain a Bureau-wide requirement in our policy. It is important to note that we have not changed the substance of the CIM rules.

Title: Classification and Program Review

Abstract: In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to revise its regulations on classification and program review to remove unnecessary regulations and to ensure that classification and program review procedures adequately address inmate needs. This proposed rule also adds a new type of review, the "progress review." A progress review will be an abbreviated program review meant to focus on an inmate's programming activities. This shortened version of the more thorough program review will facilitate more efficiently-used staff and inmate time, in that it will primarily focus on any new or changed aspects of an inmate's initial classification and participation in recommended programs. Inmates who have 36 months or more until their projected release date will receive alternating program and progress reviews at least once every 180 calendar days, a practice that will allow the Bureau to more efficiently utilize staff time and resources. The process will also allow staff to devote more time and resources to the reviews of inmates who are closer to their release dates, enabling the Bureau to better fulfill its mission to prepare inmates for eventual release into communities within the United States.

Title: Certification Process for State Capital Counsel Systems

Abstract: Pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, on December 11, 2008, the Department promulgated a final rule to implement certification procedures for States seeking to qualify for the expedited Federal habeas corpus review procedures in capital cases under chapter 154 of title 28 of the United States Code. On February 5, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice soliciting further public comment on all aspects of the December 2008 final rule. As the Department reviewed the comments submitted in response to the February 2009 notice, it considered further the statutory requirements governing the regulatory implementation of the chapter 154 certification procedures. The Attorney General determined that chapter 154 reasonably could be construed to allow the Attorney General greater discretion in making certification determinations than the December 2008 regulations allowed. Accordingly, the Department published a notice in the Federal Register on May 25, 2010, proposing to remove the December 2008 regulations pending the completion of a new rulemaking process and finalized the removal of the December 2008 regulations on November 23, 2010. The Department published a notice in the Federal Register on March 3, 2011, proposing a new rule and seeking public input on the certification procedure for chapter 154 and the standards the Attorney General will apply in making certification decisions. The comment period for the proposed new rule closed on June 1, 2011. On February 13, 2012, the Department published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking on this subject requesting public comment concerning five changes that the Department is considering to the previously published proposed rule for the chapter 154 certification procedure. The Department is in the process of reviewing the comments it received before the comment period closed on March 14, 2012.

after the date of arrival in the United States.

Title: Implementation of Section 235 of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008; Treatment of Unaccompanied Alien Children

Abstract: The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), are planning to propose to amend their respective regulations to implement section 235 of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, which provides new provisions for unaccompanied alien children in asylum and immigration proceedings. Through this joint rule, both Departments are proposing to amend their separate regulations to reflect that USCIS has initial jurisdiction over any asylum application filed by an unaccompanied alien child. The Departments also plan to propose to add new special procedures for unaccompanied alien children in interviews before asylum officers and in proceedings before immigration judges. In addition, EOIR plans to propose amendments to its regulations governing the relief of voluntary departure for unaccompanied alien children in removal proceedings.

Title: Asylum and Withholding Definitions

Abstract: This rule would provide guidance on a number of issues central to the adjudication of applications for asylum and withholding of removal. In particular, this rule would clarify the definitions of "particular social group" and "persecution," as well as the statutory requirement that, to result in asylum eligibility, persecution must be "on account of" a protected ground. This rule would also make clear that, under certain circumstances, a person who has suffered, or fears suffering, domestic violence can qualify for asylum or withholding of removal. The Department of Justice began this regulatory initiative in 2000 by publishing a proposed rule.

Title: Exception to the Persecution Bar for Asylum, Refugee, and Temporary Protected Status, and Withholding of Removal

Abstract: This joint rule proposes amendments to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ)regulations to describe the circumstances under which an applicant will continue to be eligible for asylum, refugee, or temporary protected status, special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act, and withholding of removal, even if DHS or DOJ has determined that the applicant's actions contributed, in some way, to the persecution of others. The purpose of this rule is to resolve ambiguity in the statutory language precluding eligibility for asylum, refugee, and temporary protected status of an applicant who ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of others. The proposed amendment would provide a limited exception for actions taken by the applicant under duress and clarify the required levels of the applicant's knowledge of the persecution.

Title: Board of Immigration Appeals: Affirmance Without Opinion, Referral for Three-Board-Member Review, and Publication of

Decisions as Precedents

Abstract: These revisions implement, in part, the Attorney General's August 9, 2006, Memorandum for Immigration Judges and Members of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board). This final rule establishes that the Board may issue an affirmance without opinion (AWO) in the exercise of its discretion when it is satisfied that certain regulatory criteria are met. This provision also permits the Board to better manage its docket, budget its resources, and balance its competing adjudicatory responsibilities by allowing the Board to determine what type of decision to issue in a particular case. This regulation clarifies that the Board's decision to issue an AWO, or any other type of decision, does not create personal rights and is not independently reviewable. In addition, this rule permits three-Board-member review of a small class of particularly complex cases. The rule provides the Board with the discretion to assess its resources, and where it deems appropriate, devote more of its resources to address complex or unusual issues of law or fact by referring a case for review by a three-member panel. Finally, this rule amends the regulations relating to precedent decisions of the Board, by authorizing publication of decisions either by a majority of Board Members on a panel or by a majority of permanent Board Members. With these tools, the Board can better manage its docket, budget its resources, and balance its competing adjudicatory responsibilities.

Abstract: The Department of Justice is planning to propose to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regarding the reference to The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) guidance document titled "Definition and Test Procedures for Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer" that appears as a footnote because it is an obsolete document. In March 2002, TFI filed a petition with ATF requesting that the Federal explosives regulations at 27 CFR 555.220 be amended to remove the reference to the "Definition and Test Procedures for Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer." TFI explained that the document is outdated because TFI last published the guidance document in 1984, TFI will not review or update it, and TFI cannot ensure that the procedures outlined in the guidance document are still valid.

Title: Machine Guns, Destructive Devices and Certain Other Firearms; Background Checks for Responsible Persons of a Corporation, Trust, or Other Legal Entity With Respect to Making or Transferring a Firearm

Abstract: The Department of Justice is planning to finalize a proposed rule to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regarding the making or transferring of a firearm under the National Firearms Act. As proposed, the rule would (1) add a definition for the term "responsible person"; (2) require each responsible person of a corporation, trust or legal entity to complete a specified form, and to submit photographs and fingerprints; and (3) modify the requirements regarding the certificate of the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO).

Priority: Other Significant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Proposed Rule
Major: No Unfunded Mandates: NoCFR Citation: 27 CFR 479 (To search for a specific CFR, visit the Code of Federal Regulations )
Legal Authority: 26 USC 7805
Legal Deadline: None

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: The current firearms regulations permit a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity to submit applications to ATF to acquire firearms registered under the National Firearms Act (NFA) without a responsible person of such an entity having to meet requirements currently in place for individuals that seek to ensure that prohibited persons do not gain access to NFA firearms (i.e., undergo a background check, provide a certificate of a CLEO).

Legal Basis: This rulemaking is in response to a petition for rulemaking. No aspect of this rulemaking is required by statute or

court order

Alternatives: The Agency is soliciting public comment on how the application process can be made more efficient and
effective.

Costs and Benefits: Total annual costs are estimated at $14.9 million and encompass costs to legal entities associated with the application, ATF processing costs, and costs to local and State agencies in providing the CLEO certificate. There will be public safety benefits as the provisions will enable ATF to ensure that responsible persons within legal entities are not prohibited from possessing NFA firearms under Federal, State, or local law

Risks: This proposed rule may prevent a prohibited person, who is a responsible person in a legal entity, from obtaining an NFA firearm and using it to commit a violent crime.

Title: Implementation of the Safe Explosives Act

Abstract: The Department of Justice will be finalizing interim regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to implement the provisions of the Safe Explosives Act, title XI, subtitle C, of Public Law 107-296, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (enacted November 25, 2002). The law, among other things: (1) Requires that all persons receiving explosives on and after May 24, 2003, obtain a Federal license or permit, and creates a new type of permit, the "limited permit"; (2) requires applicants for licenses and permits to provide as part of their application the names and appropriate identifying information regarding employees authorized to possess explosives as well as fingerprints and photographs of "responsible persons"; (3) extends the time for ATF to act on an application for a license or permit from 45 days to 90 days; (4) authorizes warrantless inspections of places of storage maintained by applicants for limited permits and holders of limited permits; (5) provides that only licensees and holders of user permits must post their licenses and permits and make them available for inspection; (6) requires that ATF conduct background checks on responsible persons and employees authorized to possess explosive materials; (7) specifies additional categories of persons who may not lawfully receive or possess explosive materials; i.e., aliens (other than permanent resident aliens and other excepted aliens), persons dishonorably discharged from the military, and persons who have renounced their U.S. citizenship; (8) broadens the interstate commerce element of the prohibited persons section of the law to specify that a violation is committed if possession of explosive materials affects interstate or foreign commerce; (9) provides ATF the authority to require licensed manufacturers and licensed importers and persons who manufacture or import explosive materials or ammonium nitrate to provide samples, information on chemical composition, and other information relevant to the identification of the product; (10) broadens the scope of a criminal violation of the law to include any institution or organization receiving Federal financial assistance within the categories of property covered by the violation; (11) expands ATF's authority to grant relief from disabilities to all categories of prohibited persons; and (12) adds a new theft-reporting violation, providing felony penalties for a licensee or permittee who fails to report thefts of explosives within 24 hours of discovery.Priority: Other Significant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Final Rule

Abstract: This rule would finalize a proposed rule to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) by eliminating the Firearms Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473 (Low Volume (LV)), parts I and II. These forms may be used by federally licensed firearms dealers as an alternate record for the receipt and disposition of firearms. Because licensees rarely use Forms 4473 (LV), ATF has determined that continued use of these forms is unwarranted and they

Title: Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Implements of War and Machine Guns, Destructive Devices, and Certain Other Firearms; Extending the Term of Import Permits

Abstract: This rulemaking is included in the Department of Justice's retrospective review plan developed pursuant to Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review." This rule would amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to extend the term of import permits for firearms, ammunition, and defense articles from 1 year to 2 years. The additional time will allow importers sufficient time to complete the importation of the authorized commodity. In addition, it will eliminate the need for the importer to submit a new import application, ATF Form 6, because theimportation was not completed within the 1-year period. Extending the term of import permits will also result in a substantial cost and time savings for both the industry and ATF.

Title: Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Title II and Title III of the ADA)

Abstract: This rule would propose to amend the Department's regulations implementing title II and title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 28 CFR part 35 and 28 CFR part 36, to implement changes to the ADA enacted in the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Public Law 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (Sept. 25, 2008). The ADA Amendments Act took effect on January 1, 2009. The ADA Amendments Act amended the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101, et seq., to clarify terms within the definition of disability and to establish standards that must be applied to determine if a person has a covered disability. These changes are intended to mitigate the effects of the Supreme Court's decisions in Sutton v. United Airlines, 527 U.S. 471 (1999), and Toyota Motor Manufacturing v. Williams, 534, U.S. 184 (2002). Specifically, the ADA Amendments Act (1) adds illustrative lists of "major life activities," including "major bodily functions," that provide more examples of covered activities and covered conditions than are now contained in agency regulations (sec. 3[2]); (2) clarifies that a person who is "regarded as" having a disability does not have to be regarded as being substantially limited in a major life activity (sec. 3[3]); and (3) adds rules of construction regarding the definition of disability that provide guidance in applying the term "substantially limits" and prohibit consideration of mitigating measures in determining whether a person has a disability (sec. 3[4]).

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: This rule is necessary to bring the Department's ADA regulations into compliance with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, which became effective on January 1, 2009. In addition, this rule is necessary to make the Department's ADA title II and title III regulations consistent with the ADA title I regulations issued on March 25, 2011 by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) incorporating the ADA Amendments Act definition of disability.

Legal Basis: The summary of the legal basis of authority for this regulation is set forth above in the abstract.

Alternatives: In order to ensure consistency in application of the ADA Amendments Act across titles I, II and III of the ADA, this rule is intended to be consistent with the language of the EEOC's rule implementing the ADA Amendments Act with respect to title I of the ADA (employment). The Department will, however, consider alternative regulatory language suggested by commenters so long as it maintains that consistency.

Costs and Benefits: The Department's preliminary analysis indicates that the proposed rule would not be "economically significant," that is, the rule will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million, or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, the environment, public health or safety or State, local or tribal governments or communities. According to the Department's preliminary analysis, it is anticipated that the rule will cost between $36.32 million and $61.8 million in the first year (the year with the highest costs). The Department estimates that in the first year of the implementation of the proposed rule, approximately 142,000 students will take advantage of additional testing accommodations than otherwise would have been able to without the changes made to the definition of disability to conform to the ADA Amendments Act. The Department believes that this will result in benefits for many of these individuals in the form of significantly higher earnings potential. The Department expects that the rule will also have significant non-quantifiable benefits to persons with newly covered disabilities in other contexts, such as benefits of non-exclusion from the programs, services and activities of state and local governments and public accommodations, and the benefits of access to reasonable modifications of policies, practices and procedures to meet their needs in a variety of contexts. In this NPRM, the Department will be soliciting public comment in response to its preliminary analysis.

Risks: The ADA authorizes the Attorney General to enforce the ADA and to promulgate regulations implementing the law's requirements. Failure to update the Department's regulations to conform to statutory changes and to be consistent with the EEOC regulations under title I of the ADA will interfere with the Department's enforcement efforts and lead to confusion about the law's requirements among entities covered by titles I, II and III of the ADA, as well as members of the public.

Abstract: This rule would propose to amend the Department's regulations implementing section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 28 CFR part 39 and part 42, subpart G, and its regulation implementing Executive Order 12250, 28 CFR part 41, to reflect statutory amendments to the definition of disability applicable to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which were enacted in the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Public Law 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (Sep. 25, 2008). The ADA Amendments Act took effect on January 1, 2009. The ADA Amendments Act revised 29 U.S.C. section 705, to make the definition of disability used in the nondiscrimination provisions in title V of the Rehabilitation Act consistent with the amended ADA requirements. These amendments (1) add illustrative lists of "major life activities," including "major bodily functions," that provide more examples of covered activities and covered conditions than are now contained in agency regulations (sec. 3[2]); (2) clarify that a person who is "regarded as" having a disability does not have to be regarded as being substantially limited in a major life activity (sec. 3[3]); and (3) add rules of construction regarding the definition of disability that provide guidance in applying the term "substantially limits" and prohibit consideration of mitigating measures in determining whether a person has a disability (sec. 3[4]). The Department anticipates that these changes will be published for comment in a proposed rule within the next 12 months. During the drafting of these revisions, the Department will also review the currently published rules to ensure that any other legal requirements under the Rehabilitation Act have been properly addressed in these regulations.

Legal Deadline: None

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: This rule is necessary to bring the Department's prior section 504 regulations into compliance with the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, which became effective on January 1, 2009.

Legal Basis: The summary of the legal basis of authority for this regulation is set forth above in the abstract.

Alternatives: Because this NPRM implements statutory changes to the Section 504 definition of disability, there are no appropriate alternatives to issuing this NPRM.

Costs and Benefits: The Department's preliminary assessment in this early stage of the rulemaking process is that this rule will not be "economically significant," that is, that the rule will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million, or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, the environment, public health or safety or State, local or tribal Governments or communities. The Department's Section 504 rule will incorporate the same changes made by the ADA Amendments Act to the definition of disability as are included in the proposed changes to the ADA title II and title III rules (1190-AA59), which will be published in the Federal Register in the near future. Therefore, we do not believe that the revisions to the Department's existing Section 504 federally assisted regulations will have any additional economic impact, because public and private entities that receive federal financial assistance from the Department are also likely to be subject to titles II or III of the ADA. The Department expects to consider further the economic impact of the proposed rule on the Department's existing Section 504 federally conducted regulations, but anticipates that the rule will not be economically significant within the meaning of Executive Order 12866. This is because the revisions to these regulations will only apply to the Department's programs and activities and how those programs and activities are operated so as to ensure compliance with the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 504. In the NPRM, the Department will be soliciting public comment in response to its initial assessment of the impact of the proposed rule.

Risks: Failure to update the Department's Section 504 regulations to conform to statutory changes will interfere with the Department's enforcement efforts and lead to confusion about the law's requirements among entities that receive Federal financial assistance from the Department or who participate in its federally conducted programs.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of Public Accommodations

Abstract: The Department of Justice is considering proposed revisions to the regulation implementing title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in order to address the obligations of public accommodations to make goods, services, facilities, privileges, accommodations, or advantages they offer via the Internet, specifically at sites on the World Wide Web (Web), accessible to individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires that public accommodations provide individuals with disabilities with full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations. 42. U.S.C. 12182. The Internet as it is known today did not exist when Congress enacted the ADA. Today the Internet, most notably the sites on the Web, plays a critical role in the daily personal, professional, and business life of most Americans. Increasingly, private entities of all types are providing goods and services to the public through websites that operate as places of public accommodation under title III of the ADA. Many websites of public accommodations, however, render use by individuals with disabilities difficult or impossible due to barriers posed by websites designed without accessible features. Being unable to access websites puts individuals with disabilities at a great disadvantage in today's society, which is driven by a global marketplace and unprecedented access to information. On the economic front, electronic commerce, or "e-commerce," often offers consumers a wider selection and lower prices than traditional "brick-and-mortar" storefronts, with the added convenience of not having to leave one's home to obtain goods and services. Beyond goods and services, information available on the Internet has become a gateway to education. Schools at all levels are increasingly offering programs and classroom instruction through websites. Many colleges and universities offer degree programs online; some universities exist exclusively on the Internet. The Internet also is changing the way individuals socialize and seek entertainment. Social networks and other online meeting places provide a unique way for individuals to meet and fraternize. These networks allow individuals to meet others with similar interests and connect with friends, business colleagues, elected officials, and businesses. They also provide an effective networking opportunity for entrepreneurs, artists, and others seeking to put their skills and talents to use. Websites also bring a myriad of entertainment and information options for internet users-from games and music to news and videos. The ADA's promise to provide an equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all aspects of American civic and economic life will be achieved in today's technologically advanced society only if it is clear to businesses, educators, and other public accommodations, that their websites must be accessible. Consequently, the Department is proposing to amend its title III regulation to expressly address the obligations of public accommodations to make the websites they use to provide their goods and services to the public accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities under the legal framework established by the ADA. The proposed regulation will propose the scope of the obligation to provide accessibility when persons with disabilities attempt to access websites of public accommodations, as well as propose the technical standards necessary to comply with the

ADA.

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: Many people with disabilities use "assistive technology" to enable them to use computers and access the Internet. Individuals who are blind or have low vision who cannot see computer monitors may use screen readers-devices that speak the text that would normally appear on a monitor. People who have difficulty using a computer mouse can use voice recognition software to control their computers with verbal commands. People with other types of disabilities may use still other kinds of assistive technology. New and innovative assistive technologies are being introduced every day. Websites that do not accommodate assistive technology, for example, can create unnecessary barriers for people with disabilities, just as buildings not designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities can prevent some individuals from entering and accessing services. Web designers may not realize how simple features built into a website will assist someone who, for instance, cannot see a computer monitor or use a mouse. In addition, in many cases, these websites do not provide captioning for videos or live events streamed over the web, leaving persons who are deaf or hard of hearing unable to access the information that is being provided Although the Department has been clear that the ADA applies to websites of private entities that meet the definition of "public accommodations," inconsistent court decisions, differing standards for determining web accessibility, and repeated calls for Department action indicate remaining uncertainty regarding the applicability of the ADA to websites of entities covered bytitle III. For these reasons, the Department plans to propose amendments to its regulation so as to make clear to entities covered by the ADA their obligations to make their websites accessible. Despite the need for action, the Department appreciates the need to move forward deliberatively. Any regulations the Department adopts must provide specific guidance to help ensure web access to individuals with disabilities without hampering innovation and technological advancement on the

Web.

Legal Basis: The ADA requires that public accommodations provide individuals with disabilities with full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations. 42. U.S.C. 12182. Increasingly, private entities of all types are providing goods and services to the public through websites that operate as places of public accommodation
under title III of the ADA.

Alternatives: The Department intends to consider various alternatives for ensuring full access to websites of public accommodations, including alternative implementation schedules and technical requirements applicable to certain Web features or based on a covered entity's size. The Department will solicit public comment addressing its proposed alternatives.

Costs and Benefits: The Department anticipates that this rule will be "economically significant." The Department believes that revising its title III rule to clarify the obligations of public accommodations to provide accessible websites will significantly increase the opportunities of individuals with disabilities to access the variety of goods and services public accommodations offer on the web, while increasing the number of customers that access the websites to procure the goods and services offered by these public accommodations. In drafting this NPRM, the Department will attempt to minimize the compliance costs to public accommodations, while ensuring the benefits of compliance to persons with disabilities. At this stage in the process, the Department is not yet able to provide a preliminary estimate of costs and benefits .

Risks: If the Department does not revise its ADA title III regulations to address website accessibility, persons with disabilities will continue to be unable to access the many goods and services of public accommodations available on the web to

individuals without disabilities.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Movie Captioning and Audio Description

Abstract: Following its advance notice of proposed rulemaking published on July 26, 2010, the Department plans to publish a proposed rule addressing the requirements for captioning and video description of movies exhibited in movie theatres under title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Title III prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the activities of places of public accommodation (private entities whose operations affect commerce and that fall into one of twelve categories listed in the ADA). 42 U.S.C. 12181-12189. Title III makes it unlawful for places of public accommodation, such as movie theaters, to discriminate against individuals with disabilities in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of a place of public accommodation (42 U.S.C. 12182[a]). Moreover, title III prohibits places of public accommodation from affording an unequal or lesser service to individuals or classes of individuals with disabilities than is offered to other individuals (42 U.S.C. 12182(b)(1)(A)(ii)). Title III requires places of public accommodation to take "such steps as may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated differently because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, such as captioning and video description, unless the entity can demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the good, service, facility, privilege, advantage, or accommodation being offered or would result in an undue burden," (42 U.S.C. 12182(b)(2)(A)(iii)).

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: A significant-and increasing-proportion of Americans have hearing or vision disabilities that prevent them from fully and effectively understanding movies without captioning or audio description. For persons with hearing and vision disabilities, the unavailability of captioned or audio-described movies inhibits their ability to socialize and fully take part in family outings and deprives them of the opportunity to meaningfully participate in an important aspect of American culture. Many individuals with hearing or vision disabilities who commented on the Department's 2010 ANPRM remarked that they have not been able to enjoy a commercial movie unless they watched it on TV, or that when they took their children to the movies they could not understand what they were seeing or discuss what was happening with their children. Today, more and more movies are produced with captions and audio description. However, despite the underlying ADA obligation, the advancement of digital technology and the availability of captioned and audio-described films, many movie theaters are still not exhibiting captioned or audio-described movies, and when they do exhibit them, they are only for a few showings of a movie, and usually at off-times. Recently, a number of theater companies have committed to provide greater availability of captioning and audio description. In some cases, these have been nationwide commitments; in other cases it has only been in a particular state or locality. A uniform Federal ADA requirement for captioning and audio description is necessary to ensure that access to movies for persons with hearing and vision disabilities is not dictated by the individual's residence or the presence of litigation in their locality. In addition, the movie theater industry is in the process of converting its movie screens to use digital technology, and the Department believes that it will be extremely helpful to provide timely guidance on the ADA requirements for captioning and audio description so that the industry may factor this into its conversion efforts and minimize costs.

Legal Basis: The summary of the legal basis of authority for this regulation is set forth above in the abstract.

Alternatives: The Department will consider any public comments that propose achievable alternatives that will still accomplish the goal of providing access to movies for persons with hearing and vision disabilities. However, the Department believes that the baseline alternative of not providing such access would be inconsistent with the provisions of title III of the ADA.

Costs and Benefits: The Department's preliminary analysis indicates that the proposed rule would not be "economically significant," that is, that the rule will not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million, or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the economy, the environment, public health or safety or State, local or tribal governments or communities. In the NPRM, the Department will be soliciting public comment in response to its preliminary analysis regarding the costs imposed by the rule.

Risks: Without the proposed changes to the Department's title III regulation, persons with hearing and vision disabilities will continue to be denied access to movies shown in movie theaters and movie theater owners and operators will not understand what they are required to do in order to provide auxiliary aids and services to patrons with hearing and vision disabilities.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability: Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local
Governments

Abstract: The Department published an ANPRM on July 26, 2010, RIN 1190-AA61, that addressed issues relating to proposed revisions of both the title II and title III ADA regulations in order to provide guidance on the obligations of covered entities tomake programs, services and activities offered over the Web accessible to individuals with disabilities. The Department has now divided the rulemakings in the next step of the rulemaking process so as to proceed with separate notices of proposed rulemakings for title II and title III. The title III rulemaking on Web accessibility will continue under RIN 1190-AA61 and the title II rulemaking will continue under the new RIN 1190-AA65. This rulemaking will provide specific guidance to State and local governments in order to make services, programs, or activities offered to the public via the Web accessible to individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires that State and local governments provide qualified individuals with disabilities equal access to their programs, services, or activities unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of their programs, services, or activities or would impose an undue burden. 42. U.S.C. 12132. The Internet as it is known today did not exist when Congress enacted the ADA; yet today the Internet is dramatically changing the way that governmental entities serve the public. Taking advantage of new technology, citizens can now use State and local government websites to correspond online with local officials; obtain information about government services; renew library books or driver's licenses; pay fines; register to vote; obtain tax information and file tax returns; apply for jobs or benefits; and complete numerous other civic tasks. These Government websites are important because they allow programs and services to be offered in a more dynamic, interactive way in order to increase citizen participation; increase convenience and speed in obtaining information or services; reduce costs in providing information about Government services and administering programs; reduce the amount of paperwork; and expand the possibilities of reaching new sectors of the community or offering new programs or services. Many States and localities have begun to improve the accessibility of portions of their websites. However, full compliance with the ADA's promise to provide an equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all aspects of the programs, services, and activities provided by State and local Governments in today's technologically advanced society will only occur if it is clear to public entities that their websites must be accessible. Consequently, the Department intends to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its title II regulations to expressly address the obligations of public entities to make the websites they use to provide programs, activities, or services or information to the public accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities under the legal framework established by the ADA. The proposed regulation will propose the scope of the obligation to provide accessibility when persons with disabilities access public websites, as well as propose the technical standards necessary to comply with the ADA.

However, the Department believes that revising its title II rule to clarify the obligations of State and local Governments to provide accessible websites will significantly increase the opportunities for citizens with disabilities to participate in, and benefit from, State and local Government programs, activities, and services. It will also ensure that individuals have access to important information that is provided over the Internet, including emergency information. The Department also believes that providing accessible websites will benefit State and local Governments as it will increase the numbers of citizens who can use these websites, and thus improve the efficiency of delivery of services to the public. In drafting this NPRM, the Department will attempt to minimize the compliance costs to State and local Governments while ensuring the benefits of compliance to persons with disabilities.

Risks: If the Department does not revise its ADA title II regulations to address website accessibility, persons with disabilities in many communities will continue to be unable to access their State and local governmental services in the same manner available to citizens without disabilities, and in some cases will not be able to access those services at all.

Title: Amendments to the Coordination of Enforcement of Non-Discrimination in Federally Assisted Programs

Abstract: The coordination regulations applicable title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 28 CFR 42.401 to 42.415, have not been revised for more than 30 years. The Department proposes updating these regulations to revise outdated provisions and streamline procedural steps. Changes would address amendments to title VI found in the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) of 1987, which added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to restore their broad meaning and application, Federal agencies adopted these definitions in their title VI regulations in 2003. The Department is also considering streamlining and clarifying provisions regarding information and data collection, assurances and grant application reviews, post-approval reviews, and opportunities to encourage public engagement and transparency as well as further incorporating current law regarding meaningful access for individuals who are limited English proficient. These regulations govern Federal agency enforcement of

title VI.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services; Next Generation 9-1-1

Abstract: In 1991, the Department of Justice published a regulation to implement title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). That regulation includes the requirement that public safety answering points (PSAPs) provide direct access topersons with disabilities who use analog telecommunication devices for the deaf (TTYs). 28 CFR 35.162. On July 26, 2010, the Department published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to address in what manner PSAPs should be required to make changes in communication technology to reflect developments that have occurred since the publication of the 1991 regulation. Many individuals with disabilities now use the Internet and wireless text devices as their primary modes of telecommunications. At the same time, PSAPs are considering and planning to shift from analog telecommunications technology to new Internet-Protocol (IP)-enabled Next Generation 9-1-1 services (NG 9-1-1) that will provide voice and data (such as text, pictures, and video) capabilities. The ANPRM sought information on possible revisions to the Department's regulation to ensure direct access to NG 9-1-1 services for individuals with disabilities. In the next step of the rulemaking process, the Department intends to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise the title II regulation to address requirements for direct access to
NG 9-1-1 services for individuals with disabilities.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by State and Local Governments and Places of Public Accommodation; Equipment and Furniture

Abstract: The ADA requires State and local governments and public accommodations to provide programs, activities, and services in a manner that is accessible to persons with disabilities, including non-fixed equipment and furniture that is used in the delivery of programs, activities, and services. The ADA also requires that covered entities communicate effectively with persons with disabilities and provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services. While some types of fixed equipment and furniture are explicitly covered by the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design, there are no specific provisions in the ADA regulations that include standards governing the accessibility of equipment and furniture that are not fixed. See, e.g., 28 CFR 36.406(b) (the 1991 and 2010 Standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings and structures). Because the 2010 ADA Standards include accessibility requirements for some types of fixed equipment (e.g., ATMs, washing machines, dryers, tables, benches and vending machines), the Department plans to look to these standards for guidance, where applicable, when it proposes accessibility standards for equipment and furniture that is not fixed. On July 26, 2010, the Department published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to consider possible changes to requirements under titles II and III of the ADA to ensure that equipment and furniture used in programs and services provided by public entities and public accommodations are accessible to individuals with disabilities. See RIN 1190-AA64. In the 2010 ANPRM the Department sought public input on possible revisions to its ADA regulations to ensure the accessibility of equipment and furniture in such programs and services, and also sought background information for the regulatory assessment that would be needed for the Department to revise its regulations. The 2010 ANPRM addressed the following broad categories of equipment and furniture: medical equipment and furniture; exercise equipment and furniture; accessible golf cars; beds in accessible guest rooms and sleeping rooms; beds in nursing homes and other care facilities; electronic and information technology; and inquired about the necessity for accessibility of other types of equipment and furniture. The comment period on the 2010 ANPRM closed on January 24, 2011. This was the initial step in the Department's rulemaking process on accessible equipment and furniture. The Department intends to proceed in several stages to revise the title II and title III regulations to address the accessibility requirements for equipment and furniture addressed in the initial 2010 ANPRM. As noted in separate agenda review reports, the Department intends to proceed with a separate ANPRM on medical equipment and furniture and an NPRM on hotel beds in guestrooms with mobility features in places of lodging. These categories of equipment and furniture were included in the 2010 ANPRM. The timetable listed below forthe next step in the rulemaking process includes all of the remaining categories of equipment and furniture from the 2010 ANPRM, RIN 1190-AA64.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by State and Local Governments and Public Accommodations: Accessibility of Medical Equipment and Furniture

Abstract: On July 26, 2010, the Department published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to consider possible changes to requirements under titles II and III of the ADA to require that equipment and furniture used in programs and services provided by public entities and public accommodations are accessible to individuals with disabilities. See RIN 1190- AA64. In the 2010 ANPRM the Department sought public input on possible revisions to its ADA regulations that would be needed to require the accessibility of equipment and furniture in such programs and services, and also sought background information for the regulatory assessment that would be needed for the Department to revise its regulations. The 2010 ANPRM addressed the following broad categories of equipment and furniture: medical equipment and furniture; exercise equipment and furniture; accessible golf cars; beds in accessible guest rooms and sleeping rooms; beds in nursing homes and other care facilities; electronic and information technology; and inquired about the necessity for accessibility of other types of equipment and furniture. The comment period on the 2010 ANPRM closed on January 24, 2011. This was the initial step in the Department's rulemaking process on accessible equipment and furniture. The Department intends to proceed in several stages to revise the title II and title III regulations to address the accessibility requirements for equipment and furniture addressed in the initial 2010 ANPRM. As a separate step in the rulemaking process, the Department plans to publish an ANPRM that solely addresses the accessibility requirements for medical equipment and furniture pursuant to titles II and III of the ADA. This proposed ANPRM will include all of the various types of medical equipment and furniture addressed in the 2010 ANPRM and will allow the Department to solicit more detailed input from the public regarding, among other things, the appropriate accessible features for medical equipment and furniture; the commercial availability of such equipment and furniture; costs associated with the acquisition and implementation of such equipment and furniture; scoping requirements for specific facility types; and triggering events, implementation schedules, and effective dates for requiring compliance with the requirements for accessible medical equipment and furniture. The proposed ANPRM on accessible medical equipment and furniture will also permit the Department, as a member of the Access Board, to coordinate more closely with the Board in the Board's development of standards setting forth minimum technical requirements for medical diagnostic equipment used in (or in conjunction with) physician's offices, clinics, emergency rooms, hospitals, and other medical settings pursuant to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This health care reform legislation added a new section 510 to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and directed the Access Board to promulgate standards to ensure that such medical diagnostic equipment is accessible to, and usable by, individuals with accessibility needs and allows independent entry to, use of, and exit from the equipment or furniture by such individuals to the maximum extent possible. As stated in the 2010 ANPRM, the Department does not intend to issue a final rule on medical equipment, until the Board has promulgated its medical diagnostic equipment standards. When the Board has completed its medical diagnostic equipment standards, the Department will decide whether to adopt them for ADAimplementation in the context of the Department's rulemaking on medical equipment and furniture.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations: Accessibility of Beds in Guestrooms With Mobility Features in Places of Lodging

Abstract: On July 26, 2010, the Department published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to consider possible changes to requirements under titles II and III of the ADA to ensure that equipment and furniture used in programs and services provided by public entities and public accommodations are accessible to individuals with disabilities. See RIN 1190- AA64. In the 2010 ANPRM the Department sought public input on possible revisions to its ADA regulations that would be needed to ensure the accessibility of equipment and furniture in such programs and services, and also sought background information for the regulatory assessment that would be needed for the Department to revise its regulations. The 2010 ANPRM addressed the following broad categories of equipment and furniture: medical equipment and furniture; exercise equipment and furniture; accessible golf cars; beds in accessible guest rooms and sleeping rooms; beds in nursing homes and other care facilities; electronic and information technology; and inquired about the necessity for accessibility of other types of equipment and furniture. The comment period on the 2010 ANPRM closed on January 24, 2011. This was the initial step in the Department's rulemaking process on accessible equipment and furniture. The Department intends to proceed in several stages to revise the title II and title III regulations to address the accessibility requirements for equipment and furniture addressed in the initial 2010 ANPRM. As a separate step in the rulemaking process, the Department plans to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) pursuant to title III of the ADA that will address the requirements for accessible beds in guestrooms with mobility features in places of lodging. Title III of the ADA applies to persons who own, lease or lease to, or operate places of public accommodation (42 U.S.C. 12182[a]), including places of lodging. The proposed rulemaking would address and request public input about, among other things, the features proposed for accessible beds, including bed height and under-bed clearance, as well as the commercial availability of accessible beds (and bed components), the costs associated with the acquisition and implementation of accessible beds, scoping requirements, implementation schedules, and effective dates for compliance.
