1We also use the listings in the sequential 

evaluation processes we use to determine whether 

a beneficiary’s disability continues. See 20 CFR 

404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a. 

553(a)(1). For the same reason, a 

delayed effective date is not required 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. 

Executive Order 12866 

CBP has determined that this

Order 12866 because it pertains to a 

foreign affairs function of the United 

States, as described above, and therefore 

is specifically exempted by section 

3(d)(2) of Executive Order 12866. 

Signing Authority 

This regulation is being issued in 

accordance with 19 CFR 0.1(a)(1), 

pertaining to the Secretary of the

[Docket No. SSA–2022–0025] 

RIN 0960–AI73 

Extension of Expiration Dates for 

Three Body System Listings 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are extending the 

expiration dates of the following body 

systems in the Listing of Impairments 

(listings) in our regulations: Low Birth 

Weight and Failure to Thrive, Endocrine 

Disorders, and Cancer (Malignant 

Neoplastic Diseases). We are making no 

other revisions to these body systems in 

this final rule. This extension ensures 

that we will continue to have the 

criteria we need to evaluate 

impairments in the affected body 

systems at step three of the sequential 

evaluation processes for initial claims 

and continuing disability reviews. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 

18, 2022.

Medical Policy, Social Security 

Administration, 6401 Security 

Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235–6401,

For information on eligibility or filing 

for benefits, call our national toll-free

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

We use the listings in appendix 1 to 

subpart P of part 404 of 20 CFR at the 

third step of the sequential evaluation 

process to evaluate claims filed by 

adults and children for benefits based 

on disability under the title II and title 

XVI programs.1 20 CFR 404.1520(d), 

416.920(d), 416.924(d). The listings are 

in two parts: Part A has listings criteria 

for adults and Part B has listings criteria 

for children. If you are age 18 or over, 

we apply the listings criteria in Part A 

when we assess your impairment or 

combination of impairments. If you are 

under age 18, we first use the criteria in 

Part B of the listings when we assess 

your impairment(s). If the criteria in 

Part B do not apply, we may use the 

criteria in Part A when those criteria 

consider the effects of your 

impairment(s). 20 CFR 404.1525(b), 

416.925(b). 

Explanation of Changes 

In this final rule, we are extending the 

dates on which the listings for the 

following three body systems will no 

longer be effective as set out in the 

following chart:

2We last extended the expiration dates of the 

three body system listings affected by this final rule 

on May 21, 2020 (85 FR 30842).

P of part 404 of 20 CFR.

Low Birth Weight and Failure to Thrive 100.00 ...................................................... August 12, 2022 ..................................... August 14, 2026.

Cancer (Malignant Neoplastic Diseases) 13.00 and 113.00 .................................. August 12, 2022 ..................................... August 14, 2026. 

We continue to revise and update the 

listings on a regular basis, including 

those body systems not affected by this 

final rule.2 We intend to update the 

three listings affected by this final rule 

as necessary based on medical advances 

as quickly as possible, but may not be 

able to publish final rules revising these 

listings by the current expiration date. 

Therefore, we are extending the 

expiration dates listed above. 

Regulatory Procedures 

Justification for Final Rule 

We follow the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking 

procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in 

promulgating regulations. Section 

702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. 902(a)(5). Generally, the APA 

requires that an agency provide prior 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment before issuing a final 

regulation. The APA provides 

exceptions to the notice-and-comment 

requirements when an agency finds 

there is good cause for dispensing with 

such procedures because they are 

impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest. 

We determined that good cause exists 

for dispensing with the notice and 

public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B). This final rule only extends 

the date on which the three body system 

listings will no longer be effective. It 

makes no substantive changes to our 

rules. Our current regulations 3 provide 

that we may extend, revise, or 

promulgate the body system listings 

again. Therefore, we determined that 

opportunity for prior comment is 

unnecessary, and we are issuing this 

regulation as a final rule. 

In addition, for the reasons cited 

above, we find good cause for 

dispensing with the 30-day delay in the 

effective date of this final rule. 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). We are not making any 

substantive changes to the listings in 

these body systems. Without an 

extension of the expiration date for 

these listings, we will not have the 

criteria we need to assess medical 

impairments in these three body 

systems at step three of the sequential 

evaluation processes. We therefore find 

it is in the public interest to make this 

final rule effective on the publication 

date. 

Executive Order 12866, as 

Supplemented by Executive Order 

13563 

We consulted with the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

determined that this final rule does not 

meet the requirements for a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866, as supplemented by Executive 

Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not 

review it. We also determined that this 

final rule meets the plain language 

requirement of Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

We certify that this final rule does not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

because it affects only individuals. 

Therefore, a regulatory flexibility 

analysis is not required under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This final rule only extends the date 

for the medical listings cited above, but 

does not create any new or affect any 

existing collections, or otherwise change 

any content of the currently published 

rules. Accordingly, it does not impose 

any burdens under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act and does not require 

OMB approval.
