Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: Department of Justice.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is publishing its spring 2022 
regulatory agenda pursuant to Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review,'' 58 FR 51735, and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 
5 U.S.C. 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: 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.

    Dated: April 5, 2022.
Hampton Y. Dellinger,
Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Policy.

Long-Term Actions

141. <bullet> Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability: 
Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local 
Governments [1190-AA79]

    Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.
    Abstract: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) states that: no 
qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such 
disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits 
of services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be 
subjected to discrimination by any such entity 42 U.S.C. 12132. 
However, many websites from public entities (i.e., State and local 
governments) fail to incorporate or activate features that enable users 
with disabilities to access the public entity's programs, activities, 
services, or information online. The Department intends to publish a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend its Title II ADA 
regulation to provide technical standards to assist public entities in 
complying with their existing obligations to make their websites 
accessible to individuals with disabilities.
