Creation of a "Touhy" Rule Governing Subpoenas and Requests for Documents and Testimony Involving LSC
LSC proposed to create a rule governing subpoenas and requests for LSC documents and testimony by non-federal litigants in cases in which LSC is not a party. Currently, LSC has no internal or external procedures in place to process such requests. This rule provides the public with guidance on where to send requests and establishes procedures by which those requests will be processed.
Final Rule: 45 CFR Part 1603—Requests for Documents and Testimony effective May 18, 2018, 83 Fed. Reg. 17,086 (April 18, 2018)

45 CFR Part 1629—Bonding Requirements for Recipients
LSC has made several changes to the bonding requirements applicable to recipients of LSC grants, including (1) defining the term “annualized funding level” to encompass Basic Field Grants and any special grant funds (for example: Technology Initiative Grants, Pro Bono Innovation Fund Grants, or emergency relief grants); (2) expanding the list of individuals required to be covered by a recipient’s bond; (3) revising the rule to permit recipients to purchase fidelity bonds or employee dishonesty policies that include deductibles; and (4) raising the minimum level of coverage.
The final rule will become effective on September 8, 2017.
LSC recipients and subrecipients must comply with the rule no later than December 31, 2017.
