EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION
29 CFR Part 1635
RIN 3046-AB02
Regulations Under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
of 2008; Correction
AGENCY: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (``EEOC'' or
``Commission'') is hereby making a technical amendment to the
regulations implementing Title II of the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (``GINA''). Currently, the authority
citation includes a typographical error. This final action will make
the authority citation accurate. The amendment is administrative in
nature and does not make any substantive changes to the regulations
governing GINA.
DATES: This correction is effective March 22, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kerry Leibig, Senior Attorney Advisor,
at 202-921-2663 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#18737d6a6a6136747d717a717f587d7d777b367f776e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fe959b8c8c87d0929b979c9799be9b9b919dd0999188">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title II of GINA was enacted to protect job
applicants, current and former employees, labor union members, and
apprentices and trainees from discrimination based on their genetic
information. The regulations implementing the law were first published
in the Federal Register on November 9, 2009 (75 FR 68912). The
regulations were amended by a final rule published in the Federal
Register on May 17, 2016 (81 FR 31143) and then partially rescinded in
a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2018 (83
FR 65296). When the May 2016 final rule was published, a typographical
error was introduced into the citation to the statutory authority for
the rule. The authority citation currently provided lists 29 U.S.C.
2000ff as the statutory authority for the regulations, instead of 42
U.S.C. 2000ff. This technical amendment corrects that error.
List of Subjects in 29 CFR Part 1635
