AGENCY: Department of Justice.
ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is publishing its spring 2023
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 <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>
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.

Proposed Rule Stage
124. Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability: Accessibility of Web
Information and Services of State and Local Government Entities [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 public entities' (i.e., State and local governments)
websites and mobile apps fail to incorporate or activate features that
enable users with disabilities to access the public entity's services,
programs, and activities. 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 and mobile apps
accessible to individuals with disabilities.
