SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Justice (``Department'')
published an interim final rule titled ``Implementation of HAVANA Act
of 2021,'' which appeared in the Federal Register on April 19, 2024 (89
FR 28633). A technical correction to that interim final rule was
published in the Federal Register on May 3, 2024 (89 FR 36671). That
correction was effective on May 20, 2024.
The interim final rule implemented the HAVANA Act of 2021, Public
Law 117-46, 135 Stat. 391 (2021) (codified at 22 U.S.C. 2680b(i)). The
HAVANA Act authorizes agency heads to provide payments to certain
individuals who have incurred qualifying injuries to the brain. The
interim final rule covers current and former Department of Justice
employees and their dependents. The comment period on the interim final
rule closed June 18, 2024.
The Department received no written or electronic comments on the
interim final rule during the comment period. Although the Department
received no comments about the commenting process, the Department is
concerned that the public may have been hindered from submitting
electronic comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at ``<a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a>'' because of a technical problem
that was discovered after the comment period closed. Accordingly, the
Department is reopening the comment period until November 18, 2024.
Dated: October 8, 2024.
Jolene Ann Lauria,
Assistant Attorney General for Administration.
