Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Sports Programs Arising
Out of Federal Financial Assistance
AGENCY: Office of Civil Rights and EEO, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Direct final rule; delay of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of significant adverse comments, the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) is extending the effective date of the
direct final rule ``Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Sports
Programs Arising Out of Federal Financial Assistance,'' published on
May 16, 2025.
DATES: As of July 14, 2025, the effective date of the direct final rule
published May 16, 2025, at 90 FR 20786, is delayed until September 12,
2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jeffrey Novak, U.S. Department of
Energy, Office of the General Counsel, GC-1, 1000 Independence Avenue
SW, Washington, DC 20585; (202) 586-5281 or
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e3a7aca6a4868d8691828fa08c968d90868fa38b92cd878c86cd848c95"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="55111a1012303b30273439163a203b263039153d247b313a307b323a23">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 16, 2025, DOE published a direct
final rule. (90 FR 20786). DOE stated in that direct final rule that if
significant adverse comments were received by June 16, 2025, DOE would
withdraw the direct final rule or issue a new final rule which responds
to the significant adverse comments.
Because DOE subsequently received significant adverse comments on
that direct final rule, DOE is extending the effective date to consider
comments submitted in response to the direct final rule.
To the extent that 5 U.S.C. 553 applies to this action, it is
exempt from notice and comment because it constitutes a rule of
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A) and for which no notice or hearing
is required by statute. Additionally, this action is not a
``substantive rule'' for which a 30-day delay in effective date is
required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
