AGENCY: Department of Justice.

ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is publishing its spring 2025
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.

110. <bullet> NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY IN STATE AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES (SECTION 610 REVIEW) [1190-AA80]

Legal Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301; 28 U.S.C. 509 to 510; 42 U.S.C.
12134; PL 101-336
Abstract: On September 15, 2010, the Department published a final
rule revising its regulations implementing title II of the Americans
With Disabilities Act (ADA) (75 FR 56164) to adopt enforceable
accessibility standards under the ADA that were consistent with the
minimum guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and
Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) and to update
or amend certain provisions of the title II regulation so that they
comported with the Department's legal and practical experiences in
enforcing the ADA since 1991. Title II of the ADA relates to
nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in State and local
government services.
Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610)
requires agencies once every 10 years to review rules that have a
significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small
entities. Accordingly, pursuant to the requirements of section 610, the
Department is planning to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) to review its ADA title II regulations at 28 CFR 35.

111. <bullet> NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY IN PUBLIC
ACCOMMODATIONS AND COMMERCIAL FACILITIES (SECTION 610 REVIEW) [1190-
AA81]

Legal Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301; 28 U.S.C. 509 to 510; 42 U.S.C.
12186(b); PL 101-336
Abstract: On September 15, 2010, the Department published a final
rule revising its regulations implementing title III of the Americans
With Disabilities Act (ADA) (75 FR 56236) that established requirements
for the design and construction of accessible facilities that were
consistent with the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) published by
the U.S. Architectural and

[[Page 45533]]

Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board). Title III of
the ADA relates to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in
public accommodations and commercial facilities.
Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610)
requires agencies once every 10 years to review rules that have a
significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small
entities. Accordingly, pursuant to the requirements of section 610, the
Department is planning to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) to review its ADA title III regulations at 28 CFR 36.

112. <bullet> NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY;
ACCESSIBILITY OF WEB INFORMATION AND SERVICES OF STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENT ENTITIES [1190-AA82]

Legal Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301; 28 U.S.C. 509 to 510; 42 U.S.C.
12134; PL 101-36
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. Accordingly, on April 24, 2024, the
Department published a final rule revising its regulations implementing
title II of the (ADA) 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.
(89 FR 31320)
The Department now plans to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) to reconsider whether some of the regulatory provisions imposed
by the April 24, 2024 rule could be made less costly.

113. PROVISIONS REGARDING ACCESS TO AMERICANS' BULK SENSITIVE PERSONAL
DATA AND GOVERNMENT-RELATED DATA BY COUNTRIES OF CONCERN [1124-AA01]

Legal Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301; 28 U.S.C. 509, 510; E.O. 14117--
Preventing Access to Americans' Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United
States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern
Abstract: On February 28, 2024, the President issued the
``Executive Order Preventing Access to Americans' Bulk Sensitive
Personal Data and U.S. Government-Related Data by Countries of
Concern'' (E.O. 14117). The Order directs the Attorney General to issue
regulations that prohibit or otherwise restrict United States persons
from engaging in any acquisition, holding, use, transfer,
transportation, or exportation of, or dealing in, any property in which
a foreign person has any interest, where the transaction: (a) involves
U.S. Government-related data or bulk U.S. sensitive personal data, as
defined by final rules implementing the Order; (b) falls within a
category of transactions that the Attorney General has determined pose
an unacceptable national security risk of access by countries of
concern or covered persons to Americans' bulk sensitive personal data
or U.S. Government-related data; or (c) meets other criteria specified
by the Order.
On March 5, 2024, the Department published an Advanced Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking public comment on various topics
related to the implementation of the Order, including designating
countries of concern and covered persons, identifying prohibited and
restricted data transactions, defining U.S. governmentrelated data and
bulk U.S. sensitive personal data, and other provisions relating to the
Order's interpretation, enforcement, and compliance therewith.
The Department plans to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) later this year.
