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 [email protected].

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Register on May 17, 2016 (81 FR 31143) and then partially rescinded in 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

    Administrative practice and procedure, Equal employment 
opportunity.

    Accordingly, 29 CFR part 1635 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendment:

    For the Commission,
