On December 14, 2020, the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) proposed a rule in the Federal Register to revise rules around electronic filing and settlements and to make new procedures for penalties under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. However, after a new administration took office on January 20, 2021, a memo was issued to pause such regulations for review. Following this, OWCP decided to withdraw the proposed rule as of February 9, 2021, to allow time for the new administration to review and possibly revise it. Once this review is complete, a new proposed rule will be issued for public comment.
