    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) has decided to withdraw a notice and request for comments about self-insurance under the Black Lung Benefits Act that was initially published on January 8, 2021. This decision is due to changes in the legal rules and guidance that initially justified the publication. Although the notice has been withdrawn, there's no change to existing laws or regulations. OWCP plans to review the self-insurance bulletin and will allow the public to comment on self-insurance procedures at a future date.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided to stop asking people what they think about a special rule for coal companies to handle certain health costs on their own. They're planning to think about it more and ask for ideas again later, but right now, nothing is changing for the rules or how things work.
