    The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is withdrawing a direct final rule published on December 14, 2020, which proposed changes to regulations on electronic filing, settlements, and penalties under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. This action aligns with a January 20, 2021, memorandum from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff aiming for a regulatory review by the new administration. The withdrawal provides the administration time for assessment and may invite further public comments later.

    Simple Explanation

    The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs had a new rule to change how some workers' paperwork is handled, but they decided to wait and think about it some more because the new President asked them to check it again.

    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.

But when a new president came into office, they paused these changes to think about them more, and now they're starting over to make sure everything is just right.
