This document extends the comment period for the proposed rule that appeared in the Federal Register on December 23, 2025, titled "Transparency in Coverage". The comment period for the proposed rule, which would end on February 23, 2026, is extended until March 2, 2026.
The Office of Workers' Compensation Program is issuing this guidance to clarify the securitization requirements for insurance carriers authorized under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) and its extensions. This guidance establishes a rubric which allows OWCP to adjust the insurance carriers' obligations based on their fiscal stability and performance within the Longshore industry and serves to establish a clear and standardized process for determining the amount of collateral an authorized insurance carrier must deposit to cover its potential liabilities. This clarification benefits insurance carriers by providing predictability which aids in capital planning and avoids arbitrary or unexpected security adjustments. This also helps to standardize compliance across the industry and ensures authorized carriers secure their critical obligations. This sub-regulatory guidance does not supersede existing regulations and is intended to provide insurance carriers (carriers) with clarification on the posting of security deposits to collateralize liabilities.
The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing for public comment a proposal to amend the NCUA's regulations that establish the requirements for obtaining and maintaining federal share insurance with the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund). The provisions of this part apply to all federally insured credit unions (FICUs). The proposal would reduce regulatory burden by eliminating unnecessary and redundant requirements related to disclosing when nonmember accounts are not covered by federal share insurance.
The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing for public comment a proposal to amend the NCUA's regulations that establish the requirements for obtaining and maintaining federal share insurance with the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund). The provisions of this part apply to all federally insured credit unions (FICUs). The proposal would reduce regulatory burden by amending the provision on the timing of prior notice provided to members of the termination of excess non-federal insurance coverage.
The NCUA Board (Board) seeks comment on a proposed rule to remove the maximum borrowing authority from the NCUA's regulations that establish the requirements for obtaining and maintaining federal share insurance with the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund). This provision applies to all federally insured credit unions (FICUs). Removing this regulation would eliminate an unnecessary provision that duplicates the statutory maximum borrowing limit for federal credit unions (FCUs). For federally insured, state-chartered credit unions (FISCUs), removing this section would reduce the federal regulatory burden associated with the federal limit and related waiver provision.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its regulations that govern the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) Traumatic Injury Protection (TSGLI) program to correct an unintended amendment to the TSGLI Schedule of Losses for payments for inability to perform at least two activities of daily living (ADL) for 15, 30, 60, and 90 consecutive day periods as a result of a traumatic injury other than a traumatic brain injury.
This proposed rule would require that a State Medicaid plan must provide that the Medicaid agency will not make payment under the plan for sex-rejecting procedures for children under 18 and prohibit the use of Federal Medicaid dollars to fund sex-rejecting procedures for individuals under the age of 18. In addition, it would require that a separate State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plan must provide that the CHIP agency will not make payment under the plan for sex-rejecting procedures for children under 19 and prohibit the use of Federal CHIP dollars to fund sex-rejecting procedures for individuals under the age of 19.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its regulations governing Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI), Family SGLI (FSGLI), and Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) to allow an alternate applicant to apply for an Accelerated Benefit in certain circumstances. VA also defines key terms and removes contact information and the reproduction of the Accelerated Benefit application form from the text of the regulations.
Risk Management Agency (RMA), on behalf of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), is in the process of reviewing all regulations within its purview to reduce regulatory burdens and costs. Pursuant to this review, FCIC has identified obsolete, unnecessary, and outdated provisions in title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR). FCIC is removing these provisions to streamline and clarify the dictates of title 7. The changes in this rule will reduce confusion for FCIC customers but otherwise the changes will have no impacts to insurance coverage for past or present FCIC customers.
This document updates compliance and other dates presented in the final rule that appeared in the December 13, 2024 Federal Register titled "Administrative Simplification: Modifications of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) Retail Pharmacy Standards; and Modification of the Medicaid Pharmacy Subrogation Standard" to conform with the subsequent final rule that appeared in the February 11, 2025 Federal Register.
Due to the receipt of significant adverse comments, the Department of Labor (Department) is withdrawing the July 1, 2025 direct final rule (DFR) published at 90 FR 28009.
This DFR removes 29 CFR 2550.401c-1 from the Code of Federal Regulations, which the Department of Labor (DOL) believes is obsolete. The regulation applies only to certain insurance policies or contracts issued to (or on behalf of) employee benefit plans on or before December 31, 1998. Given the unlikelihood that any of these policies or contracts remain in effect, the DOL believes the regulation is no longer needed and, if left on the books, could add confusion and unnecessary complexity. Removing obsolete regulations eliminates the burden on the public of having to determine whether they need to comply with the regulations. This action is being taken pursuant to Executive Order 14192, titled Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation.\1\ This action improves the daily lives of the American people by reducing unnecessary, burdensome, and costly Federal regulations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Specifically, through publication of this notice, the Board invites comment on its final rule captioned "Simplification of Share Insurance," published on September 30, 2024, which takes full effect on December 1, 2026; and the final rule captioned "Succession Planning," published on December 26, 2024, which takes full effect on January 1, 2026. The public comment period will allow interested parties to provide comments about issues of fact, law, and policy raised by the two final rules.

That final rule adopted updated versions of the retail pharmacy standards for electronic transactions adopted under the Administrative Simplification subtitle of HIPAA, which constitute modifications to the adopted standards for the following retail pharmacy transactions: health care claims or equivalent encounter information; eligibility for a health plan; referral certification and authorization; and coordination of benefits. It also adopted a modification to the standard for the Medicaid pharmacy subrogation transaction.
