promulgated on January 12, 2021. Those provisions are now effective August 11, 2021.
DATES: February 9, 2021.

Johanna Nestor at Johanna.Nestor@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 12, 2021, the Department issued amendments to and repromulgated portions of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, 45 CFR part 75. 86 FR
2257. That rule repromulgated provisions of part 75 that were originally published late in 2016. It also made amendments to 45 CFR 75.300c and d.
Specifically, the rule amended paragraph c, which previously provided that it is a public policy requirement of HHS that no person otherwise eligible will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in the administration of HHS programs and services based on non-merit factors such as age, disability, sex, race, color, national origin, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Recipients must comply with this public policy requirement in the administration of programs supported by HHS awards. The rule amended paragraph c to provide that it is a public policy requirement of HHS that no person otherwise eligible will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in the administration of HHS programs and services, to the extent doing so is prohibited by federal statute.
Additionally, the rule amended paragraph d, which previously provided that in accordance with the Supreme Court decisions in United States v. Windsor and in Obergefell v.
Hodges, all recipients must treat as valid the marriages of same-sex couples. This does not apply to registered domestic partnerships, civil unions or similar formal relationships recognized under state law as something other than a marriage. The rule amended paragraph d to provide that HHS will follow all applicable Supreme Court decisions in administering its award programs.
On February 2, the portions of rulemaking amendments to 75.300
and a conforming amendment at 75.101f were challenged in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia. Facing Foster Care et al. v.
HHS, 21cv00308 D.D.C. filed Feb. 2, 2021. On February 9, the court postponed, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 705, the effective date of the challenged portions of the rule by 180 days, until August 11,
