    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title II of GINA was enacted to protect job applicants, current and former employees, labor union members, and apprentices and trainees from discrimination based on their genetic information. The regulations implementing the law were first published in the Federal Register on November 9, 2009 (75 FR 68912). The regulations were amended by a final rule published in the Federal Register on May 17, 2016 (81 FR 31143) and then partially rescinded in a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2018 (83 FR 65296). When the May 2016 final rule was published, a typographical error was introduced into the citation to the statutory authority for the rule. The authority citation currently provided lists 29 U.S.C. 2000ff as the statutory authority for the regulations, instead of 42 U.S.C. 2000ff. This technical amendment corrects that error.
