EO 13979 requires agency rules to be signed by a senior appointee.
Agency Actions
The Dept. of Health & Human Services issued a notice of proposed rulemaking modifying health privacy rules that "may impede the transition to value-based health care by limiting care coordination among individuals and covered entities." Comments due March 22.
