Title: Settlement Payments to Non-Governmental Third Parties 
Abstract:

This interim final rule revoked Department regulations issued during the prior Administration that prohibited (subject to limited exceptions), the inclusion of provisions in settlement agreements directing or providing for a payment or loan to a non-governmental person or entity that is not a party to the dispute.  The Department's approach to settlement agreements that involve payments to non-governmental third parties is currently governed by an Attorney General Memorandum on this subject.  The Department is reviewing comments on the IFR in preparation for drafting a final rule finalizing the IFR.
