3046-AB44 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3046 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEOC Rescission of Appendix to Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex

The EEOC is rescinding the appendix to its Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex.  The appendix was written in 1979, shortly after passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and predates the 2022 Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), which requires workplace accommodations related to pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions.  The appendix, interpreting the PDA, is in several respects outdated.
