BILLING CODE 4710-08-P EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION 29 CFR Part 1614 RIN 3046-AA94 Affirmative Action for Individuals With Disabilities in Federal Employment; Correction AGENCY: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. ACTION: Final rule; correction. SUMMARY: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the **Federal Register** of January 3, 2017 (82 FR 654). The document amended the regulations that require federal agencies to engage in affirmative action for individuals with disabilities, clarifying the obligations that the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 imposes on federal agencies, as employers, that are over and above the obligation not to discriminate on the basis of disability.

The document published January 3 neglected to indicate its effective date. This document corrects that omission. The applicability date remains January 3, 2018. DATES: Effective March 6, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Kuczynski, Assistant Legal Counsel,

(202)663-4665, or Aaron Konopasky, Senior Attorney-Advisor,
