The proposed modifications would revise existing standards to better protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information (ePHI). The proposals in this NPRM would increase the cybersecurity for ePHI by revising the Security Rule to address: changes in the environment in which health care is provided; significant increases in breaches and cyberattacks; common deficiencies the Office for Civil Rights has observed in investigations into Security Rule compliance by covered entities and their business associates (collectively, \"regulated entities\"); other cybersecurity guidelines, best practices, methodologies, procedures, and processes; and court decisions that affect enforcement of the Security Rule.","document_number":"2024-30983","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/06/2024-30983/hipaa-security-rule-to-strengthen-the-cybersecurity-of-electronic-protected-health-information","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-01-06/pdf/2024-30983.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-30983.pdf?1735334119","publication_date":"2025-01-06","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of the Secretary"}],"excerpts":"consultation meeting will be held on February 6, 2025, at 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. eastern time.\n \n \n \n ADDRESSES: \n You may submit comments, identified by RIN Number <span class=\"match\">0945-AA22</span>, by any of the following methods.

The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that agencies publish semiannual regulatory agendas in the Federal Register describing regulatory actions they are developing that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602). The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda), published in the fall and spring, helps agencies fulfill all of these requirements. All Federal regulatory agencies have chosen to publish their regulatory agendas as part of this publication. The complete publication of the Fall 2023 Unified Agenda contains the Regulatory Plans of 29 Federal agencies and 69 Federal agency regulatory agendas available to the public at www.reginfo.gov. The Fall 2023 Unified Agenda publication appearing in the Federal Register includes the Regulatory Plan and agency Regulatory Flexibility Agendas, in accordance with the publication requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Agency Regulatory Flexibility Agendas contain only those Agenda entries for rules that are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities and entries that have been selected for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.","document_number":"2024-00476","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/02/09/2024-00476/introduction-to-the-unified-agenda-of-federal-regulatory-and-deregulatory-actions-fall-2023","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-02-09/pdf/2024-00476.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-00476.pdf?1707399919","publication_date":"2024-02-09","agencies":[{"raw_name":"REGULATORY INFORMATION SERVICE CENTER","name":"Regulatory Information Service Center","id":449,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/regulatory-information-service-center","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/449","parent_id":null,"slug":"regulatory-information-service-center"}],"excerpts":"on Discrimination on the Basis of Disability in Health and Human Services Programs or Activities \n 0945-AA15 \n Proposed Rule Stage. \n \n \n 49 \n Proposed Modifications to the HIPAA Security Rule to Strengthen the Cybersecurity of Electronic Protected Health Information \n <span class=\"match\">0945-AA22</span> \n Proposed Rule Stage. \n \n \n 50 \n Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records \n 0945-AA16 \n Final Rule Stage. \n \n \n 51 \n Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities \n 0945-AA17 \n Final Rule Stage. \n \n \n 52 \n Safeguarding the Rights of Conscience as"}]}
