{"abstract":"The rules issued below revise the regulations that apply to grantees under the federal family planning program by readopting the regulations, with one revision, that applied to the program prior to February 2, 1988. Several technical changes to the regulation are also made to remove and/or update obsolete regulatory references. The effect of the revisions made by the rules below is to revoke the compliance standards, promulgated in 1988 and popularly known as the \"Gag Rule,\" that restricted family planning grantees from providing abortion- related information in their grant-funded projects.","action":"Final rules.","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"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2000/07/03/00-16758.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":59,"title":42}],"citation":"65 FR 41270","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"These rules are effective July 3, 2000.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"00-16758","effective_on":"2000-07-03","end_page":41280,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2000/07/03/00-16758.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/07/03/00-16758/standards-of-compliance-for-abortion-related-services-in-family-planning-services-projects","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/00-16758?publication_date=2000-07-03","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2000-07-03/00-16758/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":11,"page_views":{"count":2942,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 08:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-07-03/pdf/00-16758.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2000-07-03","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2000/07/03/00-16758.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":41270,"subtype":null,"title":"Standards of Compliance for Abortion-Related Services in Family Planning Services Projects","toc_doc":"Family planning services projects; abortion-related services; compliance standards","toc_subject":"Grants:","topics":["Grant programs-health","Health facilities"],"type":"Rule","volume":65}
