{"abstract":"The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division proposes to revise certain regulations of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA or the Act), primarily to implement recent statutory amendments to the Act. This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes regulations to implement amendments to the military leave provisions of the FMLA made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, which extends the availability of FMLA leave to family members of members of the Regular Armed Forces for qualifying exigencies arising out of the servicemember's deployment; defines those deployments covered under these provisions; and extends FMLA military caregiver leave to family members of certain veterans with serious injuries or illnesses. This NPRM also proposes to amend the regulations to implement the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act, which established new FMLA leave eligibility requirements for airline flight crewmembers and flight attendants. In addition, the proposal includes changes concerning the calculation of leave; reorganization of certain sections to enhance clarity; the removal of the forms from the regulations; and technical corrections of inadvertent drafting errors in the current regulations.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","name":"Labor Department","id":271,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/labor-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/271","parent_id":null,"slug":"labor-department"},{"raw_name":"Wage and Hour Division","name":"Wage and Hour Division","id":524,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/wage-and-hour-division","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/524","parent_id":271,"slug":"wage-and-hour-division"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2012/02/15/2012-2311.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":825,"title":29}],"citation":"77 FR 8960","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2012-04-16","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received on or before April 16, 2012.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2012-2311","effective_on":null,"end_page":9020,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2012/02/15/2012-2311.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/02/15/2012-2311/the-family-and-medical-leave-act","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2012-2311?publication_date=2012-02-15","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2012-02-15/2012-2311/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":61,"page_views":{"count":1928,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 12:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-02-15/pdf/2012-2311.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2012-02311.pdf?1329228150","publication_date":"2012-02-15","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2012/02/15/2012-2311.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1215-AB76":{"issue":"201004","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1215-AB76/the-family-and-medical-leave-act-of-1993-as-amended","title":"The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as Amended","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201004&RIN=1215-AB76&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"},"1235-AA03":{"issue":"201110","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1235-AA03/amendments-to-the-family-and-medical-leave-act-of-1993","title":"Amendments to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201110&RIN=1235-AA03&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1215-AB76","1235-AA03"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1215-AB76/the-family-and-medical-leave-act-of-1993-as-amended","title":"The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, as Amended"},"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=WHD-2012-0001","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"WHD-2012-0001","regulation_id_number":"1215-AB76","title":"The Family Medical Leave Act","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2012-05-02T05:01:09Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":8960,"subtype":null,"title":"The Family and Medical Leave Act","toc_doc":"The Family and Medical Leave Act","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Employee benefit plans","Health","Health insurance","Labor management relations","Maternal and child health","Teachers"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":77}
