Description: On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and its hundreds of thousands of members, activists, and fifty-three affiliates nationwide, we thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the United States Department of Labor’s (DOL) notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comments dated February 11, 2008. The ACLU strongly concurs with the comprehensive comments submitted today by the National Partnership for Women and Families and the other signatories to their letter. We support and agree with their discussion of and recommendations regarding the proposed rules, especially with respect to those issues the ACLU raised in our response, dated February 16, 2007, to the DOL’s Request for Information. We are also submitting this letter to echo and amplify the National Partnership's comments with respect to the proposed rules relating to medical privacy and waiver of judicial or agency review of settlement agreements.
