Incorrect Terminology in Regulatory Text; Technical Amendments

This final rule makes limited nomenclature changes to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to conform with Executive Order (E.O.) 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. This change will remove and replace the term "gender" with the term "sex" in the regulatory text of the Listing of Impairments that we use to evaluate disability claims under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act).
