Retrieval noteCurrent text (the incorporation now runs to the Federal Register 'on or before February 13, 2026'); the history note is the primary record of the July 21, 2021 emergency adoption and the March 4, 2022 repeal, corroborated by the NCDOL memo of Mar. 30, 2022 (Ex. DUT-NC-016). The federal ETS itself (86 Fed. Reg. 32376, June 21, 2021) is in the federal layer of the library.
