- Secretary Sebelius announced Aug. 3 that authority for the administration and enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Security Rule has been delegated to the Office for Civil Rights. OCR also has been responsible for enforcement of the Privacy Rule. ARRA mandated improved enforcement of the Privacy and Security Rules.
