The Labor Department said in its filing that the ultimate outcome of its review of the rule could lead to changes that differ from the current version being challenged.
"Although the (Labor) Department conducted an exhaustive regulatory impact analysis in this rulemaking, its cost-benefit analysis was challenged in this litigation and could be updated," the department said in the filing.
The department also asked the judge if it could present an "initial joint status report" by March 10 to provide an update to the court.
