Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 22810 [2010-10041]

Download as PDF 22810 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 83 / Friday, April 30, 2010 / Notices programs; and be consistent with the beginning of the new fiscal year for Federal agencies. Given the imminence of the current effective date, seeking prior public comment on this temporary delay would be impractical. Further, given the risk of inconsistency and confusion from the imposition of divergent requirements across federal agencies, it has been determined that seeking prior comment on this temporary delay would be contrary to the public interest. The imminence of the effective date is also good cause for making this rule effective immediately upon publication. DOT’s rule is expected to issue in time to go into effect by October 1, 2010; however, should it later appear that DOT regulations may not issue in time for an October 1, 2010 implementation, SAMHSA will undertake notice and comment rulemaking to delay the effective date further. No other changes to the Mandatory Guidelines have been made. The new effective date for the revisions to the HHS Mandatory Guidelines is October 1, 2010. Dated: April 26, 2010. Pamela S. Hyde, Administrator, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary.
