ACTION: Notice; delay of effective dates.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the White
House memorandum issued on January
20, 2017 regarding a ‘‘Regulatory Freeze
Pending Review,’’ this notice delays the
effective dates of the Award
Management Requirements Circular and
the Buy America Handbook until March
21, 2017.
DATES: The effective date of each
guidance document is delayed, with a
new effective date of March 21, 2017.

SUMMARY:
On
January 20, 2017, the White House
issued a memorandum regarding a
‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.’’
(https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-pressoffice/2017/01/20/memorandum-headsexecutive-departments-and-agencies).
The memorandum directs the heads of
Executive Departments and Agencies to
postpone for 60 days from the date of
the memorandum, the effective dates of
all regulations that have been published
in the Federal Register but have not yet
taken effect.
In addition to regulations, the White
House memorandum applies to any
agency statement of general
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

applicability and future effect ‘‘that sets
forth a policy on a statutory, regulatory,
or technical issue or an interpretation of
a statutory or regulatory issue.’’ Given
that FTA circulars and other guidance
documents generally set forth policy
and provide guidance to grantees
regarding how to comply with statutes
and regulations, FTA has determined
that the memorandum applies to FTA
guidance documents published but not
yet in effect as of January 20, 2017.
The delay of effective date(s) applies
to the following guidance documents:
Award Management Requirements—
Final Circular (82 FR 4455, Jan. 13,
2017). The original effective date was
February 13, 2017 and the new effective
date is March 21, 2017; and Buy
America Handbook—Conducting PreAward and Post-Delivery Audits of
Rolling Stock Procurements (82 FR
4959, Jan. 17, 2017). The original
effective date was February 16, 2017
and the new effective date is March 21,
2017. These guidance documents
initially were published as proposed
guidance and the public was provided
notice and an opportunity to comment
on the proposed documents. The final
documents reflect consideration of
comments received.
FTA’s implementation of the White
House memorandum without
opportunity for public comment is
based in the good cause exceptions in 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and 553(d)(3), in that
seeking public comment is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest. Given the
imminence of the effective date, seeking
public comment on this temporary
delay is impractical, as well as contrary
to the public interest in the orderly
promulgation and implementation of
guidance documents. The imminence of
the effective date also is good cause for
making this action effective
immediately upon publication. The
temporary delay in effective dates until
March 21, 2017, is necessary to give
administration officials the opportunity
for further review and consideration of
these guidance documents.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the White House memorandum issued on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 20, 2017, the White House issued
a memorandum regarding a ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.'' (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/20/memorandum-heads-executive-departments-and-agencies). The memorandum directs the heads
of Executive Departments and Agencies to postpone for 60 days from the
date of the memorandum, the effective dates of all regulations that
have been published in the Federal Register but have not yet taken
effect.
In addition to regulations, the White House memorandum applies to
any agency statement of general
[[Page 10179]]
applicability and future effect ``that sets forth a policy on a
statutory, regulatory, or technical issue or an interpretation of a
statutory or regulatory issue.'' Given that FTA circulars and other
guidance documents generally set forth policy and provide guidance to
grantees regarding how to comply with statutes and regulations, FTA has
determined that the memorandum applies to FTA guidance documents
published but not yet in effect as of January 20, 2017.
The delay of effective date(s) applies to the following guidance
documents: Award Management Requirements--Final Circular (82 FR 4455,
Jan. 13, 2017). The original effective date was February 13, 2017 and
the new effective date is March 21, 2017; and Buy America Handbook--
Conducting Pre-Award and Post-Delivery Audits of Rolling Stock
Procurements (82 FR 4959, Jan. 17, 2017). The original effective date
was February 16, 2017 and the new effective date is March 21, 2017.
These guidance documents initially were published as proposed guidance
and the public was provided notice and an opportunity to comment on the
proposed documents. The final documents reflect consideration of
comments received.
FTA's implementation of the White House memorandum without
opportunity for public comment is based in the good cause exceptions in
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and 553(d)(3), in that seeking public comment is
impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public interest. Given the
imminence of the effective date, seeking public comment on this
temporary delay is impractical, as well as contrary to the public
interest in the orderly promulgation and implementation of guidance
documents. The imminence of the effective date also is good cause for
making this action effective immediately upon publication. The
temporary delay in effective dates until March 21, 2017, is necessary
to give administration officials the opportunity for further review and
consideration of these guidance documents.
