the Secretary of Labor to promptly rescind regulations and other 
materials implementing or enforcing Executive Order 13495. Accordingly,

Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts--provided that workers on a 
service contract be given the right of first refusal for employment 
with a successor contractor if they would otherwise lose their jobs as 
a result of expiration of the contract. The implementing regulations, 
29 CFR part 9, were promulgated in accordance with the terms of 
Executive Order 13495 and were published in the Federal Register on

investigations or compliance actions based on Executive Order 13495, 
and to ``promptly move to rescind any orders, rules, regulations,

Order 13495.'' Since the authority for these regulations no longer 
exists, the Department for good cause hereby finds that it is 
unnecessary and impracticable to afford notice and comment procedures 
on the rescission of the regulations at 29 CFR part 9, and that such 
rescission should be effective upon publication. As provided in 
Executive Order 13897, the revocation of Executive Order 13495 and the 
rescission of these regulations extend to all investigations or 
compliance actions based on Executive Order 13495.
