governing the inspection and
certification for fresh fruits, vegetables,
and other products by amending certain

DATES: As of January 29, 2025, the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

Review,’’ 1 this document temporarily
delays the effective date of the rule
titled, ‘‘Section 8e Import Inspection
Fee Structure,’’ which was published in
the Federal Register on December 30,
2024 (89 FR 106231). The rule revised
the regulations concerning fees charged
for Section 8e import inspections from
a per-carlot basis to a per-pound basis,
reducing the fee for each additional
sublot by 50 percent, and establishing a
new fee calculation for lots less than a
carlot. These revisions would enable
AMS to recover, as nearly as practicable,
the costs of performing inspection
services on imported fresh fruits,
vegetables, and other products in
accordance with the Agricultural
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937.
This action is exempt from notice and
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553 and is
applicable immediately upon
publication in the Federal Register,
based on the good cause exceptions in
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3),
respectively. Seeking public comment is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to the public interest. The
temporary delay in effective date is
necessary to give Department officials
the opportunity for further review and
consideration of new regulations,
consistent with the President’s
memorandum of January 20, 2025.
Given the imminence of the effective
date, seeking prior public comment on
this temporary delay would have been
impractical, as well as contrary to the
public interest in the orderly
promulgation and implementation of
regulations. The imminence of the
effective date is also good cause for
making this action effective
immediately upon publication.

Associate Administrator, Agricultural
Marketing Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the memorandum of
January 20, 2025, from the President to

entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending
Review,’’ this action temporarily delays
the effective date of the rule entitled
‘‘Multifamily Housing Program Update
to the Credit Report Process’’ published
in the Federal Register on December 31,
2024, at 89 FR 106977. That rule made
changes to 7 CFR part 3560 to require

borrowers to provide the credit
report(s). The final rule also includes
conforming changes to rescind 7 CFR
part 1910, subparts B and C, and 7 CFR
1955.118, which are outdated.
