SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA bases this action on the Presidential 
directive as expressed in the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the 
Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ``Regulatory 
Freeze Pending Review.'' That memorandum directed the heads of 
Executive Departments and Agencies to temporarily postpone for sixty 
days from the date of the memorandum the effective dates of all 
regulations that had been published in the Federal Register but had not 
yet taken effect. The memorandum also noted certain exceptions that do 
not apply here. EPA identified 30 regulations that meet those criteria. 
Those regulations are listed in the table below. The new effective date 
for all 30 regulations is March 21, 2017.
    The Agency's implementation of this action without opportunity for 
public comment is based on the good cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3), in that seeking public comment is 
impracticable, unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. The 
temporary delay in effective dates until March 21, 2017, is necessary 
to give Agency officials the opportunity for further review and 
consideration of new regulations, consistent with the memorandum of the 
Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, dated January 20, 2017. 
Given the imminence of these effective dates, 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. In addition, to the extent any 
regulation below is a procedural rule, it is exempt from notice and 
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
    Some of the regulations listed below would not have taken effect 
until late February or March. For those regulations, the length of 
today's delay is necessarily shorter than the delay established for 
regulations that would have taken effect in January or early February. 
The good cause exception applies here as well, because soliciting 
comment would be contrary to the public interest. First, by announcing 
today that all eligible regulations would be delayed until a single 
fixed date (March 21, 2017), the Agency provides immediate notice of 
its intention to further review and consider those regulations in 
addition to the others that would have taken effect sooner. This allows 
the later-published regulations to be considered more easily in context 
of the earlier-published regulations. Second, by focusing its attention 
on the substance of those later regulations rather than soliciting 
comment on a decision to delay their effective date until March 21, 
2017, the Agency can minimize or obviate the need for further temporary 
delays beyond March 21. Third, as a practical matter, the new effective 
date for these regulations would extend by only a few weeks their 
original effective dates.
    For the foregoing reasons, the good cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3) also apply to EPA's decision to make today's 
action effectively immediately.
