SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 20, 2017, the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff issued a memorandum entitled, ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.'' This memorandum directed heads of executive departments and agencies to take certain steps to ensure that the President's appointees and designees have the opportunity to review new or pending regulations. It instructed agencies to temporarily postpone the effective dates of regulations that had been published in the Federal Register but were not yet effective until 60 days after the date of the memorandum (January 20, 2017). In accordance with that directive, the Department is delaying the effective dates of the regulations listed below as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIN Title Agency contact Original effective date Delayed effective date -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1810-AB27...........................

(855) 249-3072 [email protected]. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first of several regulatory actions the Department intends to take regarding regulations that have been published in the Federal Register but had not taken effect as of January 20, 2017, including the Department's regulations for Borrower Defense (RIN 1840- AD19), TEACH Grants (RIN 1840-AD07), and State Authorization (RIN 1840- AD20) issued under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Waiver of Rulemaking and Delayed Effective Date: Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553), the Department generally offers interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed regulations and publishes rules not less than 30 days before their effective dates. However, the APA provides that an agency is not required to conduct notice-and-comment rulemaking or delay effective dates when the agency, for good cause, finds that the requirement is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3)). There is good cause to waive both of these requirements here as the President's appointees and designees need to delay the effective dates of these regulations to have adequate time to review new or pending regulations, and neither the notice and comment processes nor delayed effective date could be implemented in time to allow for this review.
