SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the memorandum of
[[Page 9493]]
January 20, 2025, from the President to executive departments and
agencies, titled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review'' (90 FR 8249),
this action delays the applicability date of the guidance document
entitled, ``Third-Party Contracting Guidance Circular,'' published in
the Federal Register on January 16, 2025, at 90 FR 4838, until 60 days
after the date of the President's memorandum. This guidance cancels and
replaces the previous Third-Party Contracting Guidance dated March 18,
2013 (C 4220.1F). It updates FTA guidance for recipient procurements
financed with FTA assistance (third party contracts) to reflect updates
to statutory and regulatory text that have occurred since 2013. It also
responds to several changes requested by commenters.
This action is exempt from notice and comment requirements in 5
U.S.C. 553 and is effective immediately upon publication in the Federal
Register, based on the impracticability exception in 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(4)(B) and 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). Seeking public comment is
impracticable given the imminence of the original applicability date,
and the temporary delay in applicability date is necessary to give
Department officials the opportunity for further review and
consideration, consistent with the President's memorandum of January
20, 2025.
Authority: 49 CFR 1.91.
Matthew J. Welbes,
Executive Director.
