Glen Canyon National Recreation Area; Motor Vehicles; Delay of 
Effective Date

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the memorandum of January 20, 2025, from 
President Donald J. Trump, entitled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending 
Review,'' this action temporarily delays the effective date of a rule 
published on January 13, 2025, until March 21, 2025.

DATES: As of February 11, 2025, the effective date of the final rule 
amending 36 CFR part 7 published at 90 FR 2621, January 13, 2025, is 
delayed to March 21, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle Kerns, Superintendent, Glen 
Canyon National Recreation Area, P.O. Box 1507, Page, Arizona 86040, by 
phone at 928-608-6210, or by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#34737877756b67414451465d5a40515a50515a40745a44471a535b42"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="50171c13110f0325203522393e24353e34353e24103e20237e373f26">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. 
Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of 
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or 
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals 
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within 
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in 
the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Park Service (NPS) is taking 
this action in response to the memorandum of January 20, 2025, from the 
President, entitled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.'' The 
memorandum directed the heads of Executive Departments and Agencies to 
consider postponing for 60 days from the date of the memorandum the 
effective date for any rules that have

[[Page 9519]]

been published in the Federal Register but had not yet taken effect for 
the purpose of reviewing any questions of fact, law, and policy that 
the rules may raise. The NPS has determined the Glen Canyon National 
Recreation Area; Motor Vehicles final rule meets the criteria for 
delaying the effective date. The new effective date for this regulation 
is March 21, 2025.
    The NPS is taking this action, without opportunity for public 
comment and effective immediately, 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 date until March 21, 2025, is necessary to 
give Agency officials the opportunity for further review and 
consideration of new regulations, consistent with the memorandum of the 
President dated January 20, 2025. Given the imminence of the effective 
date of this regulation, seeking prior public comment on this temporary 
delay is impractical, as well as contrary to the public interest in the 
orderly promulgation and implementation of regulations.
    For the foregoing reasons, the good cause exception in 5 U.S.C. 
553(d)(3) also applies to NPS's decision to make this action effective 
immediately. Moreover, to the extent that extending the effective date 
of this rule would grant an exception or relieve a restriction, an 
exception also applies under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1).
    Where appropriate, the Agency may consider further delaying the 
effective date of the above-referenced regulations beyond March 21, 
2025. If the Agency were to do so, consistent with the memorandum of 
the President, the Agency would consider whether to propose any later 
effective date for public comment.

Chief of Staff, Exercising the Delegated Authority of the Assistant 
Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks.
