SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the memorandum of January
20, 2025, from the President to executive departments and agencies,
entitled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review'' (90 FR 8249; Jan. 28,
2025), this action temporarily delays the effective date of the rule
titled Buy America Requirements for Manufactured Products published in
the Federal Register on January 14, 2025, at 90 FR 2932.
This action is exempt from notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 553
and is effective 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.
Issued in Washington, DC, under authority delegated in 49 CFR
1.85.
James O. Payne, III,
Chief Counsel, Federal Highway Administration.
