SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 17, 2025, the FAA issued a final 
rule titled ``Aircraft Registration and Recordation Procedural Updates: 
Original Documents and Stamping'' that was published in the Federal 
Register at 90 FR 5572. The final rule updated certain procedural 
regulations relating to civil aircraft registration and recordation to 
provide administrative relief from the requirements for submitting 
original documents and to sunset the FAA's practice of stamping 
documents. The final rule became effective on January 17, 2025.
    On January 20, 2025, the President issued a memorandum titled 
``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,'' 90 FR 8249 (Jan. 28, 2025), to 
direct executive departments and agencies to consider postposing for 60 
days the effective date for any rules that had been published in the 
Federal Register but had not taken effect for the purpose of reviewing 
any questions of fact, law, and policy that the rules may raise. While 
not explicitly subject to the President's memorandum, the FAA is 
providing notice that it will exercise its enforcement discretion and 
not enforce the provisions of the FAA's final rule titled ``Aircraft 
Registration and Recordation Procedural Updates: Original Documents and 
Stamping'' until March 20, 2025, to allow the officials appointed or 
designated by the President to review the final rule to ensure that it 
is consistent with the law and Administration policies.

Assistant Chief Counsel for Aviation Litigation, Federal Aviation 
Administration.
