Joint Policies of the Departments of the Interior and of the Army
Relative to Reservoir Project Lands; Delay of Effective Date
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior.
ACTION: Direct 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 delays the effective date of the direct final
rule published on January 16, 2025, to May 16, 2025.
DATES: As of April 16, 2025 the effective date of the rule published at
90 FR 4669 on January 16, 2025, is delayed to a new effective date of
May 16, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeremiah Williamson, Senior Attorney,
telephone: (208) 334-1915, email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#751f100710181c141d5b021c19191c1418061a1b35061a195b111a1c5b121a03"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="640e011601090d050c4a130d08080d0509170b0a24170b084a000b0d4a030b12">[email 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 direct final rule, ``Joint Policies of
the Departments of the Interior and of the Army Relative to Reservoir
Project Lands,'' published on January 16, 2025, at 90 FR 4669, included
a 60-day public comment period that ended on March 17, 2025. The
effective date of the direct final rule is April 16, 2025. The
Department of the Interior is taking this action in response to
Memorandum M-25-10, ``Implementation of Regulatory Freeze,'' of January
20, 2025, from the Executive Office of the President, Office of
Management and Budget, regarding the postponement of effective dates of
certain published regulations. 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 been published in the Federal Register, or any rules that have
been issued in any manner but have not taken effect, for the purpose of
reviewing any questions of fact, law, and policy that the rule may
raise. The Department of the Interior is delaying the effective date of
the direct final rule published at 90 FR 4669 to May 16, 2025.
The Department is delaying the effective date of the direct final
rule without opportunity for public comment and making the delay
effective immediately, based on the good cause exemptions in 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3). The Department concluded that seeking public
comment on the delay is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the
public interest. The delay in effective date until May 16, 2025, is
necessary to give Department 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 the direct final rule, seeking prior
public comment on this delay is impractical, and 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 the Department's decision to make this action
effective immediately.

Senior Advisor to the Secretary, Exercising the Delegated Authority of
