SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2025 (90 FR 28044), PHMSA
published a DFR amending its regulations at 49 CFR part 190 to amend
the definition of ``day'' at 49 CFR 190.3 to specify that a filing
deadline scheduled to fall on a weekend or Federal holiday will be
deferred until the following business day.
PHMSA issued the DFR under the procedures set forth at 49 CFR
190.339. In accordance with those provisions, PHMSA stated in the DFR
that if no adverse comments were received, the DFR would become final
and effective on October 9, 2025. PHMSA's regulations at 49 CFR 190.339
require that, in the event a direct final rule does not garner an
adverse comment or notice to file such a comment, the effective date
stated in the DFR or at least 30 days after publication of the
confirmation document, whichever is later. PHMSA is hereby providing
confirmation that it did not receive any comments that warranted
withdrawal of the DFR, and therefore, the DFR published July 1, 2025
(90 FR 28044), is effective on November 3, 2025.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 30, 2025, under the
authority designated in 49 CFR 1.97.
Benjamin D. Kochman,
Deputy Administrator.
