SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 
13 CFR Part 107 
RIN 3245–AG67 
Small Business Investment 
Companies: Passive Business Expansion and Technical Clarifications 
AGENCY : U.S. Small Business 
Administration. 
ACTION : Final rule; delay of effective 
date and opportunity for public comment. 
SUMMARY : On December 28, 2016, the 
Small Business Administration (SBA) published a final rule to expand permitted investments in passive businesses and provide further clarification with regard to investments in such businesses for the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) Program, with an effective date of January 27, 2017. In the meantime, a memorandum dated January 20, 2017 from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review’’ calls for agencies to temporarily postpone the effective date of rules not yet effective and invite new public comment. In view of this development, SBA is delaying the effective date of this rule until 
March 21, 2017, and is inviting additional public comment on the final rule. Any timely public comments received will be considered and any changes to the final rule will be published in the Federal Register. 
DATES : The effective date of the SBA 
final rule published December 28, 2016 (81 FR 95419) is delayed until March 21, 2017. Comments must be received on or before February 19, 2017. 
ADDRESSES : You may submit comments, 
identified by RIN 3245–AG67, by any of the following methods: 
Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
instructions for submitting comments. Mail, Hand Delivery/Courier: Theresa 
Jamerson, Office for Investment and 
Innovation, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street SW., Washington, DC 20416.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The U.S. 
Small Business Administration (SBA) is revising the regulations for the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program to expand permitted investments in passive businesses and provide further clarification with regard to investments in such businesses. SBICs are generally prohibited from investing in passive businesses under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (Act). SBIC program regulations provide for two exceptions that allow an SBIC to structure an investment utilizing a passive small business as a pass-through. The first exception provides conditions under which an SBIC may structure an investment through up to two levels of passive entities to make an investment in a non-passive business that is a subsidiary of the passive business directly financed by the SBIC. The second exception, prior to this final rule, enabled a partnership SBIC, with SBA’s prior approval, to provide financing to a small business through a passive, wholly-owned C corporation (commonly known as a blocker corporation), but only if a direct financing would cause the SBIC’s investors to incur Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI). This final rule clarifies several aspects of the first exception and in the second exception eliminates the prior approval requirement and expands the purposes for which a blocker corporation may be formed. The final rule also adds new 
reporting and other requirements for passive investments to help protect SBA’s financial interests and ensure adequate oversight and makes minor technical amendments. Finally, this rule makes a conforming change to the regulations regarding the amount of leverage available to SBICs under common control. This change is necessary for consistency with the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, which increased the maximum amount of such leverage to $350 million.

Delay of Effective Date for 30 Final Regulations Published by the Environmental Protection Agency Between October 28, 2016 and January 17, 2017 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). 
ACTION : Final rule; delay of effective 
dates. 
SUMMARY : In accordance with the 
Presidential directive as expressed in the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,’’ this action temporarily delays until March 21, 2017, the effective date of the regulations listed in the table below. EPA identified 30 regulations that meet those criteria. 
DATES : This regulation is effective 
January 26, 2017. The effective date of each regulation listed in the table below is delayed to a new effective date of March 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : EPA bases 
this action on the Presidential directive as expressed in the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.’’ That memorandum directed the heads of Executive Departments and Agencies to temporarily postpone for sixty days from the date of the memorandum the effective dates of all regulations that had been published in the Federal Register but had not yet taken effect. The memorandum also noted certain exceptions that do not apply here. EPA identified 30 regulations that meet those criteria. Those regulations are listed in the table below. The new effective date for all 30 regulations is March 21, 2017. 
The Agency’s implementation of this 
action without opportunity for public comment is 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 dates until March 21, 2017, is necessary to give Agency officials the opportunity for further review and consideration of new regulations, consistent with the memorandum of the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, dated January 20, 2017. Given the imminence of these effective dates, 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. In addition, to the extent any regulation below is a procedural rule, it is exempt from notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). 
Some of the regulations listed below 
would not have taken effect until late February or March. For those regulations, the length of today’s delay is necessarily shorter than the delay established for regulations that would have taken effect in January or early February. The good cause exception applies here as well, because soliciting comment would be contrary to the public interest. First, by announcing 
today that all eligible regulations would be delayed until a single fixed date (March 21, 2017), the Agency provides immediate notice of its intention to further review and consider those regulations in addition to the others that would have taken effect sooner. This allows the later-published regulations to be considered more easily in context of the earlier-published regulations. Second, by focusing its attention on the substance of those later regulations rather than soliciting comment on a decision to delay their effective date until March 21, 2017, the Agency can minimize or obviate the need for further temporary delays beyond March 21. Third, as a practical matter, the new effective date for these regulations would extend by only a few weeks their original effective dates. 
For the foregoing reasons, the good 
cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) 
and 553(d)(3) also apply to EPA’s decision to make today’s action effectively immediately.

date. 
SUMMARY : In accordance with a January 
20, 2017, memo from the White House, we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are delaying the effective date of a rule we published on December 27, 2016. 
DATES : The effective date of the rule that 
published on December 27, 2016, at 81 FR 95053, is delayed from January 26, 2017, to March 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On 
December 27, 2016, we published a rule to revise the regulations concerning enhancement-of-survival permits issued under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, associated with Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances. We added the term ‘‘net conservation benefit’’ to the Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances regulations, and eliminated references to ‘‘other necessary properties’’ to clarify the level of conservation effort we require each agreement to include in order for us to approve a Candidate Conservation 
Agreement with Assurances. The rule was to be effective on January 26, 2017. 
On January 20, 2017, the White House 
issued a memo instructing Federal agencies to temporarily postpone the effective date for 60 days after January 20, 2017, of any regulations that have published in the Federal Register but 
not yet taken effect, for the purpose of ‘‘reviewing questions of fact, law, and policy they raise.’’ We are, therefore, delaying the effective date of our rule published on December 27, 2016, at 81 FR 95053 (see 
DATES , above). 
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1361–1407; 1531–
