Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 1 / Friday, January 2, 1998 / Notices 105

delayed 60 days for Congressional

review. This has been determined to be

a major rule under title 5, United States

Code, section 804(2). However, as

indicated in section XI.A of the

preamble to this notice with comment

period, for good cause, we find that

prior notice and comment procedures

are impracticable and unnecessary.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. section 808(2), a

major rule shall take effect at such time

as the Federal agency promulgating the

rule determines if for good cause it finds

that notice and public procedure is

impracticable or unnecessary.

Accordingly, under the exemption

provided in 5 U.S.C section 808(2), this

schedule of limits is effective for cost

reporting periods beginning on or after

October 1, 1997.

D. Public Comments

Because of the large number of items

of correspondence we normally receive

on a notice with comment period, we

are not able to acknowledge or respond

to them individually. However, we will

consider all comments concerning the

provisions of this notice that we receive

by the date and time specified in the

‘‘Dates’’ section of this notice, and we

will respond to those comments in a

subsequent notice.
