Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 7 / Monday, January 13, 2025 / Proposed Rules 2661 

(B) Analysis. In accordance with 

paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the 

$5,000 in elective deferrals that are 

designated Roth contributions that 

Participant D made at the beginning of 

2026 can be taken into account for 

purposes of satisfying Participant D’s 

Roth catch-up requirement under 

section 414(v)(7). Thus, the portion of 

Participant D’s pre-tax elective deferrals 

that are required to be corrected is 

$1,000 ($6,000 of elective deferrals that 

are in excess of the section 401(a)(30) 

limit, minus $5,000 of elective deferrals 

that were made as designated Roth 

contributions within the taxable year), 

and Employer H must correct the 

section 414(v)(7) failure with respect to 

only $1,000 of Participant D’s pre-tax 

elective deferrals. To keep the $1,000 in 

the plan, Employer H must correct the 

section 414(v)(7) failure using one of the 

methods set forth under paragraph (c)(2) 

of this section, by April 15, 2027 (the 

deadline under paragraph (c)(3)(iii)(A) 

of this section). 

(e) Applicability dates—(1) Statutory 

applicability date. Section 414(v)(7) 

applies to contributions in taxable years 

beginning after December 31, 2023. 

(2) Regulatory applicability dates—(i) 

General rule. Except as provided in 

paragraphs (e)(2)(ii) and (iii) of this 

section, this section applies to 

contributions in taxable years beginning 

after [DATE SIX MONTHS AFTER 

DATE OF PUBLICATION OF FINAL 

RULE]. 

(ii) Collectively bargained plans. In 

the case of an applicable employer plan 

maintained pursuant to one or more 

collective bargaining agreements, 

paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section 

shall not apply until the first taxable 

year described in paragraph (e)(2)(i) of 

this section, or, if later, the first taxable 

year beginning after the date on which 

the last collective bargaining agreement 

related to the plan that is in effect on 

December 31, 2025, terminates 

(determined without regard to any 

extension to those agreements). 

(iii) Early implementation permitted. 

A plan is permitted to apply the rules 

of this section to contributions in any 

taxable year beginning after December 

31, 2023.

Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: DoD, GSA, and NASA are 

withdrawing the proposed rule to 

amend the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) titled: Disclosure of 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and ClimateRelated Financial Risk. Executive Order 

14030, directed the Federal Acquisition 

Regulatory Council to consider 

amending the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) require major Federal 

suppliers to publicly disclose 

greenhouse gas emissions and climaterelated financial risk and to set sciencebased reduction targets. A proposed rule 

was published on November 14, 2022. 

The agencies lack sufficient time during 

the Biden-Harris Administration to 

finalize the proposal. In addition, the 

agencies’ analysis of public comments 

indicates an evolving practices and 

standards in industry, and an evolving 

domestic and international regulatory 

landscape. Accordingly, this proposed 

rule is withdrawn, and the FAR case is 

closed. 

DATES: The proposed rule published on 

November 14, 2022, at 87 FR 68312 is 

withdrawn as of January 13, 2025.

‘‘FAR Case 2021–015’’. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 12, 2022, DoD, GSA, and 

NASA proposed to amend the FAR to 

implement section 5(b)(i) of Executive 

Order (E.O.) 14030, Climate-Related 

Financial Risk, to consider requiring 

major Federal suppliers to publicly 

disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) 

emissions and climate-related financial 

risk and to set science-based reduction 

targets. The agencies lack sufficient time 

during the Biden-Harris Administration, 

however, to finalize the proposal, 

particulalry given the large volume of 

public comments and the policy issues 

they raised. The agencies’ overall 

analysis of public comments indicates 

evolving practices and use of standards 

in industry, and since the publication of 

the proposed rule, differing domestic 

and international regulations covering 

greenhouse gas disclosures have been 

created. The FAR Council will continue 

to monitor recommendations from 

stakeholders on industry practice, both 

voluntary and under other 

requirements, to inform any future 

efforts in anticipation of continued 

movement towards more uniform use of 

standards. Accordingly, the proposed 

rule published at 87 FR 68312 on 

November 14, 2022, is withdrawn and 

FAR Case 2021–015 is closed.
