interest. The temporary delay in 

effective dates until March 21, 2025, is 

necessary to give Agency 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 dates of 

these regulations, seeking prior public 

comment on this temporary delay is 

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 an interpretive 

rule, general statement of policy, or rule 

of agency organization, procedure, or 

practice, it is exempt from notice and 

comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). 

For the foregoing reasons, the good 

cause exception in 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) 

also applies to EPA’s decision to make 

this action effectively immediately. 

Moreover, to the extent that extending 

the effective date of any of these rules 

would grant an exception or relieve a 

restriction, an exception also applies 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1).

1On December 17, 2024, EPA published a final rule under section 6(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2605(a)) to address the unreasonable risk of injury to health presented by trichloroethylene, with an effective date of January 16, 2025. Trichloroethylene 

(TCE); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 89 FR 102568 (Dec. 17, 2024). Thirteen petitions for review of that rule were 

filed in various Circuits of the United States Courts of Appeals. On January 13, 2025, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a petitioner’s motion to temporarily stay the rule’s effective date. The petitions were then consolidated by the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation and transferred to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. By an order dated January 16, 2025, the Third Circuit left the temporary stay of the effective date in 

place pending briefing on whether the temporary stay of the effective date should remain in effect. Because of the decisions of the Fifth and 

Third Circuits, the rule never went into effect and is therefore also covered by the terms of the Regulatory Freeze Pending Review memorandum. 

Accordingly, the Agency includes this rule in this action. 

Where appropriate, the Agency may 

consider further delaying the effective 

dates of the above-referenced 

regulations beyond March 21, 2025. If 

the Agency were to do so, consistent 

with the memorandum of the President, 

the Agency would consider whether to 

propose any later effective date for 

public comment.

LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION 

45 CFR Part 1611 

Income Level for Individuals Eligible 

for Assistance 

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Legal Services 

Corporation (LSC) is required by law to 

establish maximum income levels for 

individuals eligible for legal assistance. 

This document updates the specified 

income levels to reflect the annual 

amendments to the Federal Poverty 

Guidelines issued by the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

DATES: Effective January 28, 2025. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stefanie K. Davis, Deputy General 

Counsel and Ethics Officer, Legal 

Services Corporation, 1825 I St. NW, 

Washington, DC 20006; (202) 295–1563; 

sdavis@lsc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1007(a)(2) of the Legal Services 

Corporation Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 

2996f(a)(2), requires LSC to establish 

maximum income levels for individuals 

eligible for legal assistance. Section 

1611.3(c) of LSC’s regulations 

establishes a maximum income level 

equivalent to 125% of the Federal 

Poverty Guidelines (Guidelines), which 

HHS is responsible for updating and 

issuing. 45 CFR 1611.3(c). 

Each year, LSC updates appendix A to 

45 CFR part 1611 to provide client 

income eligibility standards based on 

the most recent Guidelines. The figures 

for 2025, set out below, are equivalent 

to 125% of the Guidelines published by 

HHS on January 17, 2025. 

In addition, LSC is publishing a chart 

listing income levels that are 200% of 

the Guidelines. This chart is for 

reference purposes only as an aid to 

recipients in assessing the financial 

eligibility of an applicant whose income 

is greater than 125% of the applicable 

Guidelines amount, but less than 200% 

of the applicable Guidelines amount 

(and who may be found to be financially 

eligible under duly adopted exceptions 

to the annual income ceiling in 

accordance with 45 CFR 1611.3, 1611.4, 

and 1611.5). 

Except where there are minor 

variances due to rounding, the amount 

by which the guideline increases for 

each additional member of the 

household is a consistent amount. 

List of Subjects in 45 CFR Part 1611 

Grant programs—law, Legal services. 

For reasons set forth in the preamble, 

the Legal Services Corporation amends 

45 CFR part 1611 as follows:
