regulations. Where such an extension is 

made for this purpose, you should 

immediately reopen the notice-andcomment period for 30 days to allow 

interested parties to provide comments 

about issues of law and policy raised by 

those rules. Following the 60-day 

extension: 

a. For those rules that raise no 

substantial questions of law or policy, 

no further action needs to be taken; and 

b. For those rules that raise 

substantial questions of law or policy, 

agencies should notify the OMB 

Director and take appropriate further 

action. 

4. The requested actions set forth in 

paragraphs 1–3 do not apply to any 

regulations subject to statutory or 

judicial deadlines. Please immediately 

notify the OMB Director of any such 

regulations. 

5. Notify the OMB Director promptly 

of any regulations that you believe 

should not be subject to the directives 

in paragraphs 1–3 because they affect 

critical health, safety, environmental, 

financial, or national security functions 

of the department or agency, or for some 

other reason. The OMB Director will 

review all such notifications and 

determine whether an exception is 

appropriate. 

6. Continue in all instances to comply 

with any applicable Executive Orders 

concerning regulatory management. 

As used in this memorandum, 

‘‘regulation’’ has the meaning set forth 

in section 3(e) of Executive Order 12866 

of September 30, 1993, as amended; this 

memorandum covers ‘‘any substantive 

action by an agency (normally 

published in the Federal Register) that 

promulgates or is expected to lead to the 

promulgation of a final rule or 

regulation, including notices of inquiry, 

advance notices of proposed 

rulemaking, and notices of proposed 

rulemaking.’’ 

This regulatory review will be 

implemented by the OMB Director, and 

communications regarding any matters 

pertaining to this review should be 

addressed to that official. 

The OMB Director is authorized and 

directed to publish this memorandum in 

the Federal Register.
