Sec.  1.501-3  Exceptions.

    (a) Comments need not be solicited when the proposed coverage does 
not constitute a significant revision.
    (b) Advance comments need not be solicited when urgent and 
compelling circumstances make solicitation of comments impracticable 
prior to the effective date of the coverage, such as when a new statute 
must be implemented in a relatively short period of time. In such case, 
the coverage shall be issued on a temporary basis and shall provide for 
at least a 30 day public comment period.
