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.
