Sec. 106.25  Revising regulations without first issuing an ANPRM or NPRM.



    PHMSA may add, amend, or delete regulations without first issuing an 

ANPRM or NPRM in the following situations:

    (a) We may go directly to a final rule or interim final rule if, for 

good cause, we find that a notice of proposed rulemaking is 

impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. We must 

place that finding and a brief statement of the reasons for it in the 

final rule or interim final rule.

    (b) We may issue a direct final rule (see Sec. 106.40).
