Sec. 106.35  Interim final rule.



    An interim final rule is issued without first issuing a notice of 

proposed rulemaking and accepting public comments and sets out new 

regulatory requirements and their effective date. PHMSA may issue an 

interim final rule if it finds, for good cause, that notice and public 

procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. PHMSA will clearly set out this finding in the interim final 

rule. After receiving and reviewing public comments, as well as any 

other relevant documents, PHMSA may revise the interim final rule and 

then issue a final rule.
