                     Subpart C_Rulemaking Procedures
 
Sec.  601.22  General.

    (a) Unless the Administrator, for good cause, finds a notice is 
impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, and 
incorporates such a finding and a brief statement of the reasons for it 
in the rule, a notice of proposed rulemaking must be issued, and 
interested persons are invited to participate in the rulemaking 
proceedings involving rules under an Act.
    (b) For rules for which the Administrator determines that notice is 
unnecessary because no adverse public comment is anticipated, the direct 
final rulemaking procedure described in Sec.  601.36 of this subpart may 
be followed.
