Sec.  216.7  Exemption of proposed Manual directives from normal procedures.

    When it is found for good cause that an exigency exists, an interim 
Manual directive that is determined to be of substantial public interest 
or expected controversy may be issued in advance of providing 
opportunity for public comment. However, as soon as practicable after 
issuance, the interim Manual directive will be made available for public 
review and comment as described in Sec.  216.6. In making the Manual 
directive available, the responsible official shall state why the 
interim directive was issued prior to obtaining public comments.
