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).
