43556 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 10, 2025 / Rules and Regulations 28See 5 U.S.C. 808(2) (if a Federal agency finds that notice and public comment are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, a rule shall take effect at such time as the Federal agency promulgating the rule determines). This rule also does not require analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act. See 5 U.S.C. 604(a) (requiring a final regulatory flexibility analysis only for rules required by the APA or other law to undergo notice and comment). Finally, this rule does not contain any collection of information requirements as defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (‘‘PRA’’). 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Accordingly, the PRA is not applicable. the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 808(2) are satisfied (notwithstanding the requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801),28 and the Commission finds that there is good cause for this extension to take effect on September 10, 2025. The Office of Management and Budget has determined that this action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866, as amended, and therefore it was not subject to Executive Order 12866 review. Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has designated the extension of the compliance dates not a ‘‘major rule,’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). IV. Conclusion The Commission extends by twelve months the compliance dates for certain of the rule amendments in the Adopting Release as specified above. By the Commission. Dated: September 8, 2025.
