This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Department of State.
Final rule; delay of effective date.
The Department of State (the Department) is delaying the effective date of a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on March 28, 2023, to provide for a 60-day delay in the effective date after receipt of the final rule in the Congress.
The effective date of the rule amending 22 CFR part 22 published at 88 FR 18243, March 28, 2023, is delayed until June 17, 2023.
Johanna Cruz, Management Analyst, Office of the Comptroller, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of State; phone: 202-485-8915; email: fees@state.gov.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has informed the Department that the report prepared pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., was not delivered to the U.S. Senate until April 17, 2023 (the reports to the House of Representatives and GAO were delivered on March 29, 2023). Accordingly, the Department is correcting the final rule to provide for an effective date of June 17, 2023. See5 U.S.C. 801(a)(3).
