The Office of Hearings and Appeals within the Department of the Interior has announced the delay of an interim final rule's effective date. Originally set to take effect on February 10, 2025, it will now be effective on March 21, 2025. This decision aligns with a directive from President Trump's memo titled "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review," which advises delaying rules to allow further review. The delay was implemented without public comment due to exemptions allowing immediate action when feedback is impractical or contrary to public interest.

The Administrative Conference of the United States has adopted three key recommendations. The first focuses on the use of algorithmic tools in regulatory enforcement, offering guidance on balancing efficiency with ethical concerns. The second recommendation emphasizes enhancing public engagement in agency rulemaking, especially when the usual notice-and-comment procedures are bypassed. The third recommendation suggests expanding nonlawyer assistance and representation in agency adjudications to ensure fair access for all individuals involved in legal and administrative processes.
