This temporary delay will allow the Department an opportunity for further consideration of this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To the extent that 5 U.S.C. 553 applies, the Department's implementation of this rule effective upon publication in the Federal Register is based upon the ``good cause'' exception. This temporary delay in effective date will give Department officials the opportunity for further review and consideration of the earlier rule, consistent with the Memorandum of January 20, 2001, published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2001.
