Obama orders freeze on Bush rules

President Barack Obama has made one of his first acts of office a freeze on all pending regulations issued by the previous administration. The White House memo puts the decisions of former President George W. Bush on hold until they can be reviewed by Obama's staff. The order went out shortly after Obama was inaugurated as president. Such orders are common to US presidential transitions and are used to counter last minute rules introduced by outgoing presidents. Controversial late rules by the outgoing Bush administration include allowing concealed weapons to be carried in some national parks
The memo also orders the withdrawal of all final or proposed regulations not yet published by the Federal Register. Department and agency heads have also been asked to "consider extending for 60 days the effective date of regulations that have been published in the Federal Register but not yet taken effect" unless they impact health, safety, environmental, financial, or national security matters -- obviously now subject to the interpretation of Obama's appointees.

Mmmmm... the caveat at the end of this sentence seems to imply the opposite; that he WON'T meddle with the things falling into these specific categories.

"The memo also orders the withdrawal of all final or proposed regulations not yet published by the Federal Register. Department and agency heads have also been asked to "consider extending for 60 days the effective date of regulations that have been published in the Federal Register but not yet taken effect" unless they impact health, safety, environmental, financial, or national security matters."

As for the 30-day window for codification of the final rule, it still looks like we got this one in and it should NOT be considered pending or subject to his 60-day extension.

General Regulations for Areas Administered by the National Park

AGENCIES: Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service,

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rulemaking amends regulations codified in 36 CFR
part 2 and 50 CFR part 27, which pertain to the possession and
transportation of firearms in national park areas and national wildlife
refuges. The final rule updates these regulations to reflect state laws
authorizing the possession of concealed firearms, while leaving
unchanged the existing regulatory provisions that ensure visitor safety
and resource protection such as the prohibitions on poaching and
limitations on hunting and target practice.
