collections and to insert the OMB approval number assigned in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended).

Justification for Final Rule

In general, the Department publishes a rule for public comment before issuing a rule for effect, in accordance with its own regulations on rulemaking at 24 CFR part 10. Part 10 does provide, however, for exceptions from that general rule where the agency finds good cause to omit advance notice and public participation. The good cause requirement is satisfied when prior public procedure is ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ (24 CFR 10.1)

In this case, the changes being made to the rule are technical in nature, conforming the rule to the OMB approval actions that have already taken place. Therefore, prior public procedure is unnecessary.
