# 1.501-3 Exceptions.

1. (a) Comments need not be solicited when the proposed coverage does not constitute a significant revision.

2. (b) Advance comments need not be solicited when urgent and compelling circumstances make solicitation of comments impracticable prior to the effective date of the coverage, such as when a new statute must be implemented in a relatively short period of time. In such case, the coverage shall be issued on a temporary basis and shall provide for at least a 30 day public comment period.
