September 16,1948, to permit the prompt charging of in¬ creased fees to cover increased opera¬ tional expenses resulting from the recent Increase in Federal Government salaries and other cost increases. Delay in mak¬ ing such increases effective promptly would result in an increasing deficit in proportion to the length of delay. The public has heretofore been notified of the proposed revised regulations by way of the aforementioned notice which was published in the Federal Register on Au¬ gust 11. 1948. and no further time for preparation for coverage under these re¬ vised regulations is needed by interested parties. In these circumstances, it is im¬ practical, unnecessary and contrary to the public interest to delay the effective date of these revised regulations for thirty days after their publication in the Federal Register (see sec. 4 of the Ad¬ ministrative Procedure Act, 60 Stat. 237). Issued at Washington, D. C.. this 8th day .of September 1948, to become effec¬ tive on and after 12:01 a. m., e. d. s. t., September 16,1948. [SEAL] Dillard B.
