the Federal Register (65 FR 70984 (Nov. 28, 2000)) with a January 29,

designates had an opportunity to review any new or pending regulations

    The Commission has reviewed Order No. 642, and determined not to 
delay its effective date. Order No. 642, therefore, will continue to be 
effective on January 29, 2001.
