of Certain Indian Tribal Employers (81 FR 95397), with an effective

Agencies, titled Regulatory Freeze Pending Review (82 FR 8346, Jan. 24, 
2017), from Reince Priebus, Assistant to the President and Chief of 
Staff. Pursuant to the memorandum, an agency was required to 
temporarily postpone, to a date 60 days from the date of the 
memorandum, the effective date of any rule, not excluded from the scope 
of the memorandum or otherwise excepted, that had been published in the 
Federal Register but had not yet taken effect. The rule referenced 
above, Access to Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) for Employees 
of Certain Indian Tribal Employers, falls within the scope of the
