published a DFR amending its regulations at 49 CFR part 192 to

that if no adverse comments were received, the DFR would become final 
and effective on January 1, 2026. PHMSA did not receive any comments 
that warranted withdrawal of the DFR; therefore, this rule will become 
effective as scheduled.

authority designated in 49 CFR 1.97.
