**AGENCY:**
Office of Labor-Management Standards, Employment Standards Administration, Labor.
**ACTION:**
Notice; further deferral of enforcement action.
**SUMMARY:**
Consistent with the memorandum of January 20, 2001, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled “Regulatory Review Plan,” published in the *Federal Register* on January 24, 2001 (66 FR 7702), this action temporarily delays for 60 days the date on which the Office of Labor-Management Standards will begin to enforce the interpretation set forth in a notice published in the *Federal Register* on January 11, 2001 (66 FR 2782). The temporary 60-day delay is necessary to give Department officials the opportunity for further review and consideration of this matter.

The interpretation of the “advice” exemption in Section 203(c) of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended, published in the *Federal Register* on January 11, 2001 was to have commenced on February 10, 2001. It shall instead commence on April 11, 2001.
