**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
On January 17, 2025, the FAA issued a final rule titled “Aircraft Registration and Recordation Procedural Updates: Original Documents and Stamping” that was published in the *Federal Register* at 90 FR 5572. The final rule updated certain procedural regulations relating to civil aircraft registration and recordation to provide administrative relief from the requirements for submitting original documents and to sunset the FAA's practice of stamping documents. The final rule became effective on January 17, 2025.
On January 20, 2025, the President issued a memorandum titled “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,” 90 FR 8249 (Jan. 28, 2025), to direct executive departments and agencies to consider postposing for 60 days the effective date for any rules that had been published in the *Federal Register* but had not taken effect for the purpose of reviewing any questions of fact, law, and policy that the rules may raise. While not explicitly subject to the President's memorandum, the FAA is providing notice that it will exercise its enforcement discretion and not enforce the provisions of the FAA's final rule titled “Aircraft Registration and Recordation Procedural Updates: Original Documents and Stamping” until March 20, 2025, to allow the officials appointed or designated by the President to review the final rule to ensure that it is consistent with the law and Administration policies.
Issued in Washington, DC.
