[37 FR 23608, Nov. 4, 1972, as amended at 54 FR 9680, Mar. 7, 1989]
An agency may request emergency filing for public inspection for documents to be published under the regular, emergency or deferred publication schedules. Emergency filing for public inspection provides for the fastest possible public access to a document after it has been received, processed and assigned a publication date. Emergency filing for public inspection is considered a special arrangement under § 17.2 of this part that results in deviation from the regular schedule for filing for public inspection. A document receiving emergency filing for public inspection remains on public inspection until it is published according to the schedule for publication.
[54 FR 9680, Mar. 7, 1989]

(b) The Director of the Federal Register shall approve an emergency filing for public inspection request whenever the Director concurs with a request for that action and it is feasible.
(c) Each document approved for emergency filing for public inspection shall be filed as soon as possible following processing and scheduling.
