## Abstract

On October 26, 2020, the Department of the Interior (Department) published an interim final rule implementing an Executive order (E.O.), entitled "Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents." The E.O. defined guidance documents and required Federal agencies to finalize regulations or amend existing regulations to establish processes and procedures for issuing guidance documents, among other actions. In accordance with the E.O. entitled, "Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation" issued by President Biden on January 20, 2021, this final rule rescinds the Department's interim final rule.
