Interim Final Rule – Regulatory

Definition

An Interim Final Rule is a regulatory mechanism allowing agencies to implement rules before completing standard notice-and-comment procedures, typically citing good cause for immediate implementation. IFR-R provisions may affect contractor compliance requirements before permanent rules are finalized.

IFR-R issuance can create rapid compliance obligations for contractors. Understanding IFR-R implications helps contractors adapt quickly to regulatory changes. IFR-R provisions are subject to modification based on subsequent public comments before final rule issuance.
