The categorical exclusion is a proposed rules change, as in a change in how an agency is going to implement legislation, not a legislative change. The proposal was posted in the CFR (combined Federal Register) on 1 July 2013. This means that there is a 90 day comment/discussion period before implementation of the rule.

Nothing has been delayed, it's just the way the process works.
