The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which is part of the White House, must clear all proposed regulations before they are published in the Federal Register. This item just appeared on the OMB webite:

The proposed new mental impairment listings were cleared by OMB on July 9, but has still not appeared in the Federal Register. I do not know the reason for the delay, but it seems unusual, so my best guess is that it has significance.
