"The delay gives officials another month to address the widespread
criticism that greeted a draft of the regulations when they were
released just before Thanksgiving. Critics said the draft fell far

data-scrambling products used to keep computer data and online
communications like e-mail private."

that the government successfully requested a delay in the appeal to
the full 9th Circuit (to mid-March as I recall) as the new regulations
would affect the appeal process.
