United States Eleventh Circuit

Defendant's conviction for having traveled in interstate commerce and knowingly failing to register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act is affirmed where, contrary to defendant's claim that the Attorney General did not have good cause to promulgate a rule making SORNA retroactive without notice and comment as required by the Administrative Procedure Act, the public safety argument advanced by the AG provided such good cause.
