Question

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT regarding the effective date of Regulations?

a. A Regulation becomes effective 18 months after the statute on which it is based was enacted.
b. A Regulation is effective on the date on which the Regulation is filed with the Federal Register.
c. Temporary regulations are effective immediately upon publication.
d. All of the above statements are correct.

Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the effective date of Regulations is option b, which states that a Regulation is effective on the date on which the Regulation is filed with the Federal Register. Temporary regulations are indeed effective immediately upon publication. Therefore, option d is incorrect. The correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement regarding the effective date of Regulations is b. A Regulation is effective on the date on which the Regulation is filed with the Federal Register.

A regulation becomes effective on the date it is filed with the Federal Register, not based on the date the statute on which it is based was enacted.

Temporary regulations, indicated by the statement in option c, are indeed effective immediately upon publication. Option d is incorrect because only option b is correct, making not all statements correct. The correct option is b.
