Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

  1. Filing always makes every rule immediately effective.
  2. Publication automatically deletes statutory waiting periods.
  3. Ten days always equals fifteen days.
  4. The default fifteen-day-from-filing effectivity requirement remains in addition to other applicable rule-making requirements.
  5. The agency may choose timing after imposing the sanction.
