PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

After August 2, 2005, the President and other U.S. officials can issue proclamations and make rules needed to put into effect any part of this chapter or its amendments that begin on the day the Agreement enters into force. None of those proclamations or rules can have an effective date before the Agreement actually enters into force. A Presidential proclamation that is not subject to the consultation and waiting rules in section 4014 cannot take effect until at least the 15th day after it is published in the Federal Register, unless that 15-day wait would stop the action from taking effect on the Agreement’s start date; in that case the wait is waived. Initial regulations needed to carry out actions in this chapter or described in the statement of administrative action must, as much as possible, be issued within 1 year after the Agreement enters into force, or within 1 year after any later effective date for a specific action.
