  • Approval, registration, publication, source version/current-to, checking and commencement are distinct dates.
  • The opening365-day clause and90-day publication instruction are recorded separately; their legal interaction/counting rules and agency completion are not resolved. Date arithmetic is not a compliance deadline opinion.
