A notice of a hearing or opportunity to be heard is generally treated as given to people in the States and the District of Columbia when it is published in the Federal Register on time. The required period is the statutory period or, if none is specified, at least 15 days, although a shorter reasonable period can still be effective.

A notice of a hearing or opportunity to be heard that a law of Congress requires or authorizes, or that may otherwise properly be given, is treated as given to all people living in the States and the District of Columbia when the notice is published in the Federal Register so that the time between publication and the hearing date or the end of the opportunity to be heard is: (1) at least the period that the applicable Act of Congress specifically requires for publishing the notice; or (2) if the Act does not specify a publication period, at least 15 days. However, a notice published less than 15 days beforehand may still be effective if the shorter period is reasonable. This rule does not apply when publication is legally insufficient notice.

A notice of hearing or of opportunity to be heard, required or authorized to be given by an Act of Congress, or which may otherwise properly be given, shall be deemed to have been given to all persons residing within the States of the Union and the District of Columbia, except in cases where notice by publication is insufficient in law, when the notice is published in the Federal Register at such a time that the period between the publication and the date fixed in the notice for the hearing or for the termination of the opportunity to be heard is—

(1)

not less than the time specifically prescribed for the publication of the notice by the appropriate Act of Congress; or

(2)

not less than fifteen days when time for publication is not specifically prescribed by the Act, without prejudice, however, to the effectiveness of a notice of less than fifteen days where the shorter period is reasonable.
