This section extends certain deadlines when a rule loses effect because Congress enacted a joint resolution disapproving it. It defines “deadline” for this purpose.
(a) If a deadline concerns a rule* that does not take effect, or whose effectiveness ends, because Congress enacted a joint resolution under section 802, the deadline is extended until 1 year after the joint resolution’s enactment. This does not affect a deadline merely because the rule’s effective date was postponed under section 801(a).
(b) “Deadline” means a specific date for meeting an obligation or exercising authority established by or under a Federal statute, regulation, or court order implementing one.
In the case of any deadline for, relating to, or involving any rule* which does not take effect (or the effectiveness of which is terminated) because of enactment of a joint resolution under section 802, that deadline is extended until the date 1 year after the date of enactment of the joint resolution. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect a deadline merely by reason of the postponement of a rule’s effective date under section 801(a).
The term “deadline” means any date certain for fulfilling any obligation or exercising any authority established by or under any Federal statute or regulation, or by or under any court order implementing any Federal statute or regulation.
