§  1.103   Effective dates of Commission actions; finality of Commission
actions.

   (a) Unless otherwise specified by law or Commission rule (e.g.
   § § 1.102 and 1.427), the effective date of any Commission action shall
   be the date of public notice of such action as that latter date is
   defined in § 1.4(b) of these rules: Provided, That the Commission may,
   on its own motion or on motion by any party, designate an effective
   date that is either earlier or later in time than the date of public
   notice of such action. The designation of an earlier or later effective
   date shall have no effect on any pleading periods.

   (b) Notwithstanding any determinations made under paragraph (a) of this
   section, Commission action shall be deemed final, for purposes of
   seeking reconsideration at the Commission or judicial review, on the
   date of public notice as defined in § 1.4(b) of these rules.
