Sec. 51.14  Recurrent practices.

    Where a jurisdiction implements a practice or procedure periodically 
or upon certain established contingencies, a change occurs:
    (a) The first time such a practice or procedure is implemented by 
the jurisdiction,
    (b) When the manner in which such a practice or procedure is 
implemented by the jurisdiction is changed, or

[[Page 84]]

    (c) When the rules for determining when such a practice or procedure 
will be implemented are changed.

The failure of the Attorney General to object to a recurrent practice or 
procedure constitutes preclearance of the future use of the practice or 
procedure if its recurrent nature is clearly stated or described in the 
submission or is expressly recognized in the final response of the 
Attorney General on the merits of the submission.
