Sec. 51.35  Disposition of inappropriate submissions.

    The Attorney General will make no response on the merits with 
respect to an inappropriate submission but will notify the submitting 
authority of the inappropriateness of the submission. Such notification 
will be made as promptly as possible and no later than the 60th day 
following receipt and will include an explanation of the 
inappropriateness of the submission. Inappropriate submissions include 
the submission of changes that do not affect voting (see, e.g., 
Sec. 51.13), the submission of standards, practices, or procedures that 
have not been changed (see, e.g., Secs. 51.4, 51.14), the submission of 
changes that affect voting but are not subject to the requirement of 
section 5 (see, e.g., Sec. 51.18), premature submissions (see 
Secs. 51.22, 51.61(b)), submissions by jurisdictions not subject to the 
preclearance requirement (see Secs. 51.4, 51.5), and deficient 
submissions (see Sec. 51.26(d)).
