Sec. 51.42  Failure of the Attorney General to respond.

    It is the practice and intention of the Attorney General to respond 
to each submission within the 60-day period. However, the failure of the 
Attorney General to make a written response within the 60-day period 
constitutes preclearance of the submitted change, provided the 
submission is addressed as specified in Sec. 51.24 and is appropriate 
for a response on the merits as described in Sec. 51.35.
