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

    (a) Unless otherwise specified by law or Commission rule (e.g. 
Secs. 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 Sec. 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 Sec. 1.4(b) of these rules.
