# §270.160. When does my RAP become effective?


Your RAP becomes effective 30 days after the Director notifies you and all commenters that your RAP is approved unless:

- (a) The Director specifies a later effective date in his decision;
- (b) You or another person has appealed your RAP under [§ 270.155](/cfr/40/270.155.md) (if your RAP is appealed, and the request for review is granted under [§ 270.155](/cfr/40/270.155.md), conditions of your RAP are stayed according to [§ 124.16](/cfr/40/124.16.md) of this chapter); or
- (c) No commenters requested a change in the draft RAP, in which case the RAP becomes effective immediately when it is issued.
