- (d) **Statute of limitation—** No petition may be filed under this section challenging an order, ruling, determination, or other action of a Federal regulator or [State](/usc/15/15g.md?p=2) insurance regulator after the later of—
  - (1) the end of the 12-month period beginning on the date on which the first public notice is made of such order, ruling, determination or other action in its final form; or
  - (2) the end of the 6-month period beginning on the date on which such order, ruling, determination, or other action takes effect.
- (e) **Standard of review—** The court shall decide a petition filed under this section based on its review on the merits of all questions presented under [State](/usc/15/15g.md?p=2) and Federal law, including the nature of the product or activity and the history and purpose of its regulation under [State](/usc/15/15g.md?p=2) and Federal law, without unequal deference.
