§ 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., §51.13), the submission of standards, practices, or procedures that have not been changed (see, e.g., §§51.4, 51.14), the submission of changes that affect voting but are not subject to the requirement of section 5 (see, e.g., §51.18), premature submissions (see §§51.22, 51.61(b)), submissions by jurisdictions not subject to the preclearance requirement (see §§51.4, 51.5), and deficient submissions (see §51.26(d)).
