This part tells the Attorney General to write rules for the law. They have six months to do it. The first rules can take effect at once. People can then comment and ask for a hearing. A final set of rules comes after that.

Each thing the section requires: the six month deadline for rules, the choice to issue them as interim final rules, the immediate effect of such a rule without a showing of good cause, the opportunity to comment and to request a hearing, and the final rule that follows.
Nothing in the section is left out. Both subsections and all four paragraphs are recorded.
The section refers to section 553 of title 5, United States Code, which is not indexed here, so nothing recorded says what the procedure it sets aside or follows requires.
