Take the following as truth: As was pointed out in our March 28, 1997, report, while the rule was published in the Federal Register on March 6, 1997, and was received in our Office and Congress on March 14, 1997, the rule stated that it was effective on April 1, 1997.
Then the following statement: "The rule did not become effective until nearly a month after its publication." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: True
