We received the rule on July 2, 2001. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on June 15, 2001. 66 Fed. Reg. 32666. The final rule provides guidance on the administration of a Supplemental Property Acquisition and Elevation Assistance program. Funds are available under the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Pub. L. 106-113), which provides up to $215 million for the acquisition of properties affected by Hurricane Floyd or surrounding events, and under Public Law 106-246, which provides $50 million for the acquisition or elevation of properties made uninhabitable by floods in areas that have had a major disaster declaration in federal fiscal years 1999 or 2000. The final rule has an announced effective date of August 14, 2001. The Congressional Review Act requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from the date of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is later. 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(3)(A). Since it was not received by Congress and our Office until July 2, 2001, the rule does not have the required 60-day delay in its effective date to allow for congressional review. GAO-01-942R
