Timing and Feedback

The current documents took effect on July 1, 2024. Planned notice is November 9, 2026; objections close November 23, 2026, 23:59; planned commencement is November 24, 2026, 00:00, all KST (UTC+9). This preserves both the current minimum seven-day notice and 14-day objection period: exclude the notice date, allow 14 full days, then commence the next day. Late actual notice requires rescheduling while preserving the current notice and objection periods. Publication of this comparison alone neither commences the amendment nor authorizes new processing.
