If a covered rule is terminated pursuant to this title— this title shall not be construed to prevent the President or an agency from exercising any authority that otherwise exists to implement the statute under which the rule was issued; in an agency proceeding or court action between an agency and a non-agency party, the rule shall be given no conclusive legal effect but may be submitted as evidence of prior agency practice and procedure; and this title shall not be construed to prevent the continuation or institution of any enforcement action that is based on a violation of the rule that occurred before the effectiveness of the rule terminated.
Notwithstanding subsection (a), any deadline for, relating to, or involving any action dependent upon, any rule terminated under this title is suspended until the agency that issued the rule issues a new rule on the same matter, unless otherwise provided by a law. In this subsection, the term deadline means any date certain for fulfilling any obligation or exercising any authority established by or under any Federal rule, or by or under any court order implementing any Federal rule.
