What is the duration of the protest period?

The duration of the protest period, set at 24 hours, is standardized to provide a timely yet adequate timeframe for parties involved to raise objections or challenges concerning certain compliance issues. This period allows stakeholders to review decisions thoroughly and gather the necessary information to formulate their protests. A 24-hour window strikes a balance between efficiency and the opportunity for meaningful participation, ensuring that concerns can be addressed without unduly delaying processes or operations. This timeframe is commonly applied in various regulatory contexts to maintain orderly conduct and promote fair practices.
