How can one find out when all of the proposed rule changes actually take effect?  I form 1 an sbr, got the approval with the condition to add id marks.  This is a proposed change to eliminate this requirement, am holding off doing it in hopes of not needing to do it.

When they are published in the Federal Register as a Final Rule.

There is no standard timeframe for this to happen, so we'll all know basically once they get published and are then in effect.

Do approved rules take effect immediately when they are published, or do they have an implementation date in the future?  Or does it depend on the nature of the change?

It can be anything really.  If you go through the register you'll see some that go into effect on the day they're published, some that go into effect a month after publishing, some 3 months after publishing, etc.  The effective date will be listed on the published final rule.
