A no-action relief period is a designated timeframe during which a regulatory authority indicates it will not pursue enforcement actions against entities for specific activities, even if those activities might technically fall under existing regulations. This period often grants businesses temporary reprieve to comply with new rules or to operate under a specific interpretation of current law. It serves as a transitional measure, providing certainty while a more permanent regulatory framework is developed. Such periods aim to foster innovation without immediate punitive measures.
