110: Application may be made before designation regulations fully in force

You could also call this:

"You can ask to be approved before all the rules are ready"

You can ask to be approved for something even before all the rules about it are officially working. This is called applying for accreditation. When the people in charge look at your request, they will pretend that all the rules are already working, even if some of them aren't yet. This helps them decide if they should approve you or not.
