P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 2132
If, upon examination, the Secretary reaches the conclusion that a specific regulation does not comply with the provisions of this title or with the regulations approved by him pursuant to § 2129 of this title, the Secretary may then:
(a) Return it to the originating agency with a list of his objections so that it may be corrected and drafted according to law, indicating to the agency whether the corrections constitute an amendment of the regulations for purposes of §§ 2121 et seq. of this title.
(b) Make as many corrections or amendments as are needed for the regulations to merit the approval of the Secretary.
In either case, the regulations shall not be deemed as filed for the purposes of this chapter until the originating agency has made the indicated changes and the Secretary has approved the new text or said agency has indicated its approval of the amendments made by the Secretary.
