the place of such emergency amendment. In the event a regulation was
originally adopted and filed as an emergency one and the adopting
agency fails to comply with the provisions of this Chapter in adopting the
regulation as a permanent one, such failure shall constitute a repeal
thereof upon the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) days, and after
notice to the adopting agency by the Legislative Secretary, shall be
deleted.

emergency regulation substantially equivalent thereto, shall not be
