In lieu of an administrative hearing before an Administrative Law
Judge under the above procedures, an applicant or certificate holder who
does not
dispute the factual findings of the Administrator may, within 30 days of
the date of issuance of the notice of denial, revocation, or assessment
(or within 20 days in the case of a notice of emergency revocation)
petition the Administrator instead to reconsider the denial or
revocation of the certificate or the assessment of civil money
penalties. An applicant or certificate holder electing this informal
procedure may appear before the Administrator in person, make a written
submission to the Administrator, or both. Such reconsideration by the
Administrator shall be available only upon waiver by the applicant or
certificate holder of the formal hearing procedures provided by the
above regulations.
