Sec. 430.48  Request for reconsideration.

    (a) Any petitioner whose petition for a rule has been denied may 
request reconsideration within 30 days of denial. The request shall 
contain a statement of facts and reasons supporting reconsideration and 
shall be submitted in writing to the Secretary.
    (b) The denial of a petition will be reconsidered only where it is 
alleged and demonstrated that the denial was based on error in law or 
fact and that evidence of the error is found in the record of the 
proceedings.
    (c) If the Secretary fails to take action on the request for 
reconsideration within 30 days, the request is deemed denied, and the 
petitioner may seek such judicial review as may be appropriate and 
available.
    (d) A petitioner has not exhausted other administrative remedies 
until a request for reconsideration has been filed and acted upon or 
deemed denied.
