Sec. 142.34  Are there any limitations on the right to appeal to the Administrator?

    (a) A defendant has no right to appear personally, or through a 
representative, before the Administrator.
    (b) There is no right to appeal any interlocutory ruling.
    (c) The Administrator will not consider any objection or evidence 
that was not raised before the ALJ unless the defendant demonstrates 
that the failure to object was caused by extraordinary circumstances. If 
the appealing defendant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the 
Administrator that extraordinary circumstances prevented the 
presentation of evidence at the hearing, and that the additional 
evidence is material, the Administrator may remand the matter to the ALJ 
for consideration of the additional evidence.
