Sec. 950.205  Appeals.

    (a) Organizations who apply and are denied eligibility for inclusion 
on the national list will be notified of the Director's decision by 
registered or certified mail of the U.S. Postal Service. Organizations 
may appeal the Director's decision by submitting a written request to 
reconsider the denial to the Director. This request must be received 
within 10 business days from the date of receipt of the Director's 
decision to deny eligibility and shall be limited to those facts 
justifying the reversal of the original decision. Requests for 
reconsideration may not be used to supplement applications that had 
missing or outdated documents, and any such documents submitted with the 
request for reconsideration will not be considered.
    (b) Applicants denied listing in the local brochure must first 
appeal in writing to the LFCC to reconsider its original decision. Such 
an appeal must be received by the LFCC within 7 business days from the 
date of receipt of the initial LFCC decision or 14 calendar days from 
the date the decision was mailed, whichever is earlier. The LFCC must 
consider all timely appeals and notify the appealing organization within 
a reasonable time period. Denial of the appeal by the LFCC must be sent 
via U.S. Postal Service certified or registered mail with a return 
receipt. Approval of local appeals may be sent via U.S. Postal Service 
regular first class mail or facsimile.
    (c) A local applicant which is unsuccessful in its appeal to the 
LFCC may appeal to the Director. All appeals must:
    (1) Be in writing;
    (2) Be received by the Director within 10 business days of the date 
of receipt

of the letter from the LFCC denying eligibility on appeal;

should be granted;
    (4) Include a copy of the letter from the LFCC disapproving the 
original application, a copy of the organization's appeal to the LFCC, 
and a copy of the letter from the LFCC denying the appeal.
    (d) If an organization fails to file a timely application or a 
timely appeal of an adverse eligibility determination in accordance with 
these regulations, such application or appeal to the Director will be 
dismissed as untimely.
    (e) Appeals to the Director may not be used to supplement original 
applications that had missing or outdated documents. Any such 
supplemental documents will not be considered. Such appeals shall be 
limited to those facts justifying the reversal of the original decision.
    (f) The Director's decision is final for administrative purposes.
