Sec. 729.313  Failure to comply with program.

    Any person who has failed to comply with the provisions in this part 
because such person was misinformed or relied on the advice of an 
authorized representative of the Secretary in rendering performance 
under this part, and such person believed in good faith that such 
misinformation or advice met the requirements of the program as set 
forth in these regulations, may file a request with the State committee 
for review of an adverse county committee ruling with respect to such 
failure to comply. After review of the case, the State committee shall 
submit the case to the Deputy Administrator with its recommendation. The 
Deputy Administrator may grant relief as deemed appropriate in such 
case. This authority, however, does not extend to cases where such 
person knew or had sufficient reason to know that the action or advice 
of the representative of the Secretary upon which the person relied was 
improper or erroneous, or where the adverse action is based on changes 
made in the statutory authority of the program or changes in regulations 
issued for the program.
