Advisory Committee meeting;
    (2) Submit its appeal in writing to the Secretary no later than 30 
days after the Advisory Committee meeting; and
    (3) Provide the other party with a copy of the appeal at the same 
time it submits the appeal to the Secretary.
    (b) The non-appealing party may file a written response to the 
appeal. If that party wishes to do so, it must--
    (1) Submit its response to the Secretary no later than 30 days after 
receiving its copy of the appeal; and
    (2) Provide the appealing party with a copy of its response at the 
same time it submits its response to the Secretary.
    (c) Neither the agency nor the senior Department official may
