Sec. 143.8  Appeal of suspension or revocation.

    If the participant files a written appeal with the Assistant 
Commissioner, Information and Technology, within 10 days following the 
date of the written notice of action to suspend or revoke participation 
as provided in Secs. 143.6 and 143.7, the suspension or revocation of 
participation shall not take effect until the appeal is decided, except 
in those cases where the Director, Trade Compliance, or the Director, 
User Support Services Division, respectively, determines that 
participation was obtained through fraud or the misstatement of a 
material fact, or that continued participation would pose a potential 
risk of significant harm to the integrity and functioning of the system. 
The Customs officer who receives the appeal shall stamp the date of 
receipt of the appeal and the stamped date is the date of receipt for 
purposes of the appeal. The Assistant Commissioner shall inform the 
participant of the date of receipt and the date that a response is due 
under this paragraph. The Assistant Commissioner shall render his 
decision to the participant, in writing, stating his reasons therefor, 
by letter mailed within 30 working days following receipt of the appeal, 
unless this period is extended with due notification to the participant.
