Sec.  354.15  Final decision.

    (a) APO Sanctions Board. Upon request of a party, the initial 
decision will be reviewed by the members of the APO Sanctions Board. The 
Board consists of the Under Secretary for International Trade, who shall 
serve as Chairperson, the Under Secretary for Economic Affairs, and the 
General Counsel.
    (b) Comments on initial decision. Within 30 days after issuance of 
the initial decision, a party may submit written comments to the APO 
Sanctions Board on the initial decision, which the Board will consider 
when reviewing the initial decision. The parties have no right to an 
oral presentation, although the Board may allow oral argument in its 
discretion.
    (c) Final decision by the APO Sanctions Board. Within 60 days but 
not sooner than 30 days after issuance of an initial decision, the APO 
Sanctions Board may issue a final decision which adopts the initial 
decision in its entirety; differs in whole or in part from the initial 
decision, including the imposition of lesser included sanctions; or 
remands the matter to the presiding official or Deputy Under Secretary 
for further consideration. The only sanctions that the Board can impose 
are those sanctions proposed in the charging letter or lesser included 
sanctions.
    (d) Contents of final decision. If the final decision of the APO 
Sanctions Board does not remand the matter and differs from the initial 
decision, it will state findings and conclusions which differ from the 
initial decision, if any, the basis for those findings and conclusions, 
and the sanctions which are to be imposed, to the extent they differ 
from the sanctions in the initial decision.
