Sec. 12.30  Judicial review after waiver of hearing on a regulation.

    (a) A person with a right to submit objections and a request for 
hearing under Sec. 12.20(d) may submit objections and waive the right to 
a hearing. The waiver may be either an explicit statement, or a failure 
to request a hearing, as provided in 12.22(a)(4).
    (b) If a person waives the right to a hearing, the Commissioner will 
rule upon the person's objections under Secs. 12.24 through 12.28. As a 
matter of discretion, the Commissioner may also order a hearing on the 
matter under any of the provisions of this part.
    (c) If the Commissioner rules adversely on a person's objection, the 
person may petition for judicial review in a U.S. Court of Appeals under 
the act.
    (1) The record for judicial review is the record designated in 
Sec. 12.28(b)(1).
    (2) The time for filing a petition for judicial review begins as of 
the date of publication of the Commissioner's ruling on the objections.
