Sec. 16.3  When these procedures become available.

    Before the Board will take an appeal, three circumstances must be 
present:
    (a) The dispute must arise under a program which uses the Board for 
dispute resolution, and must meet any special conditions established for 
that program. An explanation is contained in Appendix A.
    (b) The appellant must have received a final written decision, and 
must appeal that decision within 30 days after receiving it. Details of 
how final decisions are developed and issued, and what must be in them, 
are contained in 45 CFR 74.304.

    (c) The appellant must have exhausted any preliminary appeal process 
required by regulation. For example, see 42 CFR part 50 (subpart D) for 
Public Health Service programs. In such cases, the final written 
decision required for the Board's review is the decision resulting from 
the preliminary review or appeal process. Appendix A contains further 
details.
