written request for reconsideration. Such requests shall state the 
specific reasons for reconsideration that address directly the grounds 
upon which the denial was based. Requests must be addressed to the

denial.
    (b) The Chairperson shall make a determination with respect to any 
appeal within 20 days (excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public 
holidays) after receipt of the request for reconsideration. The person 
making such a request shall immediately be notified by mail of the 
determination.
    (c) If the initial denial is reversed by the Chairperson, any 
material with which the reversal is concerned shall be made available in 
accordance with Sec. 51-8.7(b).
    (d) If the denial is upheld, in whole or in part, the Chairperson 
shall include in the notification a statement of the requester's right 
of judicial review under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4), and the name and position 
of the person responsible for the denial.
