Sec. 310.45  How may a Tribe or Tribal organization request a 
reconsideration of a disapproval action?

    (a) A Tribe or Tribal organization may request reconsideration of 
disapproval of a Tribal CSE application or amendment by filing a written 
Request for Reconsideration to the Secretary or designee within 60 days 
of the date of the Notice of Disapproval.
    (b) The Request for Reconsideration must include:
    (1) All documentation that the Tribe or Tribal organization believes 
is relevant and supportive of its application or plan amendment; and
    (2) A written response to each ground for disapproval identified in 
the Notice of Disapproval, indicating why the Tribe or Tribal 
organization believes its application or plan amendment conforms to the 
requirements for approval specified at Sec. 310.65 and subpart C of 
this part.
    (c) After receiving a Request for Reconsideration, the Secretary or 
designee will hold a conference call or, at the Department's discretion, 
a meeting with the Tribe or Tribal organization as part of the 
reconsideration, to discuss the reasons for the Department's disapproval 
of the application or plan amendment, and the Tribe or Tribal 
organization's response. Within 30 days after receipt of a Request for 
Reconsideration, the Secretary or designee will notify the Tribe or 
Tribal organization of the date and time the conference call or meeting 
will be held.
    (d) A conference call or meeting under Sec. 310.45(c) shall be held 
not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date the notice of 
such call or meeting is furnished to the Tribe or Tribal organization, 
unless the Tribe or Tribal organization agrees in writing to another 
time.
    (e) The Secretary or designee will make a written determination 
affirming, modifying, or reversing disapproval of a Tribal CSE program 
application or plan amendment within 60 days after the conference call 
or meeting is held. This determination upon reconsideration shall be the 
final decision of the Secretary.
