contains adequate justification, he/she initiates rule making action 
under this Subpart B.
    (c) Denials. If the Administrator determines that the petition does 
not justify rule making, he/she denies the petition.

petition should be granted or denied, the Office of the Chief Counsel 
prepares a notice of that grant or denial for issuance to the 
petitioner, and the Administrator issues it to the petitioner.
