Sec. 1648.4  Appointment for personal appearances.

    (a) Not less than 10 days (unless the registrant requests an earlier 
appointment) in advance of the meeting at which he may appear, the 
registrant shall be informed of the time and place of such meeting and 
that he may present evidence, including witnesses, bearing on his 
classification.
    (b) Should the registrant who has filed a claim for classification 
in Class 1-A-O or Class 1-O fail to appear at his scheduled personal 
appearance, the board will not consider his claim for classification in 
Class 1-A-O or Class 1-O. The board shall consider any written 
explanation of such failure that has been filed within 5 days (or 
extension thereof granted by the board) after such failure to appear. It 
the board determines that the registrant's failure to appear was for 
good cause it shall reschedule the registrant's personal appearance. If 
the board does not receive a timely written explanation of the 
registrant's failure to appear for his scheduled personal appearance or 
if the board determines that the registrant's failure to appear was not 
for good cause, the registrant will be deemed to have abandoned his 
claim for Class 1-A-O or 1-O and will be notified that his claim will 
not be considered. The board will notify the registrant in writing of 
its action under this paragraph.
    (c) Whenever a registrant who has filed a claim for a class other 
than Class 1-A-0 or Class 1-0 for whom a personal appearance has been 
scheduled, fails to appear in accord with such schedule, the board shall 
consider any written explanation of such failure that has been filed 
within 5 days (or extension thereof granted by the board) after such 
failure to appear. If the board determines that the registrant's failure 
to appear was for good cause it shall reschedule the registrant's 
personal appearance. If the board does not receive a timely written 
explanation of the registrant's failure to appear for his scheduled 
personal appearance or if

good cause, the registrant will be deemed to have abandoned his request

registrant in writing of its action under this paragraph.
