Sec. 755.8  Reconsideration and appeal.

    (a) Reconsideration. The OEGCM may, upon a receipt of a request for 
reconsideration by either the claimant or a member who has been assessed 
pecuniary liability, reopen the investigation or take any other action 
he believes is necessary in the interests of justice. If the OEGCM 
contemplates acting favorably on the request, he will provide all 
individuals interested in the claim with notice and an opportunity to 
respond. The basis for any change will be noted in the OEGCM's decision.
    (b) Appeal. In claims involving $5,000.00 or less, a claimant or 
member who has been assessed pecuniary liability may appeal the decision 
to the OEGCM. An appeal must be submitted within 5 days of the receipt 
of the OEGCM's decision. Appeals will be forwarded, via the OEGCM, to 
the Judge Advocate General for review and final action. In the event of 
an appeal, the imposition of the OEGCM's decision will be held in 
abeyance pending the final action by JAG. If it appears that good cause 
exists that would make it impracticable for an appeal to be submitted 
within 5 days, the OEGCM may, in his discretion, grant an extension of 
time, as appropriate. His decision on extensions is final and 
nonappealable.
