days after the Advisory Committee meeting; and

    (3) Provide the other party with a copy of the appeal at the same 

time it submits the appeal to the Secretary.

    (b) The non-appealing party may file a written response to the 

appeal. If that party wishes to do so, it must--

    (1) Submit its response to the Secretary no later than 30 days after 

receiving its copy of the appeal; and
