    (a) Unless the Administrator otherwise specifies, no public hearing,

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.

    (d) Notification. Whenever the Administrator determines that a 

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.
