Sec.  177.31  Reexamination of final determinations.



    A party-at-interest, other than the party-at-interest which 

requested and received the initial final determination, may ask Customs 

to consider the matter anew and issue, on an expedited basis, a new 

final determination. Such a request shall specifically identify the 

previous final determination. Upon receipt of such a request, Customs 

will issue a new final determination within five working days of receipt 

of the request unless (a) the previous final determination was the 

subject of a contested lawsuit timely filed in the Court of 

International Trade under 28 U.S.C. 1581(e) or, (b) the merchandise at 

issue in the initial final determination was tendered and deemed 

responsive to the request for proposals or an invitation for bids in a 

competitive procurement subject to the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a 

et seq.) and a contract under such procurement was let. Any new final 

determination issued under this section shall be published in accordance 

with Sec.  177.29 and is reviewable under Sec.  177.30.
