Sec.  14.335  Departmental review.



    (a) Either the applicant or agency counsel may seek review of the 

initial decision on the fee application, or the Secretary (or his or her 

delegate, if any) may decide to review the decision on his or her own 

initiative, in accordance with the Department's review or appeals 

procedures applicable to the underlying proceeding. If neither the 

applicant nor agency counsel seeks review and the Secretary (or his or 

her delegate, if any) does not take review on his or her own initiative, 

the initial decision on the application shall become a final decision of 

the Department in the same manner as a decision in the underlying 

proceeding becomes final. Whether to review a decision is a matter 

within the discretion of the Secretary (or his or her delegate, if any). 

If review is taken, the Department will issue a final decision on the 

application or remand the application to the adjudicative officer for 

further proceedings.

    (b) Either party may seek reconsideration of the decision on the fee 

application in accordance with Rule 29, 24 CFR 20.10.
