Contents

 

Sec.  16.7  The first steps in the appeal process: The notice of appeal 

and the Board's response.



    (a) As explained in 45 CFR 74.304, a prospective appellant must 

submit a notice of appeal to the Board within 30 days after receiving 

the final decision. The notice of appeal must include a copy of the 

final decision, a statement of the amount in dispute in the appeal, and 

a brief statement of why the decision is wrong.

    (b) Within ten days after receiving the notice of appeal, the Board 

will send an acknowledgment, enclose a copy of these procedures, and 

advise the appellant of the next steps. The Board will also send a copy 

of the notice of appeal, its attachments, and the Board's acknowledgment 

to the respondent. If the Board Chair has determined that the appeal 

does not meet the conditions of Sec.  16.3 or if further information is 

needed to make this determination, the Board will notify the parties at 

this point.
