PART 3a_ACCEPTANCE OF EMPLOYMENT FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS BY MEMBERS OF THE 
 
Sec.  3a.7  Notification of disapproval and reconsideration.

    (a) The Director, Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, will notify 
the applicant directly when an applicant's proposed foreign employment 
is disapproved, and will inform the Secretary concerned.
    (b) Each notification of disapproval under this section must include 
a statement of the reasons for the disapproval, with as much specificity 
as security and foreign policy considerations permit, together with a 
notice of the applicant's right to seek reconsideration of the 
disapproval under paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) Within 60 days after receipt of the notice of disapproval, an 
applicant whose request has been disapproved may submit a request for 
reconsideration by the Director, Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs. A 
request for reconsideration should provide information relevant to the 
reasons set forth in the notice of disapproval.
    (d) The disapproval of a request by the Director, Bureau of 
Politico-Military Affairs, will be final, unless a timely request for 
reconsideration is received. In the event of a request for 
reconsideration, the Director, Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, will 
make a final decision after reviewing the record of the request. A final 
decision after reconsideration to approve the applicant's proposed 
employment with a foreign government will be communicated to the 
Secretary concerned as provided in Sec.  3a.6. A final decision after 
reconsideration to disapprove the applicant's proposed employment with a 
foreign government will be communicated directly to the applicant as 
provided in paragraph (a) of this section and the Secretary concerned 
will be informed. The Director's authority to make a final decision 
after reconsideration may not be redelegated.
