    (a) Contents. Following closure of the record, the Judge will issue 
a decision containing findings of fact and conclusions of law, reasons

or which have been abandoned or become moot.

    (1) Each party, or, if represented by counsel, on its counsel; and
    (2) SBA's General Counsel, or his or her designee, if SBA is not a 
party.
    (d) Reconsideration. The decision in a NAICS code appeal may not be 
reconsidered.
