Sec.  305.21  Amendment of request for a hearing; withdrawal.

    (a) Amendment of Request for a Hearing. The Requestor may amend the 
Request for a Hearing once as a matter of right at any time before the 
answer is filed. Otherwise the Requestor may amend the Request for a 
Hearing only upon motion granted by the Presiding Officer. The Claims 
Official shall have 10 additional days from the date of service of the 
amended claim to file his answer.
    (b) Withdrawal of Request for a Hearing. The Requestor may withdraw 
the Request for a Hearing, or any part thereof, without prejudice one 
time before the answer has been filed. After one withdrawal without 
prejudice before the filing of an answer, or after the filing of an 
answer, the Requestor may withdraw the Request for a Hearing, or any 
part thereof, without prejudice, only upon motion granted by the 
Presiding Officer. In no case may a Request for a Hearing be filed more 
than 30 days after the Requestor has received notice that the Claims 
Official has declined to pay all or part of a claim.
