Sec.  7.36  Permit reviews and disputes.

    (a) Any affected person disputing the decision of a Federal land 
manager with respect to the issuance or denial of a permit, the 
inclusion of specific terms and conditions in a permit, or the 
modification, suspension, or revocation of a permit may request the 
Federal land manager to review the disputed decision and may request a 
conference to discuss the decision and its basis.
    (b) The disputant, if unsatisfied with the outcome of the review or 
conference, may request that the decision be reviewed by the head of the 
bureau involved.
    (c) Any disputant unsatisfied with the higher level review, and 
desiring to appeal the decision, pursuant to Sec.  7.11 of this part, 
should consult with the appropriate Federal land manager regarding the 
existence of published bureau appeal procedures. In the absence of 
published bureau appeal procedures, the review by the head of the bureau 
involved will constitute the final decision.
    (d) Any affected person may request a review by the Departmental 
Consulting Archeologist of any professional issues involved in a bureau 
permitting decision, such as professional qualifications, research 
design, or other professional archaeological matters. The Departmental 
Consulting Archeologist shall make a final professional recommendation 
to the head of the bureau involved. The head of the bureau involved will 
consider the recommendation, but may reject it, in whole or in part, for 
good cause. This request should be in writing, and should state the 
reasons for the request. See Sec.  7.33(f) for the address of the 
Departmental Consulting Archeologist.
