Sec. 1532.1400  How may I appeal a decision denying my request for 

reinstatement?

    (a) If the EPA debarring official denies your request for 
reinstatement under the CAA or CWA, you can ask for review of the 
debarring official's decision in two ways:
    (1) You may ask the debarring official to reconsider the decision 
for material errors of fact or law that you believe will change the 
outcome of the matter; and/ or
    (2) You may request the Director, Office of Grants and Debarment 
(OGD Director), to review the debarring official's denial within 30 days 
of your receipt of the debarring official's decision under Sec. 
1532.1230 or paragraph (a)(1) of this section. However, the OGD Director 
can reverse the debarring official's decision denying reinstatement only 
where the OGD Director finds that there is a clear error of material 
fact or law, or where the OGD Director finds that the debarring 
official's decision was arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of 
discretion.
    (b) A request for review under this section must be in writing and 
state the specific findings you believe to be in error and include the 
reasons or legal bases for your position.
    (c) A review under this section is solely within the discretion of 
the OGD Director.
    (d) The OGD Director must notify you of his or her decision under 
this section, in writing, using the notice procedures at 2 CFR 180.615 
and 180.975.
