Sec. 1532.765  How may I appeal my EPA suspension?


    (a) If the EPA suspending official issues a decision under 2 CFR 
180.755 to continue your suspension after you present information in 
opposition to that suspension under 2 CFR 180.720, you can ask for 
review of the suspending official's decision in two ways:
    (1) You may ask the suspending 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 suspending official's decision to continue 
your suspension within 30 days of your receipt of the suspending 
official's decision under 2 CFR 180.755 or paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section. However, the OGD Director can reverse the suspending official's 
decision only where the OGD Director finds that the decision is based on 
a clear error of material fact or law, or where the OGD Director finds 
that the suspending official's decision was arbitrary, capricious, or an 
abuse of discretion.
    (b) A request for review under this section must be in writing; 
state the specific findings you believe to be in error; and include the 
reasons or legal bases for your position.
    (c) A review under paragraph (a)(2) of this section is solely within 
the discretion of the OGD Director who may also stay the suspension 
pending review of the suspending official's decision.
    (d) The EPA suspending official and the OGD Director must notify you 
of their decisions under this section, in writing, using the notice 
procedures at 2 CFR 180.615 and 180.975.
