This section provides the procedures used to reconsider a final denial.
(a)An FCC has the inherent authority to reconsider a final decision. The mere fact that a request for reconsideration is received does not obligate the settlement authority to reopen the claim.
(b)The FCC does not mention a reconsideration right in the original denial letter.
(c)A settlement authority must reconsider the final action when there is:
(1)New and material evidence concerning the claim; or
(2)Obvious errors in the original decision.
(d)The FCC must document in the claim file the reason for reconsideration.
(e)A FCC above the original settlement authority may direct a claim be forwarded to a higher FCC for reconsideration. \[81 FR 83694, Nov. 22, 2016\]
