Code of Federal Regulations Title 49. Transportation § 49.29.908 May a Tribe request an extension of time to file an administrative appeal?

If a Tribe needs additional time, it may request an extension of time to file an appeal of a pre-award decision. Within 30 days of receiving a decision, a Tribe must request the extension from the Office of the General Counsel, which has the discretion to grant the extension, and notify the Self–Governance Official of the request. The request must be in writing and give a reason for not filing its administrative appeal within the 30–day period. The Department may accept an appeal after the 30–day period for good cause.
