(2) Upon his or her request, additional information is not submitted by the applicant; or
(3) The applicant fails to provide the notice required by this subpart.
(c) Except as provided in this subpart, the Administrator will only consider an application for a waiver of preemption determination if:

(2) The highway routing designation of the State, political subdivision thereof, or Indian tribe has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or in a determination issued pursuant to § 397.211 to be preempted by the Act or the regulations issued thereunder.
