30X: Procedure for consideration of information

You could also call this:

“How to respond when you get a notice about a decision that might affect you”

If you get a notice about a decision that might negatively affect you, you need to know how to respond. It’s your job to make sure the Director gets all the information you want them to consider. You have to send this information within the time stated in the notice, or any extra time the Director gives you.

The Director might look at information you send after the deadline, but they don’t have to. They only have to look at late information if they asked for it and you sent it when they asked.

The Director must think about what you’ve sent on time or what they’ve asked for later. But they don’t have to listen to you talk about it in person.

Remember, the Director is the person making the decision. They will look at your information, but they get to choose how they do that.
