This section provides the procedures used to reconsider a final denial.
  1. (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.
  2. (b)The FCC does not mention a reconsideration right in the original denial letter.
  3. (c)A settlement authority must reconsider the final action when there is:
    1. (1)New and material evidence concerning the claim; or
    2. (2)Obvious errors in the original decision.
  4. (d)The FCC must document in the claim file the reason for reconsideration.
  5. (e)A FCC above the original settlement authority may direct a claim be forwarded to a higher FCC for reconsideration.
