(a) State the reason(s) certification is denied, citing the relevant regulatory standards;

(b) Offer the employer an opportunity to request administrative review of the denial under §655.61; and

(c) State that if the employer does not request administrative review in accordance with §655.61, the denial is final and the Department of Labor will not accept any appeal on that Application for Temporary Employment Certification.
