# §177.31. Reexamination of final determinations.


A party-at-interest, other than the party-at-interest which requested and received the initial final determination, may ask Customs to consider the matter anew and issue, on an expedited basis, a new final determination. Such a request shall specifically identify the previous final determination. Upon receipt of such a request, Customs will issue a new final determination within five working days of receipt of the request unless (a) the previous final determination was the subject of a contested lawsuit timely filed in the Court of International Trade under [28 U.S.C. 1581(e)](/usc/28/1581.md?p=e) or, (b) the merchandise at issue in the initial final determination was tendered and deemed responsive to the request for proposals or an invitation for bids in a competitive procurement subject to the Buy American Act ([41 U.S.C. 10a](/usc/41/10a.md) et seq.) and a contract under such procurement was let. Any new final determination issued under this section shall be published in accordance with [§ 177.29](/cfr/19/177.29.md) and is reviewable under [§ 177.30](/cfr/19/177.30.md).
