# §30.312. What will the FAB do if the claimant objects to the recommended decision but does not request a hearing?


If the claimant files a written statement that objects to the recommended decision within the period of time allotted in [§ 30.310](/cfr/20/30.310.md) but does not request a hearing, the FAB will consider any objections by means of a review of the written record. If the claimant only objects to part of the recommended decision, the FAB may issue a final decision accepting the remaining part of the recommendation of the district office without first reviewing the written record (see [§ 30.316](/cfr/20/30.316.md)).
