# §536.68. Appeal or reconsideration.

- (a) An appeal or a request for reconsideration will be acknowledged in writing. A request for reconsideration under [subpart D](/cfr/32/subpartD.md) of this part invokes the six-month period during which suit cannot be filed, [28 CFR 14.9(b)](/cfr/28/14.9.md?p=b). The acknowledgment letter will underscore this restriction.
- (b) Where the contents of the appeal or request for reconsideration indicate, additional investigation will be conducted and the original action changed if warranted. Except for [subpart J](/cfr/32/subpartJ.md) of this part, which sets forth separate rules for FCCs, if the relief requested is not warranted the settlement authority will forward the claim to a higher settlement authority with a claims memorandum of opinion (see [§ 536.62](/cfr/32/536.62.md)) stating the reasons why the request is invalid.
