# §842.75. Reconsidering claims against the United States.


This section provides the policy and procedures to reconsider any maritime claim made against the United States.

- (a) The settlement authority may reconsider any claim previously disapproved in whole or in part when either:
  - (1) **The claimant submits new evidence in support of the claim.**
  - (2) **There were errors or irregularities in the submission or settlement of the claim.**
- (b) **There is no right of appeal to higher authority under this subpart.**
- (c) There is no time limit for submitting a request for reconsideration, but it is within the discretion of the settlement authority to decline to reconsider a claim based on the amount of time passed since the claim was originally denied.
