# §7.135. Procedure for regaining eligibility.

- (a) **Requirements.** An applicant or recipient whose assistance has been denied, annulled, terminated, or suspended under this part regains eligibility as soon as it:
  - (1) Provides reasonable assurance that it is complying and will comply with this part in the future, and
  - (2) Satisfies the terms and conditions for regaining eligibility that are specified in the denial, annulment, termination or suspension order.
- (b) **Procedure.** The applicant or recipient must submit a written request to restore eligibility to the OCR declaring that it has met the requirements set forth in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section. Upon determining that these requirements have been met, the OCR must notify the Award Official, and the applicant or recipient that eligibility has been restored.
- (c) **Rights on denial of restoration of eligibility.** If the OCR denies a request to restore eligibility, the applicant or recipient may file a written request for a hearing before the EPA Chief Administrative Law Judge in accordance with [paragraph (c)](#c) [§ 7.130](/cfr/40/7.130.md), listing the reasons it believes the OCR was in error.
