# §405.962. Timeframe for filing a request for a reconsideration.

- (a) **Timeframe for filing a request.** Except as provided in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section and in [§ 405.974(b)(1)](/cfr/42/405.974.md?p=b-1), regarding a request for QIC reconsideration of a contractor's dismissal of a redetermination request, any request for a reconsideration must be filed within 180 calendar days from the date the party receives the notice of the redetermination.
  - (1) For purposes of this section, the date of receipt of the redetermination will be presumed to be 5 calendar days after the date of the notice of redetermination, unless there is evidence to the contrary.
  - (2) For purposes of meeting the 180 calendar day filing deadline, the request is considered as filed on the date it is received by the QIC.
- (b) **Extending the time for filing a request—**
  - (1) **General rule.** A QIC may extend the 180 calendar day timeframe for filing a request for reconsideration for good cause.
  - (2) **How to request an extension.** A party to the redetermination must file its request for an extension of the time for filing the reconsideration request with its request for reconsideration. A party should include evidence to support the request for extension. The request for reconsideration and request for extension must—
    - (i) Be in writing;
    - (ii) State why the request for reconsideration was not filed within the required timeframe; and
    - (iii) Meet the requirements of [§ 405.964](/cfr/42/405.964.md).
  - (3) **How the QIC determines whether good cause exists.** In determining whether a party has good cause for missing a deadline to request reconsideration, the QIC applies the good cause provisions contained in § [405.942(b)(2)](/cfr/42/405.942.md?p=b-2) and [(b)(3)](/cfr/42/405.942.md?p=b-3).
