Request for reconsideration

1. Within ten days after receipt of the order, the facility may request reconsideration by the department. Within fifteen days after receipt of a request for reconsideration, the department shall grant or deny the request for reconsideration and may suspend the imposition of any sanction except one imposed under subsection 8 or 9 of section 33-07-05-06, pending a decision on reconsideration. 2. A request for reconsideration must, in any event, be denied unless it identifies, with specificity, each disputed violation and states the factual basis for its contention that the violation was erroneously determined. The correction of the factors which led to the determination of a violation may not be asserted as a basis for a request for reconsideration. 3. If the department denies the request for reconsideration the department shall notify the facility in writing of that decision. If the denial was for any reason other than a failure of the request to conform to the requirements of subsection 2, the notice must advise the facility of the right to appeal. 4. If the department determines to undertake reconsideration, the decision on reconsideration must be rendered within forty days after the issuance of the order. The notice of the decision on reconsideration must advise the facility of the right to appeal. 5. If the facility fails to file a timely request for reconsideration which conforms to the requirements of subsection 2, the order is final in all respects, and no further administrative or judicial review is applicable.
