If the Commissioner determines that an inspection is not warranted because there are no
reasonable grounds to believe that a violation or danger exists with respect to a complaint
under Rule 0800-01-04-.12, he shall notify the complaining party in writing of such
determination. The complaining party may obtain review of such determination by submitting
a written statement of position with the Commissioner and, at the same time, provide the
employer with a copy of such statement by certified mail. The employer may submit an
opposing written statement of position with the Commissioner and, at the same time, provide
the complaining party with a copy of such statement by certified mail. Upon the request of the
complaining party or the employer, the Commissioner, at his discretion, may hold an informal
conference in which the complaining party and the employer may orally present their views.
After considering all written and oral views presented, the Commissioner shall affirm, modify
or reverse the original determination and furnish the complaining party and the employer with
written notification of his decision and the reasons therefore. The decision of the
Commissioner shall be final and not subject to further review.
