The request shall indicate why a complete appeal cannot be filed within sixty (60) calendar days from receipt of the material supervisory determination, and shall indicate the date by which the appellant will file the appeal. The Commissioner may grant requests for extensions as circumstances warrant.

C. Procedures for Reviewing Appeals 1. The Commissioner shall ensure that a letter acknowledging receipt of the appeal is sent to the appellant within five (5) business days of receipt of the appeal.

7. If the appeal involves a joint material supervisory determination with another regulatory agency, the Commissioner shall provide a copy of the complete appeal to that agency upon determination that the appeal is complete.

Regardless of the outcome of an appeal, the person(s) who directly participated in the supervisory determination subject to appeal shall not participate in matters affecting the appellant for at least one examination cycle, but in no case for a period less than one year after the final decision of an appeal filed by the appellant. In addition, in cases where the material supervisory determination is overturned on appeal, the person(s) materially participating in the determination shall not participate in matters affecting the appellant for one year, or such longer period as the Commissioner determines to be appropriate. The Commissioner, at his/her discretion, may extend further the recusal period whenever such an extension is determined to be appropriate.
