This section outlines the procedures for notification of final denial or revocation of eligibility for the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) and the available appeal procedures for training providers.

   4. Information about the opportunity for the provider to appeal the decision.
2. The notice must be sent to the training provider within fifteen (15) calendar days of the decision.

   2. The reason(s) the eligibility should be granted;
   3. All documentation the training provider believes supports its position;
   4. Contact information for additional information; and
   5. The signature of the chief executive of the training provider.
4. The State ETPL Coordinator will have forty-five (45) calendar days from the date of receipt of the appeal to make a determination on the appeal.
   1. The State ETPL Coordinator may request additional information or convene a meeting with the affected parties as necessary.
      1. If the appeal is denied and the final decision is upheld, the relevant program(s) of study or training provider will remain ineligible and off the ETPL.
      2. If the appeal is granted and the final decision is reversed, the relevant program(s) of study or training provider will be determined eligible and given initial eligible or continued eligible status, as appropriate, on the State ETPL.
      3. The State ETPL Coordinator will notify the training provider and the Local ETPL Coordinator of the decision in writing.
