§ 1930.145 - Appeals.

Only the borrower, or the borrower's representative (as defined in subpart B of part 1900 of this chapter), can appeal an FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 decision. The borrower's management agent may not request an appeal unless he/she has been designated as the borrower's representative. This means he/she must be authorized in writing by the borrower to act for the borrower in the administrative appeal, as required by subpart B of part 1900 of this chapter (this may be addressed in the management agreement). The borrower's request for review of an alleged adverse decision must be made to FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 in written form. Appeals and reviews will be handled in accordance with directions set forth in subpart B of part 1900 of this chapter.
