Who may ask an administrative agency to tell them whether a disposition is subject to administrative appeal, and in what form must the answer come?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file we read the disposition itself, any paper showing the requester's connection to it as an interested party, and the written request asking the agency to state whether administrative appeal lies, with the competent committee and the filing period, and any demand that the answer be given in writing.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the paragraph at face value: where an interested party makes the demand, the administrative agency must tell them without delay whether the disposition is subject to administrative appeal, and if it is, which committee has jurisdiction and what the filing period is, giving the answer in writing where written form was demanded.
Another reading notes the conditions the paragraph does not fix: it says 'administrative agency' and 'interested party' without naming which agency holds the duty or what qualifies a requester as interested, so a file showing a demand refused on either ground turns on facts this provision leaves open.
Your judgment
How could a file show, before any answer arrives, that the requester falls inside the provision's interested party and that the demand reached the right agency?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We revisit this card if the provision is amended to name the agency holding the duty or to define interested party, or if a court decision sets what prompt means for this answer.
