conference in which the complaining party and the employer may orally present their views. After considering all written and oral views presented, the
Assistant Regional Director shall affirm, modify, or reverse the determination of the Area Director and furnish the complaining party and the employer
and written notification of this decision and the reasons therefor. The decision of the Assistant Regional Director shall be final and not subject to
