Any party desiring review of the decision of the Administrative Law
Judge may petition the Secretary to review the decision. To be
effective, such petition must be received by the Secretary within 30
days of the date of the decision of the Administrative Law Judge. Copies
of the petition shall be served on all parties and on the Chief
Administrative Law Judge. If the Secretary does not issue a notice
accepting a petition for review within 30 days after receipt of a timely
filing of the petition, or within 30 days of the date of the decision if
no petition has been received, the decision of the Administrative Law
Judge shall be deemed the final agency action.
