which respondent may file an appeal to obtain a review in the United
States District Court of an administrative order, as provided in section
103(b)(2) or section 503(b)(2) of the Act, unless the Secretary issues a

(b) In the event a respondent has filed a notice of appeal of the

(c) Where the Secretary has issued a Notice of Intent, the time for
filing an appeal under sections 103(b)(2) or 503(b)(2) of the Act shall
