Sec. 251.89  Time extensions.

    (a) Filing of notice of appeal. Time for filing a notice of appeal 
is not extendable.
    (b) All other time periods. Appellants, Intervenors, Deciding 
Officers, and Reviewing Officers shall meet the time periods specified 
in the rules of this subpart, unless a Reviewing Officer has extended 
the time as provided in this paragraph. Except as noted in paragraph (a) 
of this section and as prohibited at the discretionary review level 
(Sec. 251.100), the Reviewing Officer may extend all other time periods 
under this subpart.
    (1) For appeals of initial written decisions by the Chief, a 
Regional Forester, or a Forest Supervisor, a Reviewing Officer, where 
good cause exists, may grant a written request for extension of time to 
file a responsive statement or replies thereto. The Reviewing Officer 
shall rule on requests for extensions within 10 days of receipt of the 
request and shall provide written notice of the extension ruling to all 
parties to the appeal.
    (2) Except for discretionary reviews of appeal decisions as provided 
in Sec. 251.100 of this subpart, a Reviewing Officer may extend the 
time period for issuance of the appeal decision, including for purposes 
of allowing additional time for the Deciding Officer to resolve disputed 
issues, as provided in Sec. 251.93 of this subpart.
