Request a statement of grounds and test the reasons that were given
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Quote each reason in the decision and list the facts the client says are missing from it. Draft no letter.
- What the lawyer must review
- 5 U.S.C. § 555(e) requires prompt notice of the denial in whole or in part of a written application, petition, or other request of an interested person made in connection with any agency proceeding. Except when the agency affirms a prior denial or the denial is self-explanatory, the notice must include a brief statement of the grounds for denial. You decide whether this denial needed that statement and what to ask for. A statutory hearing under § 554 has its own notice contents.
