# 83.58 Can AS-IA suspend review of a re-petition request?

(a) AS-IA can suspend review of a re-petition request, either conditionally or for a stated period, if there are technical or administrative problems that temporarily preclude continuing review.

(b) Upon resolution of the technical or administrative problems that led to the suspension, the re-petition request will have the same priority for review to the extent possible.

(1) OFA will notify the petitioner and those listed in § 83.51(b)(2) when AS-IA suspends and when AS-IA resumes review of the re-petition request.

(2) Upon the resumption of review, AS-IA will have the full 180 days to issue a decision on the request.
