Applicants who believe their cases should not have been administratively closed by the Chair may resubmit their applications with a request for further consideration and a statement explaining why the applicant believes his or her case should be docketed and considered by the Board. A request for further consideration shall be regarded as a new application for the purposes of §§ 52.21 and 52.26.\n(c) If the Chair administratively closes a case, the applicant shall be advised of the reason and of the right to resubmit his or her application.","path":["Title 33—Navigation and Navigable Waters","CHAPTER I—COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY","SUBCHAPTER B—PERSONNEL","PART 52—BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS OF THE COAST GUARD","Subpart D—Consideration of Application and Administrative Closure"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-33.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:35Z","sha256":"ac6797736409a0b7acd47dbba5d291f560173b7f6697649a302ecd351a02b7e0","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/33-cfr-52.31","next":"us/33-cfr-52.41"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
