                      SUBCHAPTER V--ADMINISTRATION
 
Sec. 2936. Administrative adjudication


(a) In general

    Whenever any applicant for financial assistance under this chapter 
is dissatisfied because the Secretary has made a determination not to 
award financial assistance in whole or in part to such applicant, the 
applicant may request a hearing before an administrative law judge of 
the Department of Labor. A similar hearing may also be requested by any 
recipient for whom a corrective action has been required or a sanction 
has been imposed by the Secretary under section 2934 of this title.

(b) Appeal

    The decision of the administrative law judge shall constitute final 
action by the Secretary unless, within 20 days after receipt of the 
decision of the administrative law judge, a party dissatisfied with the 
decision or any part of the decision has filed exceptions with the 
Secretary specifically identifying the procedure, fact, law, or policy 
to which exception is taken. Any exception not specifically urged shall 
be deemed to have been waived. After the 20-day period the decision of 
the administrative law judge shall become the final decision of the 
Secretary unless the Secretary, within 30 days after such filing, has 
notified the parties that the case involved has been accepted for 
review.

(c) Time limit

    Any case accepted for review by the Secretary under subsection (b) 
of this section shall be decided within 180 days after such acceptance. 
If the case is not decided within the 180-day period, the decision of 
the administrative law judge shall become the final decision of the 
Secretary at the end of the 180-day period.

(d) Additional requirement

    The provisions of section 2937 of this title shall apply to any 
final action of the Secretary under this section.
