The petition must contain a brief statement of the complaint and an explanation as to why the effectiveness of the final order should be stayed.

(c) The Associate Administrator, OPS does not consider repetitious information, arguments, or petitions. (d) The filing of a petition under this section stays the payment of any civil penalty assessed. However, unless the Associate Administrator, OPS otherwise provides, the order, including any required corrective action, is not stayed. (e) The Associate Administrator, OPS may grant or deny, in whole or in part, any petition for reconsideration without further proceedings.
