(b) The sender or juvenile shall be permitted to submit to the Regional Administrator written arguments that the challenged publication does not violate the category indicated in the report of the staff member.

(c) The Regional Administrator or designee shall issue a written decision on the appeal and respond to the sender or juvenile, as appropriate, within 72 hours of receipt of the written appeal.
