If a conference is requested by the complainant, the presence of the licensee or registrant at the conference shall be subject to the concurrence of the complainant. If the conference is requested by the licensee or registrant, the presence or disclosure of the identity of the complainant shall be made only pursuant to written authorization from the complainant. After considering all written and oral views presented, the Agency shall affirm, modify or reverse the determination of the Office of Radiation Safety and furnish the complainant and the licensee or registrant a written notification of the decision and the reason for that decision.

The determination shall be without prejudice to the filing of a new complaint meeting the requirements of Section 400.160(a).
