1202.10—Will FHFA expedite my request or appeal?
(a) Applications for Expedited Processing.
You may apply for expedited processing of an initial request or of an appeal. Your application must be in writing. FHFA will grant expedited processing, and give the request or appeal priority if your application demonstrates a compelling need for expedited processing by showing—
(1)
Circumstances in which the lack of expedited treatment could reasonably be expected to pose an imminent threat to the life or physical safety of an individual;
(2)
An urgency to inform the public about an actual or alleged Federal government activity if you are a person primarily engaged in disseminating information;
(4)
A matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exists possible questions about the government's integrity, affecting public confidence; or
(b) Certification of Compelling Need.
Your application for expedited processing must include a statement certifying that the reasons you present to demonstrate a compelling need are true and correct to the best of your knowledge.
(c) Determination on Application.
FHFA will notify you within ten (10) days of receipt of your application whether expedited processing has been granted. If your application is denied, you may appeal under section 1202.9.
