§ 29-20. Filing an appeal.

An appeal shall be filed in writing with the CUPA within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice to comply. The appeal must be filed with the CUPA. Such appeals shall indicate the name and address of the person or entity filing the appeal and the name and address of the facility involved, if applicable. The appeal shall also contain, setting forth with particularity the ground or grounds for the appeal, the person's contentions on appeal and a legal basis for the person's contentions. The appellant shall assert any claim for trade secrets to be raised at the hearing, together with a legal justification for the claim. Failure to assert such a claim in a timely fashion may be deemed by the hearing officer to constitute a waiver of the claim. If the hearing officer determines that a trade secret exists, it may take any step necessary to prevent unnecessary disclosure including excluding the public from that portion of the hearing.
