(a) If the Department denies terminal designation, route feasibility or revokes a previously approved terminal or route, the applicant/terminal owner, within fifteen (15) working days following the date of receipt of the decision of the Department, may appeal said decision to the Board in writing. An appeal shall be made on a form prescribed by the Department and shall be filed with the Board. The appeal shall state specifically wherein there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Department or wherein its decision is not supported by the evidence in the record. Within fifteen (15) working days of the filing of an appeal, the Department shall transmit to the Secretary of the Board the terminal application, the sketches of the proposed or revoked route and all other data filed therewith, the report and decision of the Department on the application.
(b) The Board shall make copies of the data provided by the Department available to the applicant and to the appellant (if the applicant is not the appellant) for inspection and may give notice to any other interested party who requested notice of the time when the appeal will be considered by the Board.
(c) If Caltrans, and not the Department, denies, or revokes, terminal access from federally designated highways, no appeal may be made to the Board, but must be made to Caltrans as may be permitted by Caltrans.
