(b) There are reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of Section 1901.07 has not occurred, in which case the Administrator shall then dismiss the complaint by preparing a written notice of dismissal, including the reasons therefor, and notify the parties of the dismissal within five days by serving a copy of the notice of dismissal by certified mail on the parties.
