Iowa Admin. Code r. 571-17.7
Contested case procedures are not applicable to disputes concerning leases under this chapter, except as set forth in rule 571-17.8 (461A) and subrule 17.10(9). A commission decision whether or not to recommend a lease or a particular condition of a lease is final agency action, subject to the right of an applicant or other affected person to file with the director a written request for reconsideration by the commission. The director must receive the request for reconsideration within 30 days after the commission's decision on a proposed lease. A commission decision to recommend a lease will be forwarded to the executive council of Iowa for approval after 30 days following the commission's decision unless the director has been notified of a written request for reconsideration or the filing of a petition for judicial review of the commission's recommendation.
