Such request shall be in writing, and must be received by the Division within three days after the date of such determination. No determination by the Division staff pursuant to delegated authority shall be deemed final until all parties have been afforded an opportunity for review in accordance with this subsection.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any matter which has otherwise been delegated to the Division staff may alternatively be presented to and determined by the Director at the discretion of the Director, or upon the request of the Division staff.

(e) Whenever any provision of the Division's rules requires that a party provide notice to or file any application, petition or other submission with the Division, the Division shall provide written notice to such party, designating any member or members of its staff authorized to accept such notice or filings on behalf of the Division.
