(b) Notification of approval
(1) In general

Not later than 180 days after receipt of a plan of action, or such longer period as the owner requests, the Secretary shall notify the owner in writing whether the plan of action, including any revisions, is approved. If approval is withheld, the notice shall describe-

(A) the reasons for withholding approval; and
(B) the actions that could be taken to meet the criteria for approval.
(2) Opportunity to revise

The Secretary shall subsequently give the owner a reasonable opportunity to revise the plan of action and seek approval.

An owner may bring an action in the appropriate Federal district court to enforce this subsection.
