<span style=""><span style="">My understanding was that revival after cancellation where the owner received the office action is virtually impossible. There isn\u2019t any form I\u2019m aware of except the standard petition to the Director, but as Kevin noted, the standard
is really <span class="SpellE"><span class="GramE">really</span></span><span class="GramE"> high</span> and hard to meet. Basically, the office\u2019s view is that no matter what string of events led to failure to respond, owners have six whole months to respond
and should be looking at PTO communications when they come in and not at the last minute. </span></span></p>

<span style=""><span style="">John, thanks <i>so much</i> for that reference. Even though the rules are really vague about what \u201cextraordinary circumstances\u201d are, I see the denial enunciates a
<span class="GramE">three part</span> test: \u201cin an extraordinary situation, when justice requires and no other party is injured\u201d.
<span class="GramE">So</span> then it\u2019s about what an \u201cextraordinary situation is\u201d (assuming the other two points are satisfied \u2013 that second prong sounds like an equitable situation where cancellation of the reg would be unconscionable or similar). If I recall
correctly, \u201cextraordinary circumstances\u201d usually involves hurricanes, sudden death of a critical person, volcanoes, things like that.
