The Head of Field Element or EC Director (as applicable) may dismiss your complaint for lack of jurisdiction or for other good cause after receiving your complaint, either on his or her own initiative or at the request of a party named in your complaint. Such decisions are generally issued by the 15th day after the receipt of your employer's comments.
The Head of Field Element or EC Director (as applicable) will notify you by certified mail, return receipt requested, if your complaint is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction or other good cause, and give you specific reasons for the dismissal, and will notify other parties of the dismissal.

The facts, as alleged in your complaint, do not present issues for which relief can be granted under this part; or
You filed a complaint under State or other applicable law with respect to the same facts as alleged in a complaint under this part; or
Your complaint is frivolous or without merit on its face; or
The issues presented in your complaint have been rendered moot by subsequent events or substantially resolved; or
Your employer has made a formal offer to provide the remedy that you request in your complaint or a remedy that DOE considers to be equivalent to what could be provided as a remedy under this part.
