(a) If an obligor owes an amount in excess of $2,500 in support arrears under a support order, the agency will certify this fact to the Secretary of State for denial, revocation, or limitation of the obligor's passport.

(b) Before making the certification under (a) of this section, the agency will notify the obligor that the agency has determined that the obligor's support arrears under a support order exceed $2,500, that the agency intends to certify this fact to the Secretary of State, that the agency's certification to the Secretary of State may result in the denial, revocation, or limitation of the obligor's passport, and that the obligor may contest the agency's determination. The agency will provide the notice required by this subsection in the manner described in AS 25.27.265(a).

(c) An obligor to whom notice is given under (b) of the section may submit a written request for an administrative review to contest the agency's determination not more than 30 days after the date of mailing of the notice. The request must state the specific reasons for the review and be accompanied by all documents upon which the person requesting the review intends to rely. The agency may reject a request for administrative review if the request does not comply with the requirements of this subsection. The agency's administrative review is limited to the following issues:

(d) Unless the request for an administrative review is rejected under (c) of this section, the agency will conduct an administrative review within 10 days after the agency receives a request for an administrative review. The agency will issue a decision as soon as practicable after the completion of the administrative review. An administrative appeal is not available from the administrative review decision issued under this section.

(e) If, after the agency has provided a certification to the Secretary of State under (a) of this section, the obligor reduces the amount of the obligor's arrears to not more than $2,500, the agency will report that change in the amount of the obligor's arrears to the Secretary of State.
