An operator whose certification has been suspended may appeal in writing to the _________________ who determines the action.

The appeal process for an operator whose certification has been suspended involves submitting a written appeal to the Division Director. This individual plays a critical role in overseeing the certification process and addresses disputes that may arise concerning certification status, including suspensions. The Division Director has the authority and responsibility to review the case and determine the appropriate action based on the specifics of the situation.

Understanding that the other options refer to different roles within the system helps clarify why the Division Director is the appropriate choice. While a technical supervisor or scientific director may have specialized knowledge relevant to the operation and accuracy of breath testing equipment, they do not primarily handle certification appeals. The certification board may be involved in broader policy or regulatory issues but does not directly manage appeals pertaining to individual operator certifications. Therefore, the correct channel for an appeal concerning certification status rests with the Division Director.
