1. After the film owner is informed of the disapproval of his movie, he shall inform the Board, in writing, of his intent to either abide by the decision of the Board or to appeal to the MTRCB Appeals Committee of the Office of the President.

While awaiting such notice to the Board, the movie print properly sealed shall remain in the custody of the Board.
