(b) Unless a different time period is stated, an appeal must be filed within 60 days, which may be extended for good cause, after either the appellant has notice or should reasonably have known of the decision, situation, or action being appealed.

(c) The appellant must provide any additional information that is requested, and failure to provide such information may result in dismissal of the appeal.
