Under this rule, the Office of the Pardon Attorney would issue notifications of denial and close pending clemency cases when the Attorney General recommends that the President deny the clemency request and the President does not disapprove or take other action with respect to the adverse recommendation within 90 days after its submission to the President.&nbsp;</p>
