The client must request the conference within 10 calendar days from the date you mail or hand deliver the MFIP Notice of Intent to Sanction (DHS-3175) (PDF) to the client. Requests for conciliation conference may be made in writing, by telephone, or in person.

If the client requests the conciliation conference within 10 calendar days from the date you mail or hand deliver the notice to the client, hold the conference within 5 calendar days of the request.
