To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 7

Subsection (e)(1)(D) and, in the same terms, subsection (e)(2)(D). The issuer or an institution-affiliated party subject to a directive may present to the Board or the Comptroller in writing the reasons the directive should be modified or rescinded. If the agency affirms or modifies it, any affected party may then petition the United States district court where its main office is located, or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, to stay, modify, terminate or set aside the directive. On a showing of extraordinary cause a party may go to court without first exhausting the administrative route.

What the document actually says

“If, after 10 days after the receipt of a response described in subclause (I), the Board does not affirm, modify, or rescind the directive, the directive shall automatically lapse.”

That sentence, in plain words

A firm can write back to say why an order is wrong. The agency then has 10 days. If it does nothing, the order falls away.

What this is about

The agency can keep the order, change it or drop it. If it keeps it, the firm can go to court. In a rare case it may go straight there.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
