I've been through enough zoning hearings and imagine the FAA works in a similar bureaucratic fashion.
All applications are either denied or approved. Approved is blanket. Denied can have a caveat like "denied - further review" which doesn't actually mean denied, it means they had to give an answer by a certain date and need further review. If they gave it an approve stamp they are giving up their right to further investigate.
