57 FLRA No. 17
Association of Civilian Technicians, Wichita Air Capitol Chapter and U.S. Department of Defense Civilian Personnel Management Service, Case No. 0-NG-2525 (Decided March 30, 2001)
The Agency's motion for reconsideration was denied. The Authority concluded that the Agency's motion failed to establish extraordinary circumstances warranting reconsideration
The Authority explained that under § 2429.17 of the Authority's Regulations, a party seeking reconsideration of a final decision or order of the Authority bears the heavy burden of establishing that extraordinary circumstances exist to justify this unusual action. The Authority has found that extraordinary circumstances exist, and has granted reconsideration, in a limited number of situations, including where the Authority had erred in its remedial order, process, conclusion of law, or factual finding. A moving party's disagreement with the conclusion reached by the Authority is insufficient to satisfy the extraordinary circumstances requirement.
