                                            Case No. 0-AR-1090
 
                        ORDER DISMISSING EXCEPTIONS
 
    This case is before the Authority on exceptions to the award of
 Arbitrator Don Hamilton by the Union pursuant to section 7122(a) of the
 Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and section 2425.1 of
 the Authority's Rules and Regulations.  For the reason stated below, it
 has been determined that the exceptions must be dismissed as untimely
 filed.
 
    The Arbitrator' s award is dated December 26, 1985, and appears to
 have been served on the parties by mail on the same day.
 
    Under section 7122(b) of the Statute, as amended, /1/ and section
 2425.1 of the Authority' s Rules and Regulations, as amended, /2/ which
 amendments are applicable to exceptions pending or filed with the
 Authority on or after March 2, 1984, and under sections 2429.21 and
 2429.22 of the Rules and Regulations, which are also applicable to
 computation of the time limit here involved any exceptions to the
 Arbitrator' s award in this case had to be filed, that is, received in
 the national office of the Authority not later than the close of
 business on January 29, 1986.  However, the exceptions were not filed
 with the Authority at its national office in Washington, D.C., until
 January 31, 1986.
 
    Accordingly, as the Union' s exceptions were untimely filed, they are
 hereby dismissed.
 
    For the Authority.
