ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR REVIEW

September 13, 1991
	     

	

The Petitioner has filed an application for review of the Regional 
Director's Decision and Order in the above- captioned case.  For reasons set 
forth below, the Petitioner's application for review is untimely and must be 
dismissed.

	The Authority's Regulations provide that "[a] party may file an 
application for review of the Regional Director's Decision and Order with 
the Authority within sixty (60) days of the date of such action."  5 C.F.R. 
2422.17(a).  The 60-day time limit for filing an application for review "may 
not be extended or waived."  Id.  See also 5 C.F.R. § 2429.23(d).  An 
application for review must be filed with the Authority's Docket Room in 
Washington, D.C.  5 C.F.R. § 2429.24(a).

	The Regional Director issued her Decision and Order on July 3, 1991.  
The 60-day period for filing an application for review began on July 3, 1991 
and expired on Sunday, September 1, 1991.  Because the last day of the 60-
day period was a weekend day, and the next day, Monday, September 2, 1991, 
was a Federal legal holiday (Labor Day), the last day for filing a timely 
application for review of the Regional Director's July 3 Decision and Order 
was Tuesday, September 3,1991.*/  5 C.F.R. § 2429.21(a).  The 
application for review was filed by the Petitioner in the Authority's Docket 
Room on September 9, 1991.

	The Petitioner's application for review was untimely filed.  
Accordingly, the Petitioner
