                                            Case No. O-AR-707
 
                        ORDER DISMISSING EXCEPTIONS
 
    This case is before the Authority on exceptions to the award of
 Arbitrator Jerome H. Ross filed by the Activity 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
 reasons stated below, it has been determined that the Activity's
 exceptions must be dismissed as untimely filed.
 
    Under section 7122(b) of the Statute and section 2425.1 of the
 Authority's Rules and Regulations, the time limit for filing an
 exception to an arbitration award is 30 days beginning on and including
 the date of the award.  Additionally, under section 2429.21 of the Rules
 and Regulations, any such exception must be received by the Authority
 before the close of business on the last day of the prescribed time
 limit.
 
    The Arbitrator's award in this case, as included in the Activity's
 submission, is dated November 30, 1983.  Therefore, under the Statute
 and the Authority's Rules and Regulations, the Activity's exceptions had
 to be filed, i.e., received in the national office of the Authority, no
 later than the close of business on December 29, 1983.  /1/ However, the
 exceptions were not filed until January 20, 1984.  In that regard, and
 as provided in section 2429.23(d) of the Rules and Regulations, the time
 limit for filing exceptions to an arbitration award may not be extended
 or waived by the authority.
 
    Accordingly, as the Activity's exceptions were untimely filed, they
 are hereby dismissed.
 
    For the Authority.

                                 DECISION
 
    This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to the award of
 Arbitrator Herbert Rossman filed by the Union under section 7122(a) of
 the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and part 2425 of
 the Authority's Rules and Regulations.
 
    Upon careful consideration of the entire record before the Authority,
 the Authority concludes that the Union has failed to establish that the
 Arbitrator's award is deficient on any of the grounds set forth in
 section 7122(a) of the Statute;  that is, that the award is contrary to
 any law, rule, or regulation, or that the award is deficient on other
 grounds similar to those applied by Federal courts in private sector
 labor-management relations.
 
    Accordingly, the Union's exceptions are denied.

    /1/ In this regard, the Activity asserts that the Arbitrator issued a
 clarification of his award on December 22, 1983.  However, since the
 deficiencies in the award asserted by the Activity arose in the November
 30 award, the filing period commenced on that date.  See United States
 Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Eugene District
 Office and National Federation of Federal Employees, Local 1911, 6 FLRA
 401, 403 n. 2(1981).
 
 
    /2/ The Union's request that the Authority issue a subpoena ordering
 the Agency to produce certain documents is also denied.
