                                            Case No. O-AR-735
 
                        ORDER DISMISSING EXCEPTIONS
 
    This case is before the Authority on exceptions to the award of
 Arbitrator Joseph F. Gentile filed 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
 reasons stated below, it has been determined that the exceptions must be
 dismissed as untimely filed.
 
    The Arbitrator's award is dated February 13, 1984, 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 with the Authority no
 later than the close of business on March 19, 1984.  However the
 exceptions were not filed until March 22, 1984.  Therefore, the
 exceptions were untimely filed.
 
    Accordingly, as the Union's exceptions were untimely filed, they are
 hereby dismissed.
 
    For the Authority.

                 ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
 
    This case is before the Authority on a motion for reconsideration
 filed by the Union on June 21, 1984, seeking reconsideration of the
 Authority's Decision of May 8, 1984.  For the reasons set forth below,
 the motion must be denied.
 
    Section 2429.17 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations, effective
 September 10, 1981, provides in pertinent part:
 
          2429.17 Reconsideration.
 
          After a final decision or order of the Authority has been
       issued, a party to the proceeding before the Authority who can
       establish in its moving papers extraordinary circumstances for so
       doing, may move for reconsideration of such final decision or
       order.  The motion shall be filed within 10 days after service of
       the Authority's decision or order. . . .
 
    The Authority's Decision was dated and served on the Union by mail on
 May 8, 1984.  Therefore, under section 2429.17 of the Authority's Rules
 and Regulations, and sections 2429.21 and 2429.22, which are also
 applicable to the computation of the time limit here involved, the
 Union's motion for reconsideration was due in the national office of the
 Authority before the close of business on May 23, 1984.  Since, as
 indicated above, the Union's motion was not filed until June 21, 1984,
 it is clearly untimely and must be denied.
 
    Accordingly, for the reason set forth above,
 
    IT IS ORDERED that the Union's motion for reconsideration in this
 case be, and it hereby is, denied.
 
    For the Authority.
