                                            Case No. 0-AR-1320 
                                               (26 FLRA No. 92)
 
                 ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
 
    This matter is before the Authority on a request filed by the Union
 seeking reconsideration of the Authority's decision of April 30, 1987.
 
    Section 2429.17 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations permits a
 party that can establish "extraordinary circumstances" to request
 reconsideration of a decision of the Authority.  Here, however, we
 conclude that the Union has not established "extraordinary
 circumstances" within the meaning of section 2429.17.  Rather, the
 arguments presented by the Union in support of its request constitute
 nothing more than disagreement with the merits of the Authority's
 decision and an attempt to relitigate the matter.
 
    Accordingly, the Union's request for reconsideration is denied.
 
    Issued, Washington, D.C. May 29, 1987.
