 §1614.407   Reconsideration.                                           
  
     (a) Within a reasonable period of time, the Commission may, in its
 discretion, reconsider any decision of the Commission issued under    
  1614.405(a) notwithstanding any other provisions of this part.       
     (b) A party may request reconsideration of any decision issued    
 under  1614.405(a) provided that such request is made within 30 days  
 of receipt of a decision of the Commission or within 20 days of       
 receipt of another party's timely request for reconsideration.  Such  
 request, along with any supporting statement or brief, shall be       
 submitted to the Office of Review and Appeals and to all parties with 
 proof of such submission.  All other parties shall have 20 days from  
 the date of service in which to submit all other parties, with proof  
 of submission, any statement or brief in opposition to the request.   
     (c) The request or the statement or brief in support of the       
 request shall contain arguments or evidence which tend to establish   
 that:                                                                 
     (1) New and material evidence is available that was not readily   
 available when the previous decision was issued;  or                  
     (2) The previous decision involved an erroneous interpretation of 
 law, regulation or material fact, or misapplication of established    
 policy;  or                                                           
     (3) The decision is of such exceptional nature as to have         
 substantial precedential implications.                                
     (d) A decision on a request for reconsideration by either party is
 final and there is no further right by either party to request        
 reconsideration of the decision for which reconsideration was sought.
