The decision of the Authority follows:
18 FLRA No. 12 AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, LOCAL 3615 Union and SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION OFFICE OF HEARING AND APPEALS Activity Case No. 0-AR-944 ORDER DISMISSING EXCEPTIONS This case is before the Authority on exceptions to the award of Arbitrator Robert B. Lubic 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. By Authority letter dated April 9, 1985, the Union was informed that preliminary examination of the exceptions disclosed apparent deficiencies in meeting the requirements of the Authority's rules of procedure. Specifically, as was noted in the Authority's letter, the Union's exceptions failed to comply with section 2425.2(b) and (d) of the Regulations. The Union was also advised in the Authority's letter that further processing of the exceptions was contingent upon compliance with the designated provision of the Authority's Regulations. In this regard, the Union was informed of the specific action that had to be taken to comply and complete the appeal, and was afforded time in which to take that action. Finally, the Union was advised that failure to comply with the cited requirement within the time limit provided could result in dismissal of the exceptions. The Union has made no submission within the time limit provided. Accordingly, the exceptions are hereby dismissed for failure to comply with the Authority's Regulations. For the Authority. Issued, Washington, D.C., May 20, 1985 Harold D. Kessler Managing Director for Case Processing
