What is an application for reconsideration of a Board decision?
A party which is affected by a recent order or decision issued by the Board may request that the Board reconsider its decision. A request for reconsideration must be filed within 21 days after the date the written reasons of the decision or order were issued. The applicant has the burden of proving that there are serious reasons or even exceptional circumstances that would justify the reconsideration of a decision. It is not sufficient to provide a general criticism of the decision under review.
