ARB CASE NO. 97-125
In the Matter of:

ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES, INC.,
BEFORE: THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW BOARD
AND ORDER ESTABLISHING AMENDED BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND PRELIMINARY ORDER The Interim Recommended Decision and Order issued May 1, 1997 and the Final Recommended Decision and Order (R.

[Page 2] Counsel for Complainant has notified the Board that a copy of that July 28 Order has not been received to date and requested an amended briefing schedule. Counsel for Respondent has requested an amended schedule allowing for simultaneous filing of briefs by the parties, on the ground that the ALJ's R. D. and O. was partially in each party's favor. Counsel for Complainant joined in the request for permission to file simultaneous briefs. For good cause shown, it is hereby Ordered, that the terms of the briefing schedule issued in this matter on July 28, 1997 are rescinded and the following briefing schedule is substituted therefor: Respondent and Complainant may file an initial brief, not to exceed 30 double spaced typed pages, on or before September 29, 1997. Complainant and Respondent may file a reply or responsive brief, not to exceed 20 double spaced typed pages, on or before October 30, 1997. Respondent and Complainant may file a rebuttal brief, exclusively responsive to the reply brief and not to exceed 10 double spaced typed pages, on or before November 14, 1997. All pleadings are expected to conform to the page limitations and should be prepared in Courier 12 point, 10 character-per-inch type or larger, with minimum one inch left and right margins and minimum 1 inch top and bottom margins, printed on 8 by 11 inch paper. An original and four copies of all pleadings and briefs shall be filed with the Administrative Review Board, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room S-4309, Washington, D.C., 20210 (Telephone Number, 202-219-4728; Facsimile Number, 202-219-9315).
As noted, on May 1 and July 10, 1997, the ALJ issued Interim and Final R. D. and O.'s. in this case arising under the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851 (Supp. IV 1992), as amended by the Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act of 1992 (CNEPA), Pub. L. No. 102-486, 106 Stat. 2776, 3123. The Interim R. D. and O. found in favor of Complainant being compensated for lost wages. The Final R.
