(a) A claimant may request reconsideration of a decision of the FAB
by making a written request to the FAB within 30 days from the date of
issuance of such decision.
(b) If the FAB grants the request for reconsideration, it will
review the district office's recommended decision again and issue a new
decision on the claim. A hearing is not available as part of the
reconsideration process. If the FAB denies the request for
reconsideration, the decision in question shall be final on the date
the request is denied.
(c) A claimant may not seek judicial review of a decision on his or
her claim under the Act until all administrative review opportunities
have been exhausted and OWCP's decision on the claim is final pursuant
to Sec. 30.316(d).
