CASE NO.  94-ERA-19


IN THE MATTER OF

TROY W. ARWOOD,

          COMPLAINANT,
     v.

MARTIN MARIETTA ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.

          RESPONDENT.


BEFORE:   THE SECRETARY OF LABOR


                     FINAL ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT
                         AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT

     The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) submitted a Recommended
Decision and Order Approving Settlement and Dismissing Case on
October 28, 1994, in this case arising under the employee
protection provision of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as
amended (ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851 (1988) recommending approval
of the Settlement Agreement submitted by the parties.
     The agreement encompasses the settlement of matters arising
under various laws in addition to the ERA.  See paragraph
1.  For the reasons set forth in Poulos v. Ambassador Fuel Oil
Co., Inc., Case No. 86-CAA-1, Sec. Ord., Nov. 2, 1987, slip
op. at 2, I have limited my review of the agreement to
determining whether its terms are a fair, adequate and reasonable
settlement of the complaint that Respondent violated the ERA.  
     The settlement agreement and the record have been reviewed
and I find, in agreement with the ALJ, that the terms of the
settlement are fair, adequate and reasonable to settle
Complainant's allegations that Respondent violated the ERA.  
     Accordingly the settlement agreement is approved and the 
[PAGE 2]
complaint is DISMISSED.
     SO ORDERED.
