brief and must describe specifically each allegedly erroneous decision.
    (c) Any response to a motion for reconsideration must be filed 
within 20 days of receipt of such motion.
    (d) The ALJ will dispose of a motion for reconsideration by denying 
it or by issuing a revised initial decision.
    (e) If the ALJ issues a revised initial decision upon motion of a 
party, that party may not file another motion for reconsideration.
