                        TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
 
                              SAFETY BOARD
 
PART 821--RULES OF PRACTICE IN AIR SAFETY PROCEEDINGS--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart H--Appeal From Initial Decision
 
Sec. 821.47  Notice of appeal.


    (a) Time within which to file notice of appeal. A party may appeal 
from a law judge's initial decision or appealable order by filing with 
the Board, and simultaneously serving on the other parties, a notice of 
appeal, within 10 days after the date on which the oral initial decision 
was rendered or the written initial decision or appealable order was 
served (except as provided in Sec. 821.57(a) with respect to emergency 
proceedings). At any time before the time limit for filing an appeal 
from an initial decision or appealable order has passed, the law judge 
may, for good cause, reopen the matter on notice to the parties.
    (b) Request for reconsideration of law judge's initial decision or 
order. A law judge may not reconsider an initial decision or appealable 
order after the time for appealing to the Board from the decision or 
order has expired, or after an appeal has been filed with the Board. 
However, a timely request for reconsideration by the law judge of the 
initial decision or appealable order, filed before an appeal to the 
Board is taken, will stay the deadline for filing an appeal until 10 
days after the date on which the law judge serves his or her decision on 
the reconsideration request. For the purpose of this paragraph, if a 
request for reconsideration and a notice of appeal are filed on the same 
day, the reconsideration request will be deemed to have been filed 
first.
