Sec. 52.22  Time limit for filing application.



    An application for correction of a record must be filed within three 

years after the applicant discovered or reasonably should have 

discovered the alleged error or injustice. If an application is 

untimely, the applicant shall set forth reasons in the application why 

it is in the interest of justice for the Board to consider the 

application. An untimely application shall be denied unless the Board 

finds that sufficient evidence has been presented to warrant a finding 

that it would be in the interest of justice to excuse the failure to 

file timely.
