                  CHAPTER II--RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
 
PART 259_INITIAL DETERMINATIONS AND APPEALS FROM INITIAL DETERMINATIONS WITH 
 
Sec.  259.6  Finality of determinations issued under this part.

    Any determination rendered by the Board at the initial or 
reconsideration stages shall be considered a final determination and 
shall be binding with respect to all parties unless reversed on 
reconsideration or upon judicial review. A final determination may be 
reopened at the request of a party who was, or could have been, a party 
to the final determination when the party alleges that the law or the 
facts upon which the final determination was based have changed 
sufficiently to warrant a contrary determination. Such a request shall 
be submitted to the Secretary to the Board, who shall consider such 
request as a request for an initial determination under Sec.  259.1.
