§ 751.108 - Review by the OPM Director.

The Director may, on the Director's own initiative and before a decision becomes final under § 751.109, reopen and reconsider any initial decision or reopened and reconsidered decision. In determining whether to exercise this authority, the Director may consider, among other things, whether the decision may contain clear legal error; may rest on an erroneous finding of material fact; may involve an issue of exceptional importance, an issue affecting the administration of the civil service laws, rules, regulations, or OPM policy, or a conflict among OPM decisions; or otherwise warrants Director review. This section does not create a right to request Director review. Upon reopening and reconsideration, the Director may take any action described in § 751.107(c).
