OSHRC Docket No. 78-6032

Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission

January 23, 1980

COUNSEL:

�
[*1]
�

Baruch A. Fellner, Office of the Solicitor, USDOL

Francis V. LaRuffa, Regional Solicitor, U.S. Department of Labor

Jerome A. Koch, Jr.,Karl Koch Erecting Co., Inc., for the employer

OPINION:

CORRECTIVE ORDER

The Commission regards Respondent's letter dated December 7, 1979, as a motion for relief from Judgment or order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(a) and Grants the motion, as the Judge, through apparent oversight, assessed incorrect penalty amounts.
�
Therefore, the Commission amends Judge Alfieri's order to assess penalty amounts as follows:

Item 2

$150

Item 3(a), (b) and (c)

$150

Item 4

$100

�

Item 1 remains at $400.
�
The total penalty assessed is amended to $800.

Respondent's letter reflects Respondent's erroneous belief that a penalty of $450 was assessed for item 1.
�
In fact, Judge Alfieri assessed a penalty of $400 for that item (J.D. 11, 13).
�
The Commission does not view Respondent's letter as requesting that the penalty assessed for item 1 be raised to $450, and does not do so
