and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the
application be denied (Exhibit C) . The advisory opinion was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D).

After careful consideration of applicant's request and the
available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of
error or injustice to warrant corrective action, The facts and
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the
evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant.

entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to
disturb the existing record.
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.

will only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant
evidence which was not reasonably available at the time the
