SAUER-SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION,

Respondent.

OSHRC Docket No. 89-1174

DIRECTION FOR REVIEW AND ORDER

The parties in the above-cited action entered into a Settlement Agreement dated May 9, 1990, which was received by the Commission's Atlanta Office on May 17, 1990. On May 18, 1990, Administrative Law Judge Paul L. Brady issued an order approving the said Settlement Agreement. That Order was docketed with the Commission on May 25, 1990. On May 23, 1990, Respondent filed with the Commission a Motion for Relief From Clerical Mistakes.

Based on an examination of the official record, and pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 661(j) and Commission Rule 92(a), 29 C.F.R. § 2200.92(a), the aforementioned order is directed for review.

In withdrawing Citation 2, Item 8, in the Settlement Agreement, the parties refer to the said citation as serious in characterization. See Introductory Paragraph (a). In the original Citation and Notification of Penalty, however, the said citation was characterized as other than serious. It appearing to the Commission that an error was thus made by the parties in the Settlement Agreement, the same is hereby noted and deemed to be corrected.

The aforesaid Judge's Order affirmed Citation 2. That citation, however, had been amended by the parties in the Settlement Agreement to withdraw Item 8 thereof. Accordingly, Respondent's Motion for Relief from Clerical Mistakes is granted and the aforesaid Order is modified to read as follows:

4. Citation No. 2, as amended, is hereby affirmed.

WHEREFORE, with the modifications noted above, the Judge's Order approving the Settlement Agreement is affirmed.
