Whilethis case was on appeal before the court, the Secretary and Wyman-GordonCo. entered into a settlement agreement, a copy of which we havereceived from the Secretary. In that agreement, Wyman-Gordon withdrawsits notice of contest to the citation insofar as it alleged violationsof 29 C.F.R. ? 1910.20(e)(2)(i) concerning \”Exhibits\” 3A, 8C, and 11.Those parts of the citation are thereby rendered a final order of theCommission, under section 10(a) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. ? 659(a).In accordance with the mandate of the First Circuit, we \”vacate as moot\”the dispositions in our decision vacating the citation insofar as italleged violations of section 1910.20(e)(2)(i) concerning \”Exhibits\” 3A,8C, and 11. Except for these three specific dispositions, our decisionissued on December 20, 1991, remains undisturbed, in accordance with theprovisions of the settlement agreement entered into on appeal, andconstitutes Commission precedent.[[1]]Dated: August 6, 1992————————————————————————*FOOTNOTES: *[[1]] As we stated in our decision issued today in Contractors Weldingof Western New York Inc. (No. 88-1847), even though the disposition ofan issue may be moot, the analysis is still valid Commission precedent.We emphasize that in this case only the dispositions vacating thecitation concerning \”Exhibits\” 3A, 3C, and 11 are no longer part of ourdecision. The analysis common to those \”Exhibits\” and others in the caseremains Commission precedent.”
