             TITLE 40--PUBLIC BUILDINGS, PROPERTY, AND WORKS
 
    CHAPTER 24--NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA INTEREST ARBITRATION STANDARDS
 
Sec. 1304. Procedures for enforcement of awards


(a) Modifications and finality of award

    In the case of an arbitration award to which section 1303 of this 
title applies, the interstate compact agency and the employees in the 
bargaining unit, through their representative, may agree in writing upon 
any modifications to the award within 10 days after the award is 
received by the parties. After the end of that 10-day period, the award, 
with any such modifications, shall become binding upon the interstate 
compact agency, the employees in the bargaining unit, and the employees' 
representative.

(b) Implementation

    Each party to an award that becomes binding under subsection (a) of 
this section shall take all actions necessary to implement the award.

(c) Judicial review

    Within 60 days after an award becomes binding under subsection (a) 
of this section, the interstate compact agency or the exclusive 
representative of the employees concerned may file a civil action in a 
court which has jurisdiction over the interstate compact agency for 
review of the award. The court shall review the award on the record, and 
shall vacate the award or any part of the award, after notice and a 
hearing, if--
        (1) the award is in violation of applicable law;
        (2) the arbitrator exceeded the arbitrator's powers;
        (3) the decision by the arbitrator is arbitrary or capricious;
        (4) the arbitrator conducted the hearing contrary to the 
    provisions of this chapter or other statutes or rules that apply to 
    the arbitration so as to substantially prejudice the rights of a 
    party;
        (5) there was partiality or misconduct by the arbitrator 
    prejudicing the rights of a party;
        (6) the award was procured by corruption, fraud, or bias on the 
    part of the arbitrator; or
        (7) the arbitrator did not comply with the provisions of section 
    1303 of this title.
