                      SUBCHAPTER II--ADMINISTRATIVE
 
Sec. 722. Board action

    (a) Effective Date of Actions.--Unless otherwise provided in 
subtitle IV, the Board may determine, within a reasonable time, when its 
actions, other than an action ordering the payment of money, take 
effect.
    (b) Terminating and Changing Actions.--An action of the Board 
remains in effect under its own terms or until superseded. The Board may 
change, suspend, or set aside any such action on notice. Notice may be 
given in a manner determined by the Board. A court of competent 
jurisdiction may suspend or set aside any such action.
    (c) Reconsidering Actions.--The Board may, at any time on its own 
initiative because of material error, new evidence, or substantially 
changed circumstances--
        (1) reopen a proceeding;
        (2) grant rehearing, reargument, or reconsideration of an action 
    of the Board; or
        (3) change an action of the Board.

An interested party may petition to reopen and reconsider an action of 
the Board under this subsection under regulations of the Board.
    (d) Finality of Actions.--Notwithstanding subtitle IV, an action of 
the Board under this section is final on the date on which it is served, 
and a civil action to enforce, enjoin, suspend, or set aside the action 
may be filed after that date.
