U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR SECRETARY oF LABOR W ASHINGToN. D.C.

DATE: . December 13, 1995 CENED

_ CASE NO. 93-ERA-44 GI g j g g BY: DATE~

IN THE MATTER OF DOUGLAS.H?7'ISON, COMPLAINANT, v.

STONE & WEBSTER ENGINEERING' GROUP, RESPONDENT. -

i j

BEFORE: THE-SECRETARY OF LABOR l

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR STAY On August 22, 1995, I issued a Decision and Order in this I

case arising under section 211 (employee protection provision) of the Energy Reorganization Act, as amended (ERA), 42 U.S.C. S 5851 J

(1988 & Supp. V 1993). In the Decision, I found that Complainant had been demoted, in part, because of his participation in a protected safety complaint and that Respondent had failed to i

demonstrate that it would have demoted him even if he had not engaged'in that activity. I also awarded Complainant backpay and costs and expenses, including attorney fees, reasonably incurred in bringing the complaint. Complainant subsequently petitioned for costs and expenses. Respondent has not yet responded. It has, however, applied for a stay of the decision pending judicial l review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. i c :7 v

O 2

An agency may postpone the effective date of its orders pending judicial review upon firding "that justice so requires

. . . . 5 U.S.C. S 705 (1988); WMATC v. Holiday Tours, Inc.,

559 F.2d 841, 843 (D.C. Cir. 1977). Whether a stay is warranted turns on balancing four factors: (1) the likelihood trat the movant will prevail on the merits of the appeal; (2) the likelihood that the movant will suffer irreparable harm absent a stay; (3) the prospect that others will be harmed if the agency order is stayed; and (4) the public interest in granting a stay.

State of Ohio ex rel. Celebrezze v. NRC, 812 F.2d 288, 290-292 l (6th Cir. 1987); Virginia Petroleum Jobbers Ass *n v. Federal Power Comm'n, 259 F.2d 921, 925 (D.C. Cir. 1958). A movant is required to address each factor as it pertains to the circumstances of the case regardless of how compelling the factor may be in support of a stay, and must provide facts and affidavits supporting its assertions so that the record contains evidence upon which to base specific findings. State of Ohio ex.

rel. Celebrezze v. NRC, 812 F.2d at 290-291.

Respondent, which bases its application on administrative efficiency, lack of prejudice to Complainant, and the presence of "significant" issues, simply has not demonstrated the necessity I for granting a stay. Accordingly, the application IS DENIED. j i

SO ORDERED.
