(c) Formal proceedings are terminated by the filing of a compensation order containing findings of fact and award, or other order of the deputy commissioner §§ 31.12, 31.13, 31.14, 41.11, 41.12, 41.13, and 51.1 of this chapter. (Sec. 19, 44 Stat. 1435, as amended; 33 U. S. C. 919)

[blocks in formation]

Review of a compensation case by the deputy commissioner may be had as prescribed by the act. The procedure outlined in the regulations requires an application to be filed in duplicate with the deputy commissioner stating the ground for review, which shall be supported by appropriate evidence (§§ 31.16, 41.15, and 51.1 of this chapter). The procedure in respect to such application for review is the same as is prescribed for claims by the act and regulations. The act does not authorize review by the Bureau of the action upon a claim by the deputy commissioner; judicial review of such action is however authorized, and the manner thereof is specified.
