(1) Any party who disagrees with or wants a change in an initial order, other than correcting a clerical error, may seek review of the initial order with the BOA as provided in WAC 110-03-0520 through 110-03-0560.

(2) If more than one party requests review, each request must meet the deadlines described in WAC 110-03-0520.

(3) The review judge will consider a written request for review, any response or reply, the initial order, and the record before deciding if the initial order should be affirmed, reversed, or remanded for further proceedings. In reviewing the findings of fact in the record, the review judge will give due regard to the ALJ's opportunity to observe witnesses. Oral argument may be allowed, if the review judge determines that it is necessary.

(4) Review judges may not review final orders entered by an ALJ.
