# §30.247. What is not appropriate for a petition for reopening?


A petition for reopening may not:

- (a) Raise issues or objections that were already addressed in a prior rehearing or reopening order;
- (b) Raise issues or objections when the interested party had the opportunity to raise them earlier because they received proper notice of the hearing or summary decision; or
- (c) Submit evidence that was available or discoverable at the time the decision was issued, or available during the rehearing period. The requirements at [§ 30.238(e)](/cfr/43/30.238.md?p=e) concerning presentation of new evidence on rehearing also apply to the presentation of new evidence on reopening.
