Request for reconsideration of dismissal and rein- statement of complaint filed by grantor agency, contending its grant is not under act, which is true based on later informa- tion, is not for consideration as com- plainant has advised that it is no longer interested in pursuing matter. The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA), Department of Transportation, has requested reconsider- ation of our decision in the matter of Herzog Con- tracting Corporation (B-196296, October 26, 1979, 79-2 CPD 298).

It was stated in the complaint that these provisions were included in the solicitation pursuant to the Public Works Employment Act of 1977, 42 U.S.C. § 6705(f)(2). We dismissed the request for review since the legality of the MBE provisions of the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 has been the subject of con- flicting United States District Court opinions and 117.- (3IIS THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATEB WASHIN.JGTON,0.
