     FILE:   B-208964.5           DATE: May 31, 1983

     MATTER OF:    Acme Reporting Company,
                     Inc.--Reconsideration
    DIGEST:


    Decision is affirmed on reconsideration in
    absence of any showing that earlier decision
    was based on errors of fact or law.

    Acme Reporting Company, Inc. (Acme), has requested
reconsideration of two of our decisions, Acme Reporting
Company, Inc.--Reconsideration, B-208964.4, April 1, 1983,
83-1 CPD     , and National Labor Relations Board - Request
for Advance Decision; Acme Reporting Company, Inc.,
B-208964, B-208964.2, March 1, 1983, 83-1 CPD 206.

     In Acme Reporting Company, Inc.--Reconsideration,
supra, we dismissed as untimely Acme's request for recon-
sideration based on information that our decision was
received by Acme's attorneys on March 4, 1983. We have
reviewed documentation submitted by Acme which indicates
that our decision was received by Acme's attorneys on either
March 8 or 9. In this circumstance, doubt as to timeliness
is resolved in favor of the protester. See Rolm
Intermountain Corporation, B-206327.4, December 22, 1982,
82-2 CPD 564. Therefore, we reverse our prior dismissal,
and we will consider Acme's request for reconsideration of
our decision.

     Based on the following, we affirm our prior decision.

     In our decision, we held that the rejection of Acme's
bid, based on the company's submission of an unreasonable
price for copies of transcripts to the public, was improper
because the furnishing of copies to the public was not made
the subject of a binding work requirement. Our recommenda-
tion was that the requirement be resolicited unless the
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) intended to provide
copies of the transcripts to the public, in which event
award could be made to Acme.
