Questione giuridica chiave
Whether procedural revision under Art. 53(1) ATSG is subject to a time limit.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The procedural revision of administrative decisions and objection decisions is generally subject to a 90-day period from discovery of the ground and, in any event, a ten-year outer limit from notification.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Art. 53 ATSG codified prior Federal Insurance Court practice and that neither the legislative materials nor later case law justified abandoning the established time limits derived from Art. 67 VwVG.
