    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
    On November 29, 1993 petitioner filed a motion seeking leave
    to file a amended petition. The amended petition itself did not
    accompany the motion. The Board accordingly construes the motion
    as a request to file the amended petition at some future date.
    The Board generally gives broad latitude to petitioners
    seeking to amend petitions where the intent of the amendment is
    to clarify the record and where the timing of the filing does not
    prejudice some other person. An appropriate, timely—filed
    amended petition is accordingly likely to be looked upon
    favorably by the Board.
    However, as regards the instant case, the Board cannot judge
    the acceptability of the amended petition until it is actually
    filed and thereby subject to review by the Board. Accordingly
    the instant motion for leave to file at a future date is denied.
    Petitioner may renew its motion for leave to file at the time of
    submission of the amended petition.
    The Board notes that a general consequence of filing an
    amended petition in a decision—deadline case is to cause the
    decision clock to restart. In the instant matter, however,
    petitioner has filed an open waiver and the decision—deadline
    provisions accordingly do not apply.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
